The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 8

[Steffy]

Chuck's results are back. Negative for lupus, lyme disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. However, they did find some kind of imflammatory joint disease but don't know what. Chuck has an appointment with a specialist in Green Bay now on June 21st to have more tests.

Oh my. Chuck.

I sure hope whatever it is has a painless cure!!

You know, that anti-fanny pack "lady" is really getting to me. No self-esteem???? I'd like to tell her that when my husband died way before his time he left very little life insurance, and we had a lot of bills, including a mortgage that I couldn't pay on my own. I had to go bankrupt and start from scratch. I now own my own home - it's a mobile home, so I suppose she'd call me "trailer trash." However, it's got three bedrooms, two full baths, was brand new when I bought it 3-1/2 years go, and it is PAID FOR. I didn't work until my son was 16. I started out as a temp and worked my way up to legal secretary. I took the civil service test and came out number 1 in my county. I ended up as secretary to two different New York State Supreme Court Justices until their respective retirements. I am now a legal assistant in the commercial litigation department of one of the oldest and largest and most respected law firms in the Hudson Valley. I have two wonderful children and three grandchildren. I pay my bills, travel and enjoy my life. Do you think I lack self-esteem because I wear a fanny pack at Disney World? I have never heard anything so absurd. I think perhaps it's the other way around - SHE lacks self esteem and needs material things to make her feel good about herself. I really felt like posting all of this on that thread, but I think it's better to let that one die away. Thanks for letting me vent here.

This will make Paula post!!!!!!!!!!! Paula sent my kids a HUGE, GIGANTIC, ENORMOUS SSP filled with so much it blows my mind. John and I decided to divvy it out a little at a time, and they'll get most of it for their b'day this month from Miss Paula.

But, we gave them one thing this week when Rees went to the hospital. THEY LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!! Look how adorable the pillowcases are. I can't thank Paula enough for her generosity and thoughtfulness. What an awesome woman!

And, no, I did not use a stapler to attach the pillows to the kids...

WOW!!! That is so wonderful!! The pillowcases are just awesome!!!

June, that's exactly why I didn't post again on the other thread. I think that she lacks in self-esteem and looking down on others is the way she compensates for it. I truly feel sorry for her because I don't think that she will ever truly enjoy life with that kind of outlook. Can you imagine going through life that way? Not me! I'll take my fanny pack, matching shirt, airwalk wearing life over hers any day!!!!!

Oh yeah, I also meant to comment on what an awesome lady you are to go through all that and come out with the fantastic attitude that you have. It shows true character. I'm proud to know you!

I thank you all for the pixie dust. Becky passed her drivers license and is now a licensed State of Michigan driver. Of course, it wasn't as smooth sailing as it could have been. I asked her the other day about her Level 1 Learner's Permit and her Level 2 Certificate of Completion. She tells me both are in her purse. Now mind you, if Becky has to hang onto something important, she is very responsible and can be trusted to have it.

So, 2 hours before her test, we are going to leave and do some more practicing in a parking lot in town. Before we leave the house, I ask to see the documents. Guess what! She doesn't have her learners permit - she has her level 1 certificate of completion. Heaven forbid! We end up at the Secretary of State to get proof that she has had her learners permit for more than 6 months. Of course, we are talking the secretary of state shortly after the lunch hour. The wait is 45 minutes to an hour. So much for practice time. She gets herself all worked up and screws up the parking test and ends up crying. She passed it but just barely according to the tester. She then did her road test and passed. Thank goodness that is all over. I'm going upstairs to have a drink!!!!!

YAY Becky..
