Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Val this is EXCELLENT news!!! I am so happy for you. Hugs nne Hello everyone!~ I'm back....for a little while anyway. First of all, I'd like to welcome all the new members of the group. My name is Valene, but I usually go by Val. Less confusion. I'm 47. A newlywed, married to a law enforcement officer. Between us, we have 11 children and 17, going on 18 grandchildren. We live in NC. I was dx'd with MS back in 85 (RRMS). Although, I am happy that you have decided to join our close knit family, I am saddened that it took an illness of yours or a loved-one to do so. But, I am convinced that you'll find all the support and information that you need here. This is what's happening in our neck of the woods. I'm on dial up now, because we lost the DSL. OMGoodness, is it ever slow! Not to mention that I'm always getting bumped and losing whatever I'm working on at the time. In fact, this is the second attempt at getting this message out. I am praying that it doesn't happen again. Tom(dh), and I went to visit a really nice young lady yesterday. She is losing her current roommate and needs someone to sublet her apartment. She and I hit it off right from the start. She's 32, and ex Navy police officer, and a student at NCSU. Obviously not your typical college student. The apartment is a 2 bdrm. 2 bath. Perfect for us as I really hate sharing a bathroom with other people. OMGoodness, I don't know if I told you all before that I LOVE animals, but now I get to be around some. She has 2 cats and a dog. Funny thing...She says she never lets her cats outside, but I didn't smell a cat box the whole time I was there. That to me is a sign of a clean person. And by observing the apartment, I was satisfied that this young lady was as clean as myself. Big plus. Talking with her was like talking to myself. We have so many intrests and quirky ways that are very much the same. Tom pretty much didn't say much while we were there. Of course, he rarely does. A lot of people think he's shy. He's not. He just has a very low self esteem and thinks that everyone is judging him. It's funny though; as soon as he puts on his uniform, he's a completely different person. He suddenly becomes the " authority figure " . Anyway, he told me that he was going to leave this decission up to me. He said if I wanted to move there, then that's what we'll do. I told her that I would give her a call Tue. (tomorrow) about our decission. Tom woke up this morning and told me he wanted me to place another ad in craigslist.org to see if we get anymore offers. I'm not going to do it, because I've already made up my mind. We will be moving into the apartment. There's just too many positives that out weigh the negatives, not to mention that we'll be able to save more money. Actually, a lot more money. This place is close to Tom's job and just that alone will cut his driving time in half and also our gas usage. Tom would prefere to live in the country and not in an apartment. Personally, I would too, but right now it's more important that we save some money so we can get a place of our own. We will only be obligated to stay at the apartment untill Aug. 15 of next year. I think we should spend that time saving our money. And besides, if we have to wait to see if anyone else responds to our ad, we may end up hurting ourselves. We may end up having to stay here even longer. I'm not williing to do that. I've allowed him to keep me in this dump for 7 years, all the while my health as plummeted rapidly. I've got to start thinking about my health now, not about playing miss obedient refugee. Okay, I'll close this now. Good thing I only write mini novels after being gone awhile, huh? This isn't even half of the stuff I want to share with you all, but this is at the top of the list. Once again...Welcome to the group my new newbie friends. May God bless you all abundantly.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Congrats!!! Seems a few of the group are getting good news of late! Sadly, we are not among them. Rob's PC, AND the backup PC, died. The van died, needed $350 to fix, leaving us broke, and Now, Rob's family is begging him to go to Fla because his dad has cancer and they need Rob to go help get the place wheelchair ready (build ramps etc) (and deal with all the stuff in the garage, not sure what that has to do with Da going home)(he is in a nursing home right now)(Da I mean not Rob) and we have NO $ to get him down there...

I'm not going to do it, because I've already made up my mind. We will be moving into the apartment. There's just too many positives that out weigh the negatives, not to mention that we'll be able to save more money. Actually, a lot more money. This place is close to Tom's job and just that alone will cut his driving time in half and also our gas usage. Tom would prefere to live in the country and not in an apartment. Personally, I would too, but right now it's more important that we save some money so we can get a place of our own. We will only be obligated to stay at the apartment untill Aug. 15 of next year. I think we should spend that time saving our money. And besides, if we have to wait to see if anyone else responds to our ad, we may end up hurting ourselves. We may end up having to stay here even longer. I'm not williing to do that. I've allowed him to keep me in this dump for 7 years, all the while my health as plummeted rapidly. I've got to start thinking about my health now, not about playing miss obedient refugee. Okay, I'll close this now. Good thing I only write mini novels after being gone awhile, huh? This isn't even half of the stuff I want to share with you all, but this is at the top of the list. Once again...Welcome to the group my new newbie friends. May God bless you all abundantly.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Congrats!!! Seems a few of the group are getting good news of late! Sadly, we are not among them. Rob's PC, AND the backup PC, died. The van died, needed $350 to fix, leaving us broke, and Now, Rob's family is begging him to go to Fla because his dad has cancer and they need Rob to go help get the place wheelchair ready (build ramps etc) (and deal with all the stuff in the garage, not sure what that has to do with Da going home)(he is in a nursing home right now)(Da I mean not Rob) and we have NO $ to get him down there... So prayers in our direction, please? Hugs Akiba -- I'm back... Hello everyone!~ I'm back....for a little while anyway. First of all, I'd like to welcome all the new members of the group. My name is Valene, but I usually go by Val. Less confusion. I'm 47. A newlywed, married to a law enforcement officer. Between us, we have 11 children and 17, going on 18 grandchildren. We live in NC. I was dx'd with MS back in 85 (RRMS). Although, I am happy that you have decided to join our close knit family, I am saddened that it took an illness of yours or a loved-one to do so. But, I am convinced that you'll find all the support and information that you need here. This is what's happening in our neck of the woods. I'm on dial up now, because we lost the DSL. OMGoodness, is it ever slow! Not to mention that I'm always getting bumped and losing whatever I'm working on at the time. In fact, this is the second attempt at getting this message out. I am praying that it doesn't happen again. Tom(dh), and I went to visit a really nice young lady yesterday. She is losing her current roommate and needs someone to sublet her apartment. She and I hit it off right from the start. She's 32, and ex Navy police officer, and a student at NCSU. Obviously not your typical college student. The apartment is a 2 bdrm. 2 bath. Perfect for us as I really hate sharing a bathroom with other people. OMGoodness, I don't know if I told you all before that I LOVE animals, but now I get to be around some. She has 2 cats and a dog. Funny thing...She says she never lets her cats outside, but I didn't smell a cat box the whole time I was there. That to me is a sign of a clean person. And by observing the apartment, I was satisfied that this young lady was as clean as myself. Big plus. Talking with her was like talking to myself. We have so many intrests and quirky ways that are very much the same. Tom pretty much didn't say much while we were there. Of course, he rarely does. A lot of people think he's shy. He's not. He just has a very low self esteem and thinks that everyone is judging him. It's funny though; as soon as he puts on his uniform, he's a completely different person. He suddenly becomes the "authority figure". Anyway, he told me that he was going to leave this decission up to me. He said if I wanted to move there, then that's what we'll do.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Akiba~ Your request was already answered before you asked. I did pray for you and your family today. Something/someone whispered to my heart and told me that your family was in need. I stopped immediatelly and said a prayer for you and yours. I am so sorry. I lost my DSL. That is why I was off line for 2 weeks. Dummy me had forgotten that I had a brand new modem that I had never used, and a bunch of freebie aol disks lying around. It wasn't untill just a couple of days ago that it dawned on me that I should use them. Now I have over 1,080 messages in my box. There is no way I'm going to be able to respond to all of them. So I'm just starting from now and answering what I can and responding to those that are what I consider a top priority. Of course...Most of the MSer mail is a high priority for me so I'm having to sort through them. I am so sorry to hear about Rob's dad. I know your hearts must be very heavy, indeed. And I am lifting him up in prayer that he is touched with healing and serenity. You know that if I had the money, I would send it to you without hesitation. You have always been here for me and so many others on this list. I just hope that my prayers will be enough. I will only be on line for a short while. Maybe 2 weeks at the most. Then, I'll be moving. I don't know how long it will take for me to get internet service restored, but my new roommate told me yesterday that the apartment complex provides free internet access. What a blessing!! But, while I'm gone, I don't want you to forget about me. While I was offline, I sent you an email, using Tom's cell. Did you receive it? I sent emails to a few people on the list and didn't get a respond from anyone, so I'm presuming that the mail didn't go through. Well, that's what I'd like to think. May you be blessed. I love you... Val I'm back... Hello everyone!~ I'm back....for a little while anyway. First of all, I'd like to welcome all the new members of the group. My name is Valene, but I usually go by Val.

You can read all about it athttp://kimkinsexposed.wordpress.com/ I'm back... Hello everyone!~ I'm back....for a little while anyway. First of all, I'd like to welcome all the new members of the group. My name is Valene, but I usually go by Val. Less confusion. I'm 47. A newlywed, married to a law enforcement officer. Between us, we have 11 children and 17, going on 18 grandchildren. We live in NC. I was dx'd with MS back in 85 (RRMS). Although, I am happy that you have decided to join our close knit family, I am saddened that it took an illness of yours or a loved-one to do so. But, I am convinced that you'll find all the support and information that you need here. This is what's happening in our neck of the woods. I'm on dial up now, because we lost the DSL. OMGoodness, is it ever slow! Not to mention that I'm always getting bumped and losing whatever I'm working on at the time. In fact, this is the second attempt at getting this message out. I am praying that it doesn't happen again. Tom(dh), and I went to visit a really nice young lady yesterday. She is losing her current roommate and needs someone to sublet her apartment. She and I hit it off right from the start. She's 32, and ex Navy police officer, and a student at NCSU. Obviously not your typical college student. The apartment is a 2 bdrm. 2 bath. Perfect for us as I really hate sharing a bathroom with other people. OMGoodness, I don't know if I told you all before that I LOVE animals, but now I get to be around some. She has 2 cats and a dog. Funny thing...She says she never lets her cats outside, but I didn't smell a cat box the whole time I was there. That to me is a sign of a clean person. And by observing the apartment, I was satisfied that this young lady was as clean as myself. Big plus. Talking with her was like talking to myself. We have so many intrests and quirky ways that are very much the same. Tom pretty much didn't say much while we were there. Of course, he rarely does. A lot of people think he's shy. He's not. He just has a very low self esteem and thinks that everyone is judging him. It's funny though; as soon as he puts on his uniform, he's a completely different person. He suddenly becomes the "authority figure". Anyway, he told me that he was going to leave this decission up to me. He said if I wanted to move there, then that's what we'll do. I told her that I would give her a call Tue. (tomorrow) about our decission. Tom woke up this morning and told me he wanted me to place another ad in craigslist.org to see if we get anymore offers. I'm not going to do it, because I've already made up my mind. We will be moving into the apartment. There's just too many positives that out weigh the negatives, not to mention that we'll be able to save more money. Actually, a lot more money. This place is close to Tom's job and just that alone will cut his driving time in half and also our gas usage. Tom would prefere to live in the country and not in an apartment. Personally, I would too, but right now it's more important that we save some money so we can get a place of our own. We will only be obligated to stay at the apartment untill Aug. 15 of next year. I think we should spend that time saving our money. And besides, if we have to wait to see if anyone else responds to our ad, we may end up hurting ourselves. We may end up having to stay here even longer. I'm not williing to do that. I've allowed him to keep me in this dump for 7 years, all the while my health as plummeted rapidly. I've got to start thinking about my health now, not about playing miss obedient refugee. Okay, I'll close this now. Good thing I only write mini novels after being gone awhile, huh? This isn't even half of the stuff I want to share with you all, but this is at the top of the list. Once again...Welcome to the group my new newbie friends. May God bless you all abundantly.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Wow, awesome I have been praying for you to fine a place, I am SO very Happy that you have! Will your rent be lower? And free Internet! What a bonus!! Rob's dad has bone cancer. It has eaten some of his leg and spread to his shoulder. I don't think he will be with us much longer, and it will kill his Mom to lose him. Either that or she will become a swinging senior! His sister has CF, and her hobby has MS. What a crowd, eh? They want to do a lung transplant on Rita, I don't know if she will have it or not. I know she is pretty scared about it. Well 'nuff of that, gotta let those prayers reach God's ears, and not clog them up with chatter. hugs Akiba -- Re: I'm back... Akiba~ Your request was already answered before you asked. I did pray for you and your family today. Something/someone whispered to my heart and told me that your family was in need. I stopped immediatelly and said a prayer for you and yours. I am so sorry. I lost my DSL. That is why I was off line for 2 weeks. Dummy me had forgotten that I had a brand new modem that I had never used, and a bunch of freebie aol disks lying around. It wasn't untill just a couple of days ago that it dawned on me that I should use them. Now I have over 1,080 messages in my box. There is no way I'm going to be able to respond to all of them. So I'm just starting from now and answering what I can and responding to those that are what I consider a top priority. Of course...Most of the MSer mail is a high priority for me so I'm having to sort through them. I am so sorry to hear about Rob's dad. I know your hearts must be very heavy, indeed. And I am lifting him up in prayer that he is touched with healing and serenity. You know that if I had the money, I would send it to you without hesitation. You have always been here for me and so many others on this list. I just hope that my prayers will be enough. I will only be on line for a short while. Maybe 2 weeks at the most. Then, I'll be moving. I don't know how long it will take for me to get internet service restored, but my new roommate told me yesterday that the apartment complex provides free internet access. What a blessing!! But, while I'm gone, I don't want you to forget about me. While I was offline, I sent you an email, using Tom's cell. Did you receive it? I sent emails to a few people on the list and didn't get a respond from anyone, so I'm presuming that the mail didn't go through. Well, that's what I'd like to think. May you be blessed.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 The rent is only I think $10.00 or $20.00 cheaper. But, we will be living a lot closer to Toms job, so we'll be saving twice as much on his usual gas usage. Please tell Rob that my prayers are with him and his father. And of course, his mother as well. A lung transplant on Rita? Oh my stars!! Well, I don't blame her for being frightened. I certainly have been busy the last couple of days. My prayer list is just growing and growing. Ahhh, but it it gives me a sense of purpose to be able to help all those who are in need of prayer. Love and blessings...Val P.S. Thank you for remembering me in your thoughts and prayers. Much love... I'm back... Hello everyone!~ I'm back....for a little while anyway. First of all, I'd like to welcome all the new members of the group. My name is Valene, but I usually go by Val. Less confusion. I'm 47. A newlywed, married to a law enforcement officer. Between us, we have 11 children and 17, going on 18 grandchildren. We live in NC. I was dx'd with MS back in 85 (RRMS). Although, I am happy that you have decided to join our close knit family, I am saddened that it took an illness of yours or a loved-one to do so. But, I am convinced that you'll find all the support and information that you need here. This is what's happening in our neck of the woods. I'm on dial up now, because we lost the DSL. OMGoodness, is it ever slow! Not to mention that I'm always getting bumped and losing whatever I'm working on at the time. In fact, this is the second attempt at getting this message out. I am praying that it doesn't happen again. Tom(dh), and I went to visit a really nice young lady yesterday. She is losing her current roommate and needs someone to sublet her apartment. She and I hit it off right from the start. She's 32, and ex Navy police officer, and a student at NCSU. Obviously not your typical college student. The apartment is a 2 bdrm. 2 bath. Perfect for us as I really hate sharing a bathroom with other people. OMGoodness, I don't know if I told you all before that I LOVE animals, but now I get to be around some. She has 2 cats and a dog. Funny thing...She says she never lets her cats outside, but I didn't smell a cat box the whole time I was there. That to me is a sign of a clean person. And by observing the apartment, I was satisfied that this young lady was as clean as myself. Big plus. Talking with her was like talking to myself. We have so many intrests and quirky ways that are very much the same. Tom pretty much didn't say much while we were there. Of course, he rarely does. A lot of people think he's shy. He's not. He just has a very low self esteem and thinks that everyone is judging him. It's funny though; as soon as he puts on his uniform, he's a completely different person. He suddenly becomes the "authority figure". Anyway, he told me that he was going to leave this decission up to me. He said if I wanted to move there, then that's what we'll do. I told her that I would give her a call Tue. (tomorrow) about our decission. Tom woke up this morning and told me he wanted me to place another ad in craigslist.org to see if we get anymore offers. I'm not going to do it, because I've already made up my mind. We will be moving into the apartment. There's just too many positives that out weigh the negatives, not to mention that we'll be able to save more money. Actually, a lot more money. This place is close to Tom's job and just that alone will cut his driving time in half and also our gas usage. Tom would prefere to live in the country and not in an apartment. Personally, I would too, but right now it's more important that we save some money so we can get a place of our own. We will only be obligated to stay at the apartment untill Aug. 15 of next year. I think we should spend that time saving our money. And besides, if we have to wait to see if anyone else responds to our ad, we may end up hurting ourselves. We may end up having to stay here even longer. I'm not williing to do that. I've allowed him to keep me in this dump for 7 years, all the while my health as plummeted rapidly. I've got to start thinking about my health now, not about playing miss obedient refugee. Okay, I'll close this now. Good thing I only write mini novels after being gone awhile, huh? This isn't even half of the stuff I want to share with you all, but this is at the top of the list. Once again...Welcome to the group my new newbie friends. May God bless you all abundantly.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 OMGosh. Both died? What the heck happened? I'm so sorry to hear of Rob's Father. Of course you'll be in our prayers. Hugs, Challis Akiba wrote: Congrats!!! Seems a few of the group are getting good news of late! Sadly, we are not among them. Rob's PC, AND the backup PC, died. The van died, needed $350 to fix, leaving us broke, and Now, Rob's family is begging him to go to Fla because his dad has cancer and they need Rob to go help get the place wheelchair ready (build ramps etc) (and deal with all the stuff in the garage, not sure what that has to do with Da going home)(he is in a nursing home right now)(Da I mean not Rob) and we have NO $ to get him down there...
