I don't know about any of you on the east coast- but we in Pacific NW are supposed to be getting a cold front in on wedesday. {teens and 20s for 4 days or so}
so we get to prepare for that- i don't know yet if it will be a dry cold or snow or even worse ICE.
I guess they will firm up the forecast in a day or 2.

I have to say I am thankful that us here in Ontario.....Toronto area are having an easy time of it so far touch wood......lol I hope it stays this way My Dad is still out golfing for gooodness sakes!!!! Hope it stays warm!!!!! Sorry to ya'll in Denver you have my heart and best of luck and NO shoveling!!!!!

love Victoria

am back again from my very short holidays. How good it was to have some days free - I slept long in the morning and enjoyed the days: one day I spent at a spa, I went to the cinema and to the theater,.....

I had my birthday some days ago and I my mom and my BF organized a wonderful day for me - this was very nice!

My best wishes for this day, today!
Barbara

Today I ......
....... must say I am envious of Victoria of her time in the warmth, though not of her returning high pain levels. I do not think the A N A L word is a problem nor see anyone taking offensive to it, especially when used in correct context to the situation at hand !

...... welcome Barb back from her holiday, and pass along to her a happy belated B-day!

...... Jo, regardless snow rain, ice and cold think we are all bothered by this nasty weather. Fortunately monetarily (heating bill) we have been quite fortunate here in the N East with record highs, though 85 and sunny sounds good on a white beach. Hopefully you make it past the bad weather quickly!

..... I am just about to get ready for a hearing for child support... it is that I have ever denied paying for my chldren and to add have always paid beyond what was stated, though now that I have been without a pay in over 1 1/2 years, I just do not know what tod do! Hopefully the hearaing officer will be somewhat understanding, though may be heading off to jail <UMPH>

..... Pass along to all my hopes that the weather treat one and all well and that pain levels remain low !!!

Want to wish Mark LOTS of Luck and Prayers that the hearing officer will find understanding in your situation and see the Love that you have for your children.. Stressful times sure can make pain levels higher then normal.. So I hope that you are able to find a few relaxing moments in the day to unwind and relax..

Here is a warm Hello to all my TOS family and wishing everyone a low pain week if not a pain free one..

((Gentle Hugs))

T-minus 16 days

am back at the forum - had a gastro-enteritis (as hundreds of others have actually)and I can tell you how good it is when it is over. Still little cramps in the stomac from time to time but this is nothing!!!

So wish you all a good day - without pain or other problems!

Today I am very excited because David Beckham has signed to come and play with the LA Galaxy. It is a great day for soccer in the United States.

Too bad it's such a lousy day for my arms. I don't know how I am going to make it through work today.

Here's here's to everyone getting some news as happy as that.

Barb,

Happy Belated Birthday

I'm late wishing you a happy birthday too, Barbara, but I'm glad you had a great day! What kind of plans did your mother and boyfriend have for your special day?
