  1. The intermittant rain kept me from swimming today so i relaxed at home for a change. Then my daughter and i went out for a delicious Japanese dinner. She had Hibachi (grilled) shrimp and chicken with rice/veggies soup and salad. I had shrimp and vegetable tempura. Hoping to get to bed early tonight, for a change....
  2. VH1 Classic is playing Beatles documentaries all night. Great fun showing my daughter the boys (she's a fan at four)!
  3. An all girls day out! Spent the day with my sister, daughter and nieces at the lake. We all went into the water (up to our knees) had a picnic and did some hiking. Then we had dinner out together and went to the mall. First day off i didn't spend at the swim club, but tomorrows another day
  4. You're welcome. Sounds like a great idea. Your son is very smart, so he will soon see the truth (plus in the next couple of years he will mature and make his own decisions). Her actions will come back to haunt her.... but for now, take care of you first, but don't give up on your son, either!
  5. You're welcome! I hope all goes well
  6. Sorry to hear this terrible news, Charlie. So sad when a parent brainwashs their child against the other. I hope you won't let her get away with this. Once you get finished with your treatments you will be ready to fight. In the meantime, i hope you keep up your strong, positive attitude. One day your son will see what she has done.
  7. Good advice from slave to zep on Hypothyroidism. Very common, especially in women. If you haven't had a visit to an Endocrinologist (as opposed to a General Practicioner) i would suggest you find a good one. As for the family history of cancer, have you had Genetic testing done? Very important in your situation. Here's a link: http://www.cancer.net/patient/Learning+Abo...ith+Your+Family
  8. Slave to Zep, glad your condition isn't serious Dzldoc, glad you are in good spirits, hoping your next treatment will be easier to tolerate Happy i have gotten over the miserable cold/sinus infection i dealt with last week. Happy to have the week off (day 2). Enjoying the swim club, my daughter's theatre trip tomorrow should be fun for us, and more relaxing by the pool all week long. Purchased fresh fruit today, berries and melons and citrus! Can't wait to eat it. I will be sad to see summer end.
  9. Wild Horses... The Rolling Stones
  10. Face the Face.... Pete Townsend
  11. Great news Babs! Happy fatherhood to you! Just as a sidenote, you will need that drink very soon, lol. Babs, one day (when you have endured much exhaustion and the terrible twos, which don't end until around age 4 or 5).... you will see watching your child grow is incredible. Best to you and the mommy! Same old thing made me happy today, spending all day at the swim club. Today had the pleasure of my two nieces and one of my nephews joining us. Best of all, my daughter can now swim underwater! I first witnessed her doing this yesterday, and today she practiced. One of her swim instructors walked by and i asked him to watch. She jumped in the pool and then swam to me! He smiled so big and said awesome, great job! I could see he felt proud, too (since he has a soft spot for her, the adorable lifeguard she likes)
  12. Hi Charlie! Sorry to hear about the thrombocytopenia. Be careful you don't hurt yourself (you could bleed alot if you do). On the other hand, glad you are feeling good for a change! Great news about the CT Scan results! Keep up your strength, your fight is almost over! I will message you back soon!
  13. Such a horrible story. I'm so sorry to hear this Dzldoc. My thoughts are with you and your family. Such a senseless occurence.
  14. Hi Danny, thank you for the kind thoughts! I watched her suffer when she walked over the past year. I know her owners loved Gracie very much and they did what was best for her. I know she had a great life because her parents are really great people! Gracie touched my heart with her extreme gentle demeanor and friendliness.... but the fact that she touched my daughter's heart made me love her double! edit: thanks Virginia for your sentiments, too!
  15. thanks Fan_S and Slave to zep. I remember the first time i met Gracie (about five years ago). I pulled up to my house (had recently moved in) and as i opened the car door, there she was standing there. I didn't know who she belonged to until her owner finally came over and introduced himself. Gracie has been having chronic health problems for the past couple of years. She could barely walk when i saw her a couple days ago. I knew she would be leaving us soon. I'm so glad i knew a dog like her I have some great pics of Gracie and of my daughter and Gracie's mom walking her together.
  16. My neighbor's ultra friendly, gorgeous 16 year old dog Gracie, had to be put to sleep. My neighbor just told me today and this made me cry. Gracie looked like a Golden Retriever (she was a mix). My daughter has known her since she was a baby. Gracie used to bump into her with affection when my daughter was very young and often knocked her over, lol. She was always gentle with everyone. So sad. My neighbor (Irv) said tell your daughter Gracie is now with Tasha
  17. First rainy day in a while. Cloudy, mostly drizzle all day, but chance of thunderstorms. Temps in the low 70's but humid. Unfortunately, my daughter's swim lesson was cancelled. Good day to catch up on chores i guess. Can't lay in the sun EVERY day,
  18. I agree with you Del, and thought about adding that, but decided to leave that element out of my post. Unfortunately for this little girl, she has two selfish parents. The mother should be ashamed of herself for not putting her daughter first. There is no excuse in my mind to choose drugs over your child. The father, he should have found help, too. Very sad again. I truly hope there is some family that can take care of this child with love.
  19. What a terrible story. As others have wondered, i too wonder what will happen to that young child. I hope there is a family member who is healthy that will be able to raise her and provide for her sufficiently. Sad that her mom doesn't seem like she is in any condition to do so. How sad that your friend didn't have anyone to turn to. This story makes me think of how devastating the troubles are country is dealing with can be on human life. It also reminds me of how unfair life can be, in this case, to a very young person. I imagine this tragedy will haunt you for some time. We can certainly empathize with you.
  20. Eyes Without a Face.... Billy Idol
  21. Glad you are home again Charlie! You are so strong to go through so much! Always sending you best wishes:)
  22. Awesome! My sister has the tickets since she purchased them, and she says she needs to "find" where she put them. She better find them!!! Nice morning with my family and friends at my nephews 5th birthday party! Great time at the swim club. My daughter and i made new friends with a couple and their daughter who live just a block away! Got to see adorable Lifeguard Brad, my daughter's crush, but seems to be rubbing off on me a bit 19 is a man, right? Going down the shore early tomorrow morning... Ocean City, NJ... can't wait to lay on the beach, swim in the ocean, walk on the boards, and eat fresh Lobster! This summer has been great!
  23. Welcome To The Machine... Pink Floyd
  24. The swim club has chased away the winter blues, I wish i lived in a warmer climate where i could swim most of the year. Glad you enjoyed the link!
  25. I know how exciting watching that DVD will be! I cherish my daughter's recital DVD! I am hoping to see the recital i went to for my nieces (that was quite a production). My daughter will be attending their dance studio in September (the original owner has been in the business for 60 years)! Virginia, you might enjoy this link: http://www.kaysact2.com/ Good luck with the training. Just make sure you stay well hydrated in this heat. I enjoyed another great day at the swim club. Then watching my daughter at gymnastics (seeing her learn new skills and just having a blast). Then the 20 minute rain storm a half hour ago, that dropped some hail on us, made me happy. It was just really neat and although we got caught out in it, it was great!
