It's awesome to see how well your daughter has done. Really Cool!! You have every right to be one proud mama.
did you notice the A+ grade in Neuroscience?

maybe it's because she went with me to neuro appts for 15 yrs... so she has a working knowledge in the field ??

I guess this is where I congratulate you...

it sort of put it in black and white, and meant that I had to *accept* it.

it was a bitter pill to swallow.



we're here for you Frank!

I feel soooooo rich!

but the COLA is rigged, mah deah...

they eliminated the costs of FOOD and FUEL from the cost of LIVING, which is ridiculous, because at THIS income level, THOSE are our two biggest expenses (after rent or mortgage.)

where's the head-banging-on-a-wall emoticon when I need it?

Howdy folks, Sorry I've been missing in action. I checked in and read some the last week, but was not up to posting.

My father-in-law died on Jan 20. What a battle that dear man fought the last 6 years. The last chemo drug they tried him on caused a mess. He developed an aggressive form of leukemia that there is no treatment for. He died 3 weeks from the day they discovered it.

We're back home and I of course come home with some "bug". So I've been laying low, sipping soup and sleeping.

TKTC, I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so hard to watch a loved one suffer. Please take care of yourself....it's easy to get sick when you're tired and run down.
