Wic, Pooh and I have something in common in that we both were on our own at a young age and there are far worse things we could have done to pay the rent than to wrestle, arm or otherwise.I also had some pool tricks that got me a few odd dollars here and there. I doubt I could do many of them anymore though. I once did one with my grandsons watching and reached an entirely new level of respect from them. I also target shoot. One would think my husband would be a whole lot nicer to me would not one????
I am so sorry about all your ills as a child. It must have been equally hard on your parents. Something about watching your child hurt and not being able to do anything about it wrenches a heart. Turning blue and it scared your husband? Is that why he is now an ex?It would scare mine too. He would be scared that his next meal would be served late. Honestly, I have been in the middle of a gall bladder attack, hanging onto the kitchen counter, sweat pouring down my face and he was kind enough to wait until it was over before asking when dinner was going to be. See, you all thought he was totally heartless.
I use my peak flow meter just to see how much trouble I am in and to try to catch it before it becomes really bad. I get to blow out birthday candles on the computer tomorrow. Why does that cost so much??
My grandson helped me change the batteries in the smoke detectors while he was here and did not ask me to pay him. WTG!!! I did take him to the pizza buffet for lunch though.

You target shoot too???? Yeah, I would definately think your husband should be on his toes...just a wee bit!
My ex-husband was a total butthead! I married at 19 and divorced him at 21! I consider that marriage a learning experience! I dated him pretty much all through high school, but once we got married I realized that he had "mommy" issues..and I just couldn't compete with her! He was also a lying, cheatin SOB, and I caught him red handed....caught him on a Thursday night, and I had divorce papers filed by 10:00 Friday morning! It was a good out for what had turned out to be a disaster of a marriage! I waited almost 20 years to tie the knot again after that!
the day away!!!
One more thing off my list of things to do. I even got home well before dh was awake. Hard life, poor man. 
How is your mom doing this week? How much longer until the treatments are over? 
I have to give me mom alot of credit, I don't know if I would have held up as well as she is, if it was me! She's just taking everything in stride, I had to laugh at her this morning....I walked in with Kellie just as she was getting ready to have her breakfast this morning. She was complaining that she had to wait 2 more days before she could drink coffee or have juice for breakfast again - more before and after chemo treatment no no's! 
And I'm in 2 of them as of right now! Years ago, I was in two weddings in one weekend and one of them was my cousin's in upstate NY..like an 8 hour drive!
