You can't start another one? Oh, that's wrong. I may not agree with your politics, but I surely do think you should have your thread back.

I'm sorry this happened to you because of some inconsiderate posters (not accusing anyone in particular as I haven't gone to that thread, but normally threads are deleted because of inconsiderate posts).

I'm so glad that we have this thread and think you should have your own thread too. It kind of gives you a safe place to talk with like minded people. I think we ALL need that.

Sorry this happened.

Akhenaten, you've been a respectful guest here before, I think you're fine to answer a quick question here. I'm sorry that happened to you guys because of (I assume) a few people who got out of hand. I hope you guys can get an answer on whether you can restart. I noticed one of your old threads bumped up and haven't seen it poof yet, so maybe that answers the question.

I was searching Google for a nice cake for you and found this. I LOVE IT!

The groom's little claw marks in the frosting are priceless!

Did somebody say cake?

My practical side and my impractical side are at war regarding the 4 for 7 deal. The winner has yet to be determined!

I just have to share this. I lead a mom's group that has about 75 moms. In the last few weeks, we have had about six families whose husband's have lost their jobs. Since most of us are SAHM or work PT, this has been really hard. We keep a small food pantry, but it I emptied it out earlier this week when two families called and needed help. The other leader and I sent out an email asking for help replenishing our pantry. The response at our meeting today was just overwhelming. We received tons of food and houshold items, and one mom brought $75 worth of grocery gift cards for us to give to the families that needed it most. We had several moms who were in tears today as they took boxes and bags of food home. One mom, whose husband and she both work but still struggle, came up to me and let me know that her pantry was completely bare. She cried as we helped her fill her car up with groceries. After I came home, I have had several women call me to say that they have some money set aside and want to use it to help women in our group. I am not a crying person, but I have been in tears all afternoon because of all the kindness and generosity I saw exhibited today. I just wanted to share with everyone.

As the leader of your group, you should call your local paper and tell them this story (the features editor). An article would probably get a lot of donations pouring in for your group, probably even from some grocery stores.

I sincerely hope you all are permitted to open up a new thread or keep the Liberal thread going.

Hey guys, did the Obama/Ohana thread get deleted? It seems to be…missing. If so, we'd better be super extra careful commenting in this one. I was appalled by some of what I saw over there, but I didn't report anything. Let's be very, very careful. Let's talk about the weather. It's cold.

It's 48 here, not raining yet but wait five minutes.

Hey y'all. I'm just curious if anyone knows what happened to the Obama thread? Not trying to start a fight or anything. I know some of ya hate when we come into your space, so I'm not trying to start anything. Just wondering where the thread went. Thanks!

I don't know.
While I don't agree with the politics so I never lurk there, I hope you guys can start another thread soon.

 

[akhenaten]

Thanks guys...
I am sure we will be able to get together in some other way...


Meghansmommy .. how is your sister?

I have been thinking about her....

Thanks for asking.

She's not doing very well. She's having several relapses a day. She still has her double vision, her eyes droop and her speech gets slurred. She also can't grasp things. Of course, it's not all of the time, so she'll be fine one minute, and then the next she'll have all of the symptoms. She's a teacher, so she's worried about this affecting her job. They are playing with her meds to see if they can make things better for her.

Thanks again for asking.

 

[Michelle67]

I'm sorry to hear that, MM. Hugs and prayers.

NO. Nonononononono. I've been to Disneyland Paris; got engaged there, as a matter of fact. And don't sigh over "how romantic", either, engaged in Paris. We were on the Disney train sitting next to the hairy-leggiest 10 year old girl I've ever seen and he just nonchalantly asked and I was like, 'yeah, okay'. (He used to get down on one knee and say, "Will you....wait while I tie my shoe?" "Will you...scratch my back?" "Will you..." you get the idea. )
The Disney magic just really isn't there. It wasn't Disney to me. I grew up in FL and went to WDW a lot; Paris just isn't the same. Hard to explain.

Thanks for the update. I was so hoping things were getting better for her! I hope they can find a way to control this with her meds.

I am so sorry that she is still having problems. Do they have a diagnosis yet?

Myasthenia Gravis (I may have spelled it wrong).
