Goodnight ma. Goodnight pa

[NoraC]

Never heard of The Fix. Going to check it out. Thanks.

[Rusty]

Nora, I definitely think your long AF time now is due to a spiritual element you didn't have before...I know it is true for me. So happy for you. You seem so at peace. How is your Mom?

GREAT NEWS, EVERYONE! My Mom passed her driver's test! She can drive until 2020. I have never heard her so excited...she's so giggly and giddy...she has been so down about failing it the first time. Thanks everyone for your support.:heartbeat:

Yay Mama Rusty!!
Is Pauly gone for good?? That would upset me.
SK - stay here with us and ignore the naysayers....this is a thread of support....I have skimmed the meds thread a few times but it's over my head!!
Yes - I am busy, busy. I am training someone and writing a budget on a property I have been on three months, so I know very little about it. Plus I deal with owners, who are my top priority , and about 40 employees that like to fuss.
But I am sober and really trying to learn to ignore ugliness and sarcasm and backstabbing that comes with being the boss.
I hope those of you in physical pain are doing better and those of you with family issues are hanging in there.
Lizz, Nora, Pauly, SK, AG, Aifla, Techie and everyone......HUGE hugs. I have to blaze now.
Know that you are all cherished.
Oh Nora....Pennnsatucky is pregnant again.......I'll let Nora explain!! it's an old story!

[NoraC]

Pauly is still around but has a home base on the abstainers thread. As long as she is happy that is all that matters. Hi Pauly. :checkin:

[SKendall]

Rusty, tell your mom "good job" on passing her test. Mama hugs back and hello to everyone else.

[NoraC]

Oh my goodness....... Prince passed away. He is my age. Was.......

[SKendall]

Nora, I just saw that. I wonder if he had complications from that flu?

Sad, he was a great talent.

Hi Ne maybe another trip to the dr. I was on Celexa and it wasn't effective long term release of wellbutrim and 20 mg of Lexapro is the best combo for me. Good Luck. Are you sleeping late due to depression?

Ne,if you don't mind me asking what ad were you taking? I'm so leery of them but I can't seem to control my anxiety anymore Imay hafta llook into something

[NoraC]

Well - just had emergency here for the man across the street. He had a mass on his back or spine. He went thru chemo and it had gone down. He was getting better and stronger. Then they found a mass on his wife. She has been going thru chemo.
We were talking to him out at the ice-cream truck 2 or 3 weeks ago. They had just got really good results on her. One of her masses was gone. We talked about what a miracle and blessing it was.
Come to find out, his cancer mass came back and is pressing on his spine. He has been in terrible pain. It has reached the point that his legs are numb - he can't feel them. I think that he fell and his wife said that was enough and she insisted on calling 911. This does not sound good.

I called my next door neighbor to find out if she knew what had happened. While she was telling me that the cancer had come back, she mentioned another neighbor. A married couple that live down the street. I've only talked to them a couple of times. But, come to find out, she suddenly turned yellow. They rushed her to the hospital. Took her into surgery and the cancer was everywhere. Closed her up and they brought her home when they could. She died last Thursday.

Then found out that my neighbors niece was back on meth and had her kids taken away. At least they are with her Mom so that she can have supervised visits. Breaks my heart - I've watched her grow up. She's 3 or 4 years older than my son.

[Rusty]

Wow, Nora, that is so sad! Hugs coming to you from Wisconsin.

[NoraC]

Morning folks.....or afternoon or evening.

How is everyone doing?

Pauly - I take 20 mg of lexapro daily. I've been considering trying to wean off but don't want to rock the boat.

[NoraC]

Thanks Rusty. :heartbeat:

[SKendall]

Nora, that is awful. It reminds me of what my father used to say, "always be kind to a stranger you never know what path they are on".

Pauly, glad to see you. On the anxiety I take Calm's forte and magnesium.

[mama bear]

Hi all
Nora - that is horrible news...
I take Paxil and have for twenty plus years and would be terrified to come off of it. Depression SUCKS Ne, so lots of hugs for you.
Hi Pauly...miss you hun
I have worked my rear off this week......but I made a lot of strides and my owners are happy...for the moment.
I am whipped and ready for the weekend
I downloaded some Prince stuff to listen to on my way to work this morning
Good to see everyone
I will a LONG post tomorrow...I promise. My life is boring and that's a good thing.
