I am back

[Guest guest]

Hi Rashelle,

I am glad that you are back

with us but please take your time because we know that you are a very busy

lady :-). Let me know if I can help out in any way! I am glad

that you had a great weekend with your family.

Love,

Michele

Hi Michele,

Thank you so much for your sweet message. I missed all of you too. I had planned to take my lap top but was a bit overloaded with luggage since I was taking birthday and Mother's day gifts so I left my computer behind.

I really appreciate your offer to help with the contest. Darlene offered too, and I am going to accept any time you can offer to help me sort through the results that were sent to me. This was so unexpected and unfortunately came at a time when I am a bit overloaded with so important matters to take care of. Your offer to help is like a huge blessing from Heaven. Thank you soooo much.

I hate to see the contest results held up like this, but unfortunately it was out of my control. But, all is well that ends well and with your help and Darlene's help we should be able to handle it all and reward our winner with her prizes and the praise she deserves. I am looking forward to seeing the photos. I have not been able to access them yet, I think I may need to load in some kind of software to view them.

This is all very exciting. I will look forward to getting this taken care of so we can all know who are worthy winner is.

Take care and thank you again, you are so precious to offer to help.

Love,

Rashelle

Hi ,

Thank you so much for this. Darlene sent me the files so I have been looking at all of your beautiful pictures. I am just so happy to see all of your sweet faces. What fun to be able to finally see what you all look like. I have had an image in my minds of how you all looked and now I don't have to imagine any longer.

Sure put a smile on my face.

I am trying to think of a way to do another contest that will be easier to monitor and will last longer, maybe 3 months. I will offer a nice prize, but first I have to work out the details of how to manage it. This last one kind of took me by surprise since we lost our two darlings who were going to manage it at the last minute. I need to set something up that will be more of a no brainer for me, since time is not something I have tons of.

Any suggestions?

Love,

Rashelle

[Guest guest]

You're welcome. I've been thinking of how to do a contest that wouldn't be so complicated and take up so much time. You have enough to do without worring about that. Let me think on it awhile and maybe we can come up with something. Anybody else have some suggestions? I do like the idea of having it last 3 months. I have to be out of town tomorrow for my grandbabys' 3rd birthday but will think about it and get back with you. Take care and I'm glad you're home safe and sound.

Love,

Welcome back Jo!

"All my closest friends live so far away that I have to travel to see them. I NEED to see them.I didn't need this computer crap."

Is there anyway that they can come and visit you if you are unable to get to them? "A friend once reminded me that I could die while traveling, but he meant in just a matter of fact "what is the worst thing that could happen?' kind of a thing"

Thats what I say too ... one must live in the now cause no one knows what tomorrow is going to bring. Only takes one work experience boy at the neuclar bombing headquarters to say "what does this button do" and there goes the world.

"I am done moaning and groaning for now. Brother is on vacation and will be home all week so you may hear more, before I am arrested for hurting him."

LOL ... use Sheena's potato but pop it in his mouth!

Good to have ya back Jo!

*hgu*<--------- Grrrrrrr

*HUGS*

Love Aisha.

Aisha,

Well they probably can't. One of them is disabled even more than I am and

she can't travel well.

Another is the mother of 2 small babies so that doesn't work either.

It is mostly that I need the trip and the escape and then I get to visit my

friends as well. But if it needs to wait until spring, then so be it!

ARGHHHHH

It is good to be back but I feel like I missed so much.

Love you all!

Jo

Dear Jo,

"It is good to be back but I feel like I missed so much."

You were dearly missed hon *hug* glad you are back with us again. How is your son's hand healing these days? And how are you own health problems? (apart from wanting to slap your brother and run screaming from the town!!)Love Aisha.

[Guest guest]

Gosh Jo, When you do it, you do it right!!! Glad you'rehome & feeling

better. Take it easy now. Hugs,

Hello everyone,

Well I just had to delete a tone of mail. I have no idea about too much

except the Urgent note about Leigh and caught me eye. Keeping them in

my prayers.

Well, I managed to fall and dash my head hard enough to give myself a

kingsize concussion. I talked to Anne in the week hours of the night last

week when I fell, just trying to make sure I was going to be okay. Thanks

Anne for being there.

I went to the clinic the next morning and while there for my head, my doctor

was concerned about the rest of me too. Seems I was developing pneumonia.

So off to the hospital I went for a few days of torture and torment. They

take no chances and lock me up whenever it seems that there is anything

wrong. I refer to it as The Big House, as in prison. But it helped for the

pneumonia and the concussion.

I came home this morning and I am still very exhausted. So I don't know how

much I will be reading or responding, but I am here.

Anne - thanks again for your caring and support.

Love and hugs,

Jo

I am fine. Still tired of course, but I will be fine. I get pneumonia

often. In restrospect it had probably weakened me enough that I fell more

easily.

I fell in the bathroom, caught my foot or my cane on the rug and went

backward crashing the base of my skull and my shoulder into the towel bar

before sliding to the floor. It was NOT a fun time. By the time I went to

the clinic the next morning I knew I was really sick, but I thought it ws

from the head.

The Slammer - The Big House - Lock Up - all those wonderful names for the

buildings we hate. I call my doctor The Warden when I am in there.

Aisha - don't worry about me, I am gonna be around to torment the hell out of

my children for a very long time. They made my life an incredible hell when

they were teenagers and I fully intend to get even. I just do it with

doctors and nurses instead of judges and police. BTW - they are wonderful

yound men now so all is well. But I am still getting even.

Although the oldest smart ass did say that he was going to start picking out

my nursing home, so I shaped up for a while.

I am planning a trip the middle of October, to be gone for a month. My

doctor said she thinks I will be ready to go. Trust me. I WILL be ready.

Hugs,

Jo

Welcome Back Jo!! I was starting to get worried about you!

"Well, I managed to fall and dash my head hard enough to give myself a kingsize concussion."

Shall I ask how? More importantly how are you now?

I do hope you are ok now. You can still be having affects of such a fall

a couple a weeks later, so be aware of it. It's nice to see you back. You

be careful now and YES torment the children, they probably well deserve it

as do mine.

Feel free hon! I'm glad you like it.

Welcome back, Pat!

Glad the leave went pretty well. You sound rested!

Joan

[Guest guest]

Hi Pat,

I'm glad you're back! I know what you mean about it being difficult to

" work " with . My son Brook is the same way. Many times we have tried

to work with him on this or that skill and he can be extremely uncooperative.

I now just save working with him on things that " I " deem to be very

important. Not what the so called specialists are asking me to do. I think

we all have to be careful not to burn out as it is often so difficult just

doing everything else we have to do.

We have an IEP today and I'm really curious what his new teacher is going

to say about him. She came for a home visit 2 days ago and has a very

positive attitude about him which is nice. The only problem is that I think

she overestimates what he can do sometimes. She has started telling me that

Brook is saying a few words at school among other things. My husband and I

are VERY skeptical about all of this because he certainly doesn't say them at

home. He does make sounds that she may just want to believe are words.

Well, I'd like to hear what his speech therapist has to say about it.

The other good thing is that she is taking a class on augmentative

communication and is going to pick a system with sound that she thinks will

work for him after she finishes an assessment process on him. He still

really has a hard time with pecs and the addition of sound seems to make all

the difference according to his teacher. This also reinforces speech. I'm

very interested in this and hope it really works for him.

Presently they are using a macaw at school. She is using concepts that are

way too abstract for him though like days of the week on it. He wouldn't

have a clue what Monday is. He needs pictures on it that he understands like

his normal routine, food, bath, outdoors, TV, car, etc. Well, hopefully we

can get this all taken care of once we determine which communication device

will work best for him. The one she has in mind costs $125. and he can carry

it around in a fanny pack.

welcome back!!!!

[Guest guest]

Well I took some time off from the newsgroup and am now back for awhile I

think. Stress and life just seemed to have gotten in the way. I ended up

going through an upper and lower GI but they did not find anything. So they

are saying it is nerves. Gee 3 teenagers why should I be nervous.

New to my life I have 2 grandchildren on the way, one in September one in

October. The one in September is 95% chance of being a boy. I will find

out tomorrow what the other one will be I hope. Well not much else I hope

all are well and pain free.

Joyce I remember you. It is good to hear from you too. I haven't lost all

my weight either. I have lost about 110 depending on the day but have

another 100 to go and think it will take a revision to get there. A LOT of

us are in that boat. Still...I am delighted that I had the surgery and would

rather need a revision that have lost TOO much...Anyway, I am glad to hear

from you but can't believe you are moving to NEW YORK from BEAUTIFUL<

WONDERFUL KENTUCKY...Do you still hear from ? I have lost touch with

her. How is she doing?

I am back

Hello all....I don't know if you remember me but I had my surgery on

July 19th 2000....My computer broke in December so I haven't been

able to post to the list for along time. Well everything is going

fine with me. The weight loss isn't what I wanted at almost a year

later but I guess I will have to be happy with it. I have lost only

65 pounds in a year. I would like to have a revision done.I have

missed the group and hearing how everyone is doing so I am glad to be

back on. My old name used to be RobandJoyplus4. Have a great day.
