I finally am feeling like I'll live..*grin. The sun is out and I took a shower, changed the sheets...thot if the perimedics had to come we'd look clean.

The moi's are very much on our minds today...lot's of positive thoughts and prayers going out their way. Abbie I thought your wonders were most excellent! I do wish your friends would contact you.

Doody do you have any ice and snow to try those grippers out on? Ours is all gone....although the river is flooding in several places...not near us.
*whisper...Waves is a friend from the BP forum!

KathyM your good friend is very much on my mind...radiation is no picnic although we've seen it work wonders on friends of ours.

Wren I just love the emails you share with me...often the only laugh I had that day...*grin Thank you.

If this was a wonder thread I'd wonder how BJ's interview went...

And goofy....how are you feeling? And Bizi thank you for chatting last night and for the hugs.

Tena! You finally wondered. LOLOL

Thank you Alffe...
They're not really good... just random ramblings as I try to figure out which way is up.

i had a dental appt today... i'm in pain as the tooth was half gone. my dentist said i'd need a crown in the future, but even closer i'd need a root canal done on it... today he made me half a tooth with the silver stuff LOL (almalgam) whatever its called... he said the nerve wasn't exposed but almost.. ANYWAY we'll see what happens... i also found out one of my aunts in california has been given maybe a year to live. she has cancer on her liver, in her intestines, and colon... she's very angry and bitter. what do you say to a person who has been told to get her affairs settled? There's a lot more to the story, as she wants to divorce my uncle so he cant have any of the money she inherited when her mom died. She wants all the money to go to her kids. Her and my uncle have seperate bank accounts. anyway there is alot more to the story.
i'll hush.....

How very sad that $$ is what's on your aunts mind with the limited amt. of time she has left. I would think she'd want to spend that time telling her family how much she loved them, and how thankful she was to have had them in her life and to ask forgiveness. I pray she gets enough time to get her priorities straightened out. Perhaps she can give them monitary gifts of her money while she's still alive. I so sorry. ((Goofy))) Also sorry about your tooth! Hope the temp. repair holds.

I'm going to venture out today!! Slept the entire night in my own bed, without coughing! I need to get a haircut (I look like a basketball) and get my glasses adjusted (sliding down my nose). Mr.Alffe just told me I look pale.. Now that I feel better he tells me that??? His answer was, You weren't well enough to hear it before.

Everybody try to stay out of trouble today!

What's on your plate?

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Jane Hambleton has dubbed herself the "meanest mom on the planet."

After finding alcohol in her son's car, she decided to sell the car and share her 19-year-old's misdeed with everyone -- by placing an ad in the local newspaper.

The ad reads: "OLDS 1999 Intrigue. Totally uncool parents who obviously don't love teenage son, selling his car. Only driven for three weeks before snoopy mom who needs to get a life found booze under front seat. $3,700/offer. Call meanest mom on the planet."

Hambleton has heard from people besides interested buyers since recently placing the ad in The Des Moines Register.

The 48-year-old from Fort Dodge says she has fielded more than 70 telephone calls from emergency room technicians, nurses, school counselors and even a Georgia man who wanted to congratulate her.

"The ad cost a fortune, but you know what? I'm telling people what happened here," Hambleton says. "I'm not just gonna put the car for resale when there's nothing wrong with it, except the driver made a dumb decision.

"It's overwhelming the number of calls I've gotten from people saying 'Thank you, it's nice to see a responsible parent.' So far there are no calls from anyone saying, 'You're really strict. You're real overboard, lady."'

The only critic is her son, who Hambleton says is "very, very unhappy" with the ad and claims the alcohol was left by a passenger.

Hambleton believes her son but has decided mercy isn't the best policy in this case. She says she set two rules when she bought the car at Thanksgiving: No booze, and always keep it locked.

The car has been sold, but Hambleton says she will continue the ad for another week -- just for the feedback.

I had such a reaction to this having lost an 8 year old grandson due to the hospital overdosing him with codine following a simple adnoidectomy. Both the adult and child doses were similarly pkged and kept in the same cupboard.
You can't help but wonder how often this happens.

(((((alffe)))))

probably more than ever gets reported.

Am meeting my sister for lunch down the road. Another grey day here but no snow. Goofy I hope your tooth isn't hurting. And Doody, I haven't been to church in ages to ask about the corn sack. Hopefully this Sunday.

Mr.Alffe called me shortly after leaving for an early breakf. meeting and said a cayote (spelling police needed!) ran in front of his car just down the road from us. We are used to seeing deer out here but this is thrilling...or maybe not.
So much growth out here the wildlife is being displaced.
