Good evening everyone, First and foremost Sandyand Barb you both are deep in my thoughts prayers and well wishes

Second, Kay did you start building an ark?

hello trica tk t i sure hope you are ok

hey vonnie renee fin

everybody else I hope you all have a good night

OK, I brought a pitcher of margaritas - sounds like we need them.

Sandy, I said a prayer for you for your additional tests - I'm hoping its the fibrocystic stuff. Mine are that way and they had to do extra films when I had my mammo. I also said one for Renee for her trip and one for Kay and the people in Belize dealing with the storms.

Barb - I'm so glad your polyp was caught in time. Reminds me that I really need to listen to my doc and get that test done - I'm only 38, but there is family history. My mom died at age 60 because she never had the test done. If she had regular screening starting at 50, she would probably still be alive.

I'm kind of struggling here right now. My 8 year old is really testing me and I don't have the energy for it. I've also lost total control of all the paperwork, scheduling, etc. that I used to just handle. I can't keep track of the smallest things anymore. I was so cranky today and just really wanted to run away from it all.

As difficult as this trip this weekend is going to be, in a way it sounds like relief from being here! Then, I really think about it and know that I don't want to go flying across the country and then driving 4 hours on top of that all to go and work my butt off packing and dealing with some family issues that could either go fine or be brutally unpleasant. I'm really uncertain what is going to happen, but I'm going to lean on my faith and trust God to protect us.

Well, it's beyond bed time for me.

Hang in there everyone. I really hope I didn't forget to pray for anyone that needs it. I guess I will also just do a general prayer for the forum friends here who need God's protection and strength.

The margarita pitcher is magic and keeps refilling itself automatically, so drink up!!

Prayers are being said for you Sandy & Barb for good test results!

1/3 of my 6 acres is under water, but we're all doing okay.

thank the Lord.

the folks I worry about are south of me...

it's badly flooded, the bridges are out, the roads out, and food is running out...

see, in this teensy-tiny country, there's only ONE main north-south PAVED road through the jungle, and here's what's happened to it:


the Kendall Bridge, wiped out completely


the Hummingbird Highway, split across the road.

the Belize Red Cross is desperate for donations, they need clothes, diapers and food:

Oh My! I think that magaritas are in order. It seems it's been crazy for all of us.

It's supposed to rain all day here, so trying to come up with an indoor project to get started on. LOL, I need to choose just one. There is a ton I could do.

I hope and pray everyone's ok today.

Kay~ Gotta tell you, I'm really enjoying your pics and info of your country. It's so interesting, all except those black flies. Those things are yucky!...

A friend of mine went to Belize many yrs ago w/Heifer Int'l. He is a photographer and his pics were spectacular. *yours aren't too shabby either.*

Hello everyone and have a good day.... there's a storm brewing here in IL.

morning Daisy, just saw it on weather . com gonna be an interesting day here, hang on to those umbrellas

everyone i hope you all have a safe and fun day

I spoke to Renee this morning, 1:15am my time. She was having horrible spasms and didn't know if she should call an ambulance. I talked her through things and she finally relented and called an ambulance. She was having clonic spasms and they gave her morphine and other muscle meds. She was resting this morning around 8am my time. They still plan to drive later after she gets some rest. I think they should wait but mom and dad need to get back to their house. I honestly think the stress and physical work is taking it's toll on Renee. Please keep her in your prayers that they have a safe trip back to Arkansas.

oh, NaeNae !!

that's rough, right when you gotta DO stuff, MS rears its ugly head.

sending you cool soothing blue waves of healing calm energy.

and prayers too, natch.



bring a little ice chest on the road, with a couple of ice-packs, sometimes that helps stop the leg cramps...

but don't leave 'em on too long, just a few minutes.

and keep your legs positioned so they won't cramp... bring extra pillows.

love and hugs, K

Rain here today, looks like some bad storms brewing. My youngest is in Champaign where some bad ones are going through and coming. Jim and Chris are going with me for my test today.
