Did Fan go somewhere? I haven't been here for a couple of days. Allie, I know you are grateful for your daughter's safety, but God what we go through! My son once broke his right arm three times in a year doing skating tricks. The first time, I was so sympathetic. The second time I was very calm. The third time, he was at the front door, holding his arm up, saying, "I broke my arm again, look!" and I just looked at him and said, "Shit!"

Speaking of my son (the Japan one, not the musician one), if you were around last Christmas, you remember the dilemma of his girlfriend's tourist visa. She is Korean but living in Osaka, where he is teaching English. They turned her down for a tourist visa. Then, she wanted to study English here, and she applied for a student visa, and she was turned down again. Now, my son, knowing that she wanted to come here and study English, decided that he would rather have her in Dallas rather than in another place where she could find another boyfriend. He told her she could stay with us, and sure enough, they found an intensive language program here. She was accepted. Then, she was turned down for her visa again. They both cried, and I mean, I could see them because we have skype with a camera attachment. Then, she went back to Korea to try to get a visa from there, and voila! she got it. Now, everyone is smiling. I asked how long she was staying and he said, "A year......" Whoa! And she's coming April 5, and he is staying in Japan. Everyone I know is laughing at me for being such a pushover. And I'm beginning to feel like a fool. Luckily, my husband really likes the idea, and I don't really mind it, but if they break up, she's going to have to live somewhere else. Like your daughter's car accidents and my son's broken arms, this is number three relationship that looks like it could be doomed. And after the first one, he attempted suicide. Whaddya gonna do? They're our blood.

I can't believe how one day without coming on here can leave me so far behind and feeling like I have let people down in the support stakes.

Mary, I am so sorry that all this is hitting you. It feels like one thing after another. Your strength is within you. You are the only person I know who could find time to address each one of us individually while facing all that you are feeling at the moment. We all think you are a truly wonderful person. :l

Welcome to all the new members and love to all those who are worrying.

Love waves

Hi Rachele,
Hope you get the computer fixed soon. We miss you.

Gotta a busy night. My son's spelling test this week has the words; Blue, Flew and Shoe. They all rhyme and are not spelled the same. Don't you just love the English language. I'm not sure I like taking the 3rd grade all over again. :H

Have a great evening everyone.

Betty Boo, I hope you're ok... it sounds like you need a massage and a cup of green tea. Here's a cyber hug instead and I hope tomorrow things seem a bit better.

I have read all contributions and you're all in my thoughts.

Oh Wow, its 9:30 at night and I'm warding off the wine bottle following me around but I shut on the door on it... lol! So thought I'd come here and read a bit.

Sophia -- I am so happy to hear that your son's girlfriend finally got her visa! But did I read that right that she is coming for a year but your son is staying in Japan? I can so relate to the story about the three broken arms, kinda of rhymes with three broken cars....:H

MKR, I feel bad because you are always so thoughtful of me and I havent sent you a PM and am so bad about personally addressing people. But you are so special and I always remember what you said to me that time about knowing that you are always there in my pocket when I need you. I've thought of you of you so much, and hope much sunshine comes your way. Big HUG! :h

Thanks to everyone else as well for the thoughts about Virginia (my daughter). She is doing so much better and her attitude couldnt be better today. She knows she was being careless and said it will probably do her some good to be without a car for a while, and that she is sorry that I have to be inconvencienced? I told her I could probably get her to give me a few back massages and clean the house or something if she was feeling THAT guilty.

I'm feeling really good about starting over on the program this time. A little antsy, but really good.

Night everyone.

Wow, I'm glad your daughter was not hurt. I miss talking to you. Hang in there..

Two glasses of wine was great, I probably would have drank two BOTTLES!
