:grouphug: I'm so sorry. Keeping the family and your daughter in my prayers, tonight.

When people tell me this, my argument is that if that is the case, then any legal recognition of marriage is unconstitutional. Only, it's not. There are many legal and tax benefits (as you mentioned) to marriage that have nothing to do with religion. Also, if marriage is purely religious, then...

Okay, I'm a total lurker and none of you know me- sorry if this is weird. OrlandoMike, that was great! Can I have your permission to print that out read it to my GSA (crediting you, of course)? I've always wondered about how people with such murky histories can run on "family values" platforms...

I'm am so sorry for that awful diagnosis! Do they know why? I have known a few people with CHF that all lived, but in those cases the doctors just treated it and did not give them an estimate of how much time they have left. I pray that they find a way to fix your son's CHF. Is he a candidate...

The role-playing you have been doing sounds great! When we had to prepare a kid I babysit for airport security the first time (he has ASD and was 5 1/2) we told a lot of social stories, but I think role playing is even more helpful. We told him things like "Before we get to the airplane, you...

Ooo boy, do I know that feeling. And I'm a chronic complainer (though I try to limit it to my journal and therapist). I realized how bad it got when my (now ex) friend told me she had the precursor to lupus, and she went on and on for weeks about how she would have to change her life to avoid...

Yup. I remember Haunted Mansion/Nightmare Before Christmas pressed quarters. They were $1.25 as I recall. I'm not sure how many machines there are (that might be the only quarter machine). By the way, I use lemon juice or hot sauce to clean my pennies. They are all nice and shiny! ETA: The NBC...

I'm so sorry for your loss. I definitely agree. My sister died in March, and I still have quite a few bad days. I know all about chocolate- a combination of it and a thyroid problem cuased me to gain 50 lbs after she died- don't go down that road. Things that work for me: Writing in a...

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose someone who is physically far away but emotionally very close. You just want to go there and make it right. :grouphug: HUGS :grouphug: I hope you will be able to attend the services.

I'll be at Pop 8/12-8-18 Neither my BFF or I have ever been t WDW before, so we're really excited! Though I'm way more obsessed than she is.

I feel like I should have some great wealth of information here as my little sister had Familial Dysautonomia. Don't look at my sig and think "Oh no! She died young, I will, too!" because she obviously had a different dysfunction than you have. If you had FD, you'd have known long ago, and would...

Hi, not to hi-jack this thread, but I have some questions about sci-fi (and ADRs in general). My BFF does not want to go here because of the mixed reviews. She says she goes to restaurants for food not atmmosphere. I still kind of want to go. I just want to go for drinks and apetizers, though...

Just booked Aug 12-18 '08. It'll be the first trip for both my BFF and me! I am so excited (and so obsessed). POP looks so fun!

My uncle had quadruple bypass surgery 15 years ago and came out fine. The medical technology has improved a lot since then- that makes me think the outcome will be positive for your DH (and my uncle was in terrible shape beforehand). :grouphug: Sending prayers and good thoughts for your DH. I...

:grouphug: Major hugs to you! I'm so sorry you have to go through this, and with a mother who sounds less than supportive. You had every right to miss a day of school after this! I've never been through a miscarriage myself, but a friend of mine did have one recently. She was 7 weeks along, and...

Just need to vent- I hope this is okay here. Erg. I went to Target today with my mom. I should preface with the fact that even though my psychiatrist recently said I have high-functioning Asperger's (she says if I have to practice my facial expressions- something is wrong besides depression)...

I'm thankful for: -my family to come home to. -my parents who have been so supportive. -the fact that I've never had go without food. -things that make me smile or laugh.

Thank you all so much for caring, it really helps to know so many people care. I am doing 10x better now. I am on wellbutrin and have started treatment for hypothyroidism (which definitely contributed to my blobiness). I am at home right now, taking a break from cooking pumpkin soup, sweet...

Ditto. And if I can't join, I'll read the book anyway! Mwahahaha! I'm so evil;)

Congrats! Good to see things turning out well. I must say, in almost every case I've seen, the second a lawyer is called in, the school district straightens up and flies right.
