Reflecting on some of Robins last posts....

[wovenwonder]

Ashton Kutcher... YUCK, he reminds me too much of my punk brother.

Being a true southerner I am a bit of a sweet tea snob. I know everywhere in the Dallas metroplex that has sweet tea. I actually decide where to eat lunch by my beverage choice. When I go to a new restaurant I ask if they have sweet tea and they don't I will just order tap water. Tea with sugar added after the fact is not sweet tea... it is simply sweetened tea

Favorite kind of cookie?
I love chocolate chip cookie dough without the chocolate chips - Don't tell me that it's just a sugar cookie. I prefer the name Chocolate Chip free Chocolate Chip Cookie. When I was little I would spend hours removing all the chocolate chips from my moms cookie dough when she left it in the fridge to set.

Becka - I know how you feel, Even now I cry when Caitlyn has to get shots. I think it upsets me more than her.

Our Admin went out on medical leave for 8 weeks last year. Her temp was a nutcase... She told me and a VP that she had a bladder infection and when she went tinkle it felt like she was having an orgasm. That was her first day with us... over the next 8 weeks the conversations just got more and more bizarre.

Umm... For those of you that PM'ed me asking if I was going to take my clothes off. YES! I can't very well sit at a nudist camp with clothes on.. I would feel very weird and over dressed.

KathyTX- I am trying to sheild Caitlyn from my Grandma as much as possible. Caitlyn only sees her about twice a year - always with her clothes on. I will try to find the ond Grandma at Disney post... I know at one ime WillyJ was able to repost it.

I had gastric bypass in December and went to WDW in March. Disney was very nice... I was even able to eat at the buffett meals for kids prices. When I made my PS I acked them to note it on my reservation- It wasn't a problem at all and often the wait staff would ask about the surgery and how I was doing.

BTW... I have lost 82 lbs and am doing wonderfully. Good Luck to you... feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.

Grandma is no longer involved with the 60 year old man.... she said that he just couldn't keep up with her. Being the perfect granddaughter that I am .... I wrote a very nice letter and mailed it to the jerks wife. I even included a picture of my Grandma in the buff.

She has decided to move to a retirement center about 10 minutes away from my house... it should be interesting to have her so close. She is excited that there seems to be single men at the complex... And most have insurance to cover Viagra.

I have extreamly low blood pressure.. and am being sent to a cardiologist next week for a full work up.

I run about 60/40.... the nurse was a little scared when she took it and kept asking if I felt ok.

Hellman's.

I love grilled cheese sandwiches with a little Hellmans on the bread.

For hamburgers I prefer sourcream over anything else with a little mustard. YUMMY.

For my ex mother in law -

If you think my calling you the "Mormon Monster" is disrespectful then you should be glad you haven't heard most of my other pet names for you.

I'm both anti-sock and sock challenged. During the warmer months March - Oct I mainly wear sandals. The cooler months are the hardest... I can't match socks to save my life. About 2 years ago I was given 30 pairs of cutesy socks... you know the kind with the little dogs, clouds, flogs, stripes, ect on them. Well, after the first washing I didn't pair them up right away... so it didn't take long for me to show up at work wearing 1 cat sock and 1 frog sock. My office admin used to keep a triple pack of new socks in her drawer just in case I had a metting and my socks didn't match.

Oh.. I always drive barefoot. I will refuse to drive if I can't take my shoes off.

Her posts always made me smile! And ofcourse that cute picture of Caitlyn will be forever in my mind. A very sad loss.

Thanks for posting this! Robin always had the best stories.

I too loved seeing that picture of Caitlyn and I always smiled when I read her signature line. Robin's best job will ALWAYS be being Catilyn's Mommy.

 

[snoopy]

She really was so very funny. In spite of all the tragedy that she had experienced in her life.......

I just can't seem to wrap my mind around this news........

Thanks for putting those quotes together, wovenwonder.

Oh reading this has been so poingant.

Such a tough life, such a wonderful attitude. My heart breaks for Caitlyn, who has suffered more than her share of tragedy in her short life.

 

[binny]

thank WW.

you know, my dh doesnt understand this at all. He says but you didnt really KNOW her. He just doesnt get it.

 

[Minnesota!]

Thank you for posting these. What a loss to us, her family, and all those that knew her. She was so funny...

 

[ead79]

Thanks for posting these. She really did have a terrific outlook on life, despite all she had been through.

 

[FOJMO]

That is SO SAD. From her profile, it looks like she was only 24? So young.

I am praying for Caitlyn and Robin's family to make it through OK. VAL

[phorsenuf]

Does anyone have a picture of her they can post?

 

[Dan Murphy]

I have a nice one I will post in a bit.

Always said,

*My best job is being Caitlyn's Mommy*

 

[Tinkbell]

What a great spirit she had.

 

[jamsmom]

Tears are just flowing...........

 

[kejoda]

Snoopy I can't wrap my mind around this either. Right now I have such a headache and feel sick to my stomach. I don't handle death well for anyone esp. someone so young and needed so much by her daugther.

 

[newmousecateer]

Thank you for getting these together. I always enjoyed her posts.

My heart is so heavy....

 

[helenabear]

Thank you Jody for putting these together for us. She was always a funny person...

Binny, I know what you mean. People think that just because someone is an "invisible" friend that they're somehow less than a friend than you'd have in real life.

When you connect with someone, it doesn't matter if it's face to face or just online. It's meaningful.

{{{sigh}}} -- I just wish that we could all wake up from this bad dream.

 

[Miss Jasmine]

Thank you for that, WW. I don't really want to read these threads but I can't help myself. I just really can't believe it.

As I told Binny in a PM --- I think we sometimes know each other even 'better' than some of our 'face to face' friends. It is often easier to open up to our bullentin board friends and thus reveal more of our true selves.
