May 10, 2008 New Ship Of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 3

I hope no-one minds me posting this, but it's an e-mail that my DB has sent to our other DB, DSis and myself. I've used the *** for privacy.

Could you please send him and his DW, DS27 and DS13 prayers or pixie dust. I cannot begin to imagine how they are coping.

I am so very sorry. Prayers and pixie dust to you, your DB and his family.

But who gets 2,000?

I just found out that we will have free wireless internet when Scott and I are in Mexico next month! Actually, it will be great so I can email the girls every day and then we can IM at night. They don't like to talk to us when we are away from them (which breaks my heart, but I kind of understand), but they both love to get emails and chat via IM. (oh and then I can check in here. I can't even imagine how many pages I would be behind with a 10 day trip )

I've always wanted to be a rescue hero!

But seriously....sorry about your migraine.

thanks Hon. I took a little nap to get rid of it, so feeling a bit better now.

Ok I am caught up again. I have had a constant headache for a month. No medicine gets rid of it. I am going to call tomarrow to get an eye exam.

A friend of mine is losing her battle with cancer. She has been in NIH studies (one of the benefits to living here is DC) and was told 4 years ago she had 3-6 months to live. The treatment she has been having has just now started to fail and they have found cancer in her brian, liver and several other spots.

She wrote this long e-mail to explain what she has been though in the last 4 weeks and this one paragraph just killed me and I started to cry. I wanted to share it with you.

When I asked them for a long-term prognosis, I was given the 3-6 month speech. Although we kind of expected that, it is always a blow to hear it, as you can well imagine! Although I am so very confident about where I am going after death, going thru the process will be difficult and saying good bye the hardest thing I can think of. I have asked God to keep me strong and focused on Him and so many of you are helping me do just that. Thank you so much for your calls, cards and emails.

Lisa, I'm sorry for this news of your friend. Prayer for her of course are on there way.

I'm not sure what seems to have turn on the wind with us in the thread lately as I too have a childhood friend that has found out that she has masses on her colon, liver and lungs. Non operable, she had an IV port placed on 1/31 for chemo. This is my first "peer" that has been hit with this and to me it seems unreal. She lives in TX and is a single mom (but her ex is invovled and loving) Donna is her name. I also ask for prayers for her. She just entered this situtation less than 2 weeks ago.

Since I've been in that bed with tiny feet kicking me all night long, I'll think good thoughts for you!

 

[kimerinc]

Kaylee - you got 2000!

See it's Karma! Maybe they will call! Also, James is on survivor again, I love him!

 

[fourmcds]

Kaylee - you got 2000!

and I didn't even realize it.

 

[mishoe01]

I need help deciding how much obc I need to rack up in the next few months. I have the tips, and transportation prepaid so don't need to count those. I know I want to do some spa treatments, excursions in every port (except for Aruba which will be paid seperately), have some wine (and other drinks), Palo for tea, brunch, and dinner, and of course there is Shutters and souveniers. Any one have any ideas of what I should put up?????

 

[LisaG520]

Are you wearing the green tee shirt on terminal? I don't know yet whether to have white tee shirt with scottish flag on it or not?

We'll be wearing something matching but not sure yet if it will be lime green.

 

[pahrumpgirl]

I looked at the Mary Jane Minnie crocs that some one posted the link for many, many pages ago....they are cute! I may just have to get them

I've already ordered mine! Black and ruby.

Prayers and pixie dust to all those in need of it.

Nan - to you. You know you can count on us to send prayers or Donna, her children, her ex, and the rest of her family. I thank God that her ex is loving and involved (so many are not). I hope that is a comfort to her.

Well, that is a list. Here is what I did...I just picked the most expensive thing of each that I wanted...like the biggest shutters package, the couples spa retreat thing etc and made my total pretty inflated. I figure if I get that amount, I'll be good, if not, there was room to lessen things. Looking at that I would think 1000.00 would cover almost all of it, don't you? Am I way off? I am horrible at these things, why did I step up to give an opinion?!

 

[nskjerven]

I think it is 2 a.m. Eastern time, so that would make me midnight in the mountain time zone, and for you 11 p.m. You won't even have to get out of bed in the middle of the night to do it!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong!

I thought it was 9pm west coast, but I'm just mentioning what I read here before.

 

[fourmcds]

Off to see my last patient of the night before my weekend starts

to all that are going through rough times now with family and friends.

 

[nskjerven]

ok, I hate my hair. I don't know what I was thinking, I had it layered and she cut off a lot. It was all one length and almost to my waist...it is now barely below my shoulders. My hair takes a long time to grow..... I am going to go back and cry now.

V, remember it's just hair. And it does grow. Share with us take a pic and post. It might be just an adjustment for you since it was long for so long.
