My leukemia's back.

Seen it on google. Just an amazing story. What a huge heart Caroline has. I will pray for her and her family's healing.

Ronott1, what kind of mint are you getting? Wish I would've known you wanted some. I have peppermint, orange mint, grapefruit mint, chocolate mint, Apple mint, lemon balm & bee balm. If you need some, let me know!

I had chocolate mint but it did not make it during the drought water restrictions this year. I like pineapple mint too.

It sounds like you have amazing mint at your place.

My heart is heavy...I cannot stop thinking of Caroline Raul and Blooie..

My memories are awakened of the endless times that I visited my Mum in Hospital...she spent a great time in Hospital throughout my life...she told me of children that she met who had what in those days was called Stills Disease..now Junior Arthritis...although my Mum was in great pain she could only talk of the unfortunate infants who were born with rheumatoid arthritis...it was difficult for me to understand that kids can be born with pain...how fortunate have I been that I had so many years of good health before the pain began for me...

To be born ill is so unacceptable...as an adult I can express my pain...a child cannot...

The Carolines and Blooies of this world are the most wonderful people...loving and caring for those kids that need...

I cannot say any more except to say thanks...I read the google link...

Prayers and thanks for people like you!

I spend my mornings reading "stories" of very ill children born before their time, born with things they never should have to deal with, or get cancer, trauma, etc. it can be very tough, and the whole time I know there are thousands of families dealing with hospitalized kids in similar situations every hour of every day.

I just read a sad case of a baby abandoned in a stairway due to spina bifida, club feet and developmental delay. Her adoptive parents were caring for her for the same surgery Kendra is having. What filled my heart with joy was reading that these parents have also adopted 6 other special needs children from all over the place, all with complicated medical needs. Just amazing.

The realization that there are such selfless people working to make these little lives better gives me hope.

Good morning!

Hbh, hope the transition to a work at home DH goes smoothly for everyone.

Morning, HB. Changes, big time afoot for you! Wishing you a smooth transition. Hope you find that perfect job that is the just-right break from home, just the right hours, just the right amount of mental stimulation without much stress, and that it provides the much needed financial reward.

Good morning!

Hbh, hope the transition to a work at home DH goes smoothly for everyone.

'Work at home' would not work for me - I am easily distracted. Squirrel!

I was able to retire several years before the Princess. As she prepared to retire, I told her to stay out of MY kitchen and to always remember that I already have a shadow. Didn't have to worry about the first, and I have been trying to catch up to her ever since.

I could work at home. As long as I can spend time on BYC and games. And can take a nap whenever I want.

Oh sure, work at home sounds just right for me, lol.

Quote: My husband and I always worked together but separately. I was in one greenhouse doing stuff, and he was usually in a hole somewhere fixing stuff.
It worked out fine.
Then during the recession he needed to work for income at another nursery, while I worked to keep his nursery alive- but not necessarily make any money to pay bills with (His ego could not accept defeat), and when we were home together I wanted to rip off his head and scream down his neck to' back off and give me some space!'
I could not turn around without him being RIGHT THERE.
Every drawer I needed to open, he was leaning against.
Every doorway I need to get through, he was lingering in.

I am glad he has adjusted and has gotten over his insecurities because I was about to lose it.

He would then say,"But I miss you." so snapping would have been in bad form.
