The Journey begins here...So Get your ass in gear for 2011

I am here sipping coffee. I am SO SORRY if I upset Swannie..I had no idea...I just wanted her to know how much we care about her.
Dad is waiting to hear about a course of treatment and then he and mom will go to whatever cancer center is determined to be the best. Money is not a problem for them and they have excellent insurance. What upset me so last night was the thought of him lying on the bathroom floor throwing up blood so far away from home. I am sure he will be fine and I will keep you all filled in. I told him I loved him as we hung up (I always do) and for the first time ever he said "I love you too". That got to me too. he is a very private and reserved person.

Thanks for all your kind words and Ruby thanks for the thought of a card.
Happy Birthday Luke!!

Ok...enough about me. RC - I am so sorry for your troubles. I wish I could help. I completely understand your worry and desperation.
I promise to keep taking my vitamins!!
Good Lord the snow is unbelievable. I am watching the news while I type and it's all snow, snow, snow. Please be safe and warm my northern family members.
Vicki....hope you are ok. Just let go of whatever is concerning you. There is no need to hold on to your concerns that you have offended someone. Let's just focus on the positive and healing.
Sunni..thanks for your sweet pm. and PLEASE tell Swannie I am sorry. I had no idea that would offend her. I love her and worry about her.
Hi Nora and fen!!

Cool vid, bird! I'd venture out on a chilly night to listen to you guys.

Swanny, I love and miss you! Please come back to us.
RC, sweetie, I'm so sorry for all your worries. You are a strong, intelligent woman, and will come through this.
Sun, hope you're keeping your bum warm! I'm sure you're off to a busy, busy, day.
Rog, tell Luke HB! Has he gotten his license sorted out yet?
Bird, sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh at that visual. A cat earring??? And your vidoes rock!!
MB, sweetie, I know that breaks your heart. But as you said, he will get the best care possible. Keep telling him you love him every chance. I know you will and it's great medicine for him. (and you)
Couldn't sleep till 2:30 AM, then at 6 the neighbors dogs 1/2 mile away started a chorus that lasted 30 minutes. As I began to drift off to sleep, they started the second verse!
Be good to yourselves, my dear companions.

Swannie -
I am wondering if maybe there is a difference in the meaning of a 'care package' between the way we use the word in the United States.
We use that term 'care package' to mean a package of love. I am wondering if over there it might mean for a poor person.
Over here it means - a basket filled with goodies to cheer someone up. I have prepared many care packages.
A basket filled with bubble bath and a bath pillow and rubber duckies.
A basket with books and little treats to eat while you are reading.
A basket of gossip magazines with high calorie treats. :H
I have mailed a box just filled with Winnie the Pooh little toys to a friend.
My friend mailed me books & cds filled with favorite music.
My friend mailed me a little stuffed animal.

Anyway, I have been thinking about you a lot. And I was just wondering if maybe it means something different over there. We use care packages a lot over here. It's something we do when we love someone. We try to prepare a little something that gives them a smile.

We miss you Swannie. Hope to hear from you soon.

NoraC
xxooxx

RC - I'm thinking of you. I wish that I had some good advise or help to offer you. But, my thoughts are being sent to you.

Jan - Think strong good thoughts. I know how devastating this news is. But, hang in there. My thoughts are being sent to you also.

Grateful - how is your mouth?

Hello to everyone else. I think about you all so much. You really are part of my life. :l

PS - Could not get into chat again last night. I sent another message to support. I know that other people are complaining about the same problem.

Nora, so glad you posted that explanation for Swan. I send care packages all the time too. Daughter got one a week for 5 years in college. Sick friends, children, it just brightens anyone's day to get something sent with love. I adore surprises! One of my fav Christmas gifts was a homemade surprise from a dear friend here.
Hope things are working out well with the bedroom refuge too, Nora. You deserve some peace.

Howdy Friends......Sorry I have'nt been posting for awhile. My wife had a bad accident last week. She fell down our stairs and fractured her Tebia ( Leg) and ankle. I took her to the hospital where she had surgery, they placed a plate and several screws in her left leg and ankle. She won't be able to even put weight on her leg for 8 weeks. I have been taking care of her and have had little time to post. I will post when I get the time. Take care everyone..........Tony
