thank you mrsc, It is wrong what he does. especially offering to put my step-fathers ashes in there. (open it back up) pretty sure that is tampering with a corpse. No pips, rocking, nothing this morning. starting to wonder if they will. this is the start of day 20 . I am not feeling good again.arthritis is a bugger. my back is the worst i guess. when i was sick in the hospital this last time. i really dont know what it was. if they said i have forgotten but the skin on the bottom of my feet is peeling off in very thick layers. I seen this once before in my son. he had undiagnoised strep that turned into scarlet fever despite trips to the er and drs. my friends kids had strep not to long ago. I dont remember a sore throat though. My daughter goes in to surgery tomorrow it will be the second one with this crones. I wish so much i could be with her. I feel a great need to hold her hand. her oldest son (15) will be taking the time off school to care for his 5 brothers. I know that sounds terrible but believe me, he is very capable.they are being tossed from their rental home this month too . so as soon as she is able to travel i do believe i am to have a house full. i dont know how we will survive 6 kids but we will. oh well, life right ? is anyone else having problems with this site as far as freezing or running very slow ? its being a snail for me. other sites are not.
