Thank you. If you use ever need to chat give me a pm and I will give you my number.
Thank you. I will definitely keep that in mind and may reach out at some point.
Oh darlin', my heart just breaks with this news...sending lots of prayers and healing energy for your sister and family...(((HUGS))) to you all.
Thank you, Angel.
Sis is doin' much better this morning. They've moved her out of ICU and she's starting to eat a bit. Emotionally, she's just trying to figure things out and bounces between crying fits... I can't say that I blame her. I can't imagine the pain that she is going through right now. lmao. started playing that, and it got Ozzy's attn who was on the couch beside me, but it also brought Frankie runnin in from the back bedroom, to see what was going on.![]()
LOL! That lady got famous after that and has done a bunch of other appearances since.
This was the original news interview.
oh honey, I'm soooooo sorry! That just breaks my heart. I don't understand either. Anytime is heartbreaking, but especially so late in the pregnancy when you think everything is fine. Glad your sis is stable, but many prayers for her (physically and emotionally) and all of you!
I so wish I could get there. I'd gladly come and stay with her!
Thank you, Darlin'.
It's definitely a tough, heartbreaking situation... As for the funeral, I don't think that she's going to do one. Not sure what she's going to do yet, but she doesn't want to have a headstone where they are now, because she's not sure if they're going to stay in Springfield or not. I think that she's considering cremation and then figuring it all out later.
The display on my SDNA 75 has pretty much stopped working. I can get it to show if I keep messing with settings, in escribe, but then it stops working again...
I've even restored default settings, but no joy.
That sounds like a PITA. Could be that one if the chips is starting to go bad and losing settings/data. That's the only real downside to the regulated mods... eventually anything electronic will fail and troubleshooting it is a pain.
I am so sorry Kaez. Love and healing to you and your family. Very sad. Wishing the best.
Thank you, Cathy.
I love my sister dearly, and I really just wish that there was something that I could do for her... I now share the frustration that she's had over not being able to do anything for me and DB. There is just too much hardship in this world...Pay close attention to point #7, it does make a difference.
Just in case you are having a rough day (week, year, and life), here is a stress management technique recommended in all the latest psychological journals. The funny thing is that it really does work.

1. Picture yourself lying on your tummy on a warm rock that hangs out over a crystal clear stream.
2. Picture yourself with both your hands dangling in the cool running water.
3. Birds are sweetly singing in the cool mountain air.
4. No one knows your secret place.
5. You are in total seclusion from that hectic place called the world.
6. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity.
7. The water is so crystal clear that you can easily make out the face of the person you are holding underwater.
There!! See? It really does work.
You're smiling already.
LMAO!! That's pretty much how I deal with stress on a daily basis...
My job is secure! Thank you!! All of the positive vibes, good thoughts and prayers worked. I'm inside a good, fun cell. And it's the exact one I wanted to go into!![]()

I did get the display stand put together and just had to bring it in to see how it looked with the pens. Lordy, I didn't realize just how many I had sitting around. Now to figure out what to do with them.
That stand came out awesome! A slightly larger version would be perfect for tube mechs, too.
I'm not real clear on the details, but it seems that the placenta detached prematurely. She apparently had some bleeding yesterday morning so she and her husband went in to the ER. They couldn't hear the baby's heartbeat and did an ultrasound to confirm then did a C-section. They let my sister and my mom hold the baby afterwards. She was named Isabella Grace. Afterwards, my sister was still losing blood... they ended up giving her about 4 units of blood and some meds to help with clotting. As of last night, she was still in ICU and was having some kind of allergic reaction to something that they had given her, but Mama said that she was stable. I've not heard anything else yet this morning, but I am very worried and sad for my sister. Out of all my siblings, she is the kindest, most loving, and supportive. Just another instance that really makes me wonder why such horrible things have to happen to the best people...

They're not very well-weighted/balanced writing instruments, so I don't use them anyway. They are "pretty" though....
