Thanks ya guys, I am still worried, I have been watching her like a hawk. I was hoping,and praying she would never have one like that again. The longest she was ever in one was about a hr. She had to go to the Er and get valuim in IV-- Like I said she never had one that bad for 20 years. God I pray she won't start having them again. They say every time she has a siezure she has more brain damage.It is called Lennox Gaustaut Syndrome. I noticed she has been more giggley lately, one sign on her of two much brain activity.

On a lighter note mommyof1 Erin has three teeth now, has she bit ya yet.
Saphire minx glad to see ya back, Do ya have a literary agent yet, I am just now starting to pitch my novel to them, My God they are so many and ya have to watch which ones are lajid

susie, mary ann thanks it scared me, and I still am. I want to set an bawl. I cain't take it when something is wrong with my angel.
Everyone I'll try and get on here every now and then, probably about this time, actually earlier, cause I have to go now and give her her seizure meds. I am trying to keep them on time, Take care all, God bless, Love ya auntiep

goodmorning everyone! well i just looked out the window and saw it was raining hard into our pool. of corse maddie and raggs were standing on the deck waiting for me to let them in, both soaked. maddie will bark if she thinks she hears a piece of grass blow yet she will stand in the rain and wait on me to figure out it is raining. ahhh, another grand day here at flat branch farm! of course now she wants on the couch to snuggle down and she can forget it. i keep alot of covers on the couch but she is not getting up there wet! it rained and stormed all day yesterday and it looks like it will again today. if i suddenly drop off it will be because i had to unplug everything.

everything went well at doctors. he had to take out alittle more than anticipated because it had gone into the tissue in 1 1/2 weeks. we knew the mole was malignant but we don't know anything about the tissue. he said we would know in 10 days. (why is it always about a long wait?)

it is so good seeing more mias coming home. i can't wait for school to start cause i think everyone will have time to post more.

gals, yesterday on cnn i saw a piece how the airlines are starting to charge (in this case $100.00) our soilders going over to the war zone extra for a 3rd bag. they have always allowed them to have 2 bags free as long as they were within the weight limit. many of our military men fly commercial until they get to a base on the east coast. i feel like this is horrible (so does the veteran affairs office). they are going to put their life on the lines so our airplanes can hopefully fly free from constant worry of a 911 happening again or such. my son in law had to take 4 bags when he left and they were filled with gear that he needed to be totally "outfitted" right. the army does not give them everything they need. they have to supply alot of stuff. i am talking gear, not food or frivilish things.
If you feel the same please let your voice be herd inn some way. i wonder if they would charge extra for the caskets that they may have to carry one day. american airlines was the one this soilder had to deal with, but VA said others are following suit.sorry to use this site regarding this but i was really upset about this. mommy, you might want to mention this on your site, i will try to make it over there today if not.

okay i am going to stop now and get my pickle and pear emails out. yall have a great AMERICAN day!! waves and kisses to our soilders!

love,

raggs

Good morning,Raggs,Mommie,Roe and everyone!

It's a dreary, drizzly day here in Bristol. I just heard that New York is getting downpours, too. Better to get it over before the weekend starts.

Raggs, glad to see you here this morning. So Maddie and little Raggs are wet and in trouble this morning, huh?
I can just see them sneaking around, trying to get on that comfortable couch when you're not looking. Too funny!

Mommie, Erin's really going to town on this teething business! She'll be eating corn-on-the-cob before long!
Are they coming in on both the top and bottom? Wait til the first time she bites her own finger and howls. They look so surprised when that happens. I still remember my brother doing it. He's 50 yrs.old now and would kill me for telling that story on-line.

Roe, I'm sorry you've got a rainy day today, along with Mother Nature's 'gift' to contend with, and having to keep the kids entertained AND a hubby who's under the weather. God bless you! I'm sending extra prayers your way that you'll keep your sanity and not KILL anybody today!

Dmom, hang in there and keep your sunny side up. Better days are coming! Hold that thought!

Cali, did you run off to East Sidalia or something?? Haven't heard much from You lately. We sure notice it when you're not here. MISS YOU!

Auntiep..hope Sarah's doing better this morning.

Susie Q...You sound as busy as ever. Has your 'lawn guy' been around? You haven't mentioned him lately. We need a good 'shirtless' story.

LMA, did you take any pics of little Nick on his birthday? We need to see how big he's gotten.

Rock..Are you in East Sidalia with Cali??? It's been TOO long since we heard from YOU!

Everyone else I didn't mention by name, you're still in my thoughts and prayers.
Hope you ALL enjoy your day.

I'll try to check back later.

Love, M.A.

Good morning ladies. I am having a lousy morning but I am hoping it will get better. I sent Michael to gymnastics today, it officially ended but I asked if he could go today because yesterday he was so good at his routine was so good and I was so proud of him, he was all hyped up so he went again today. I just have the biggest pain home, my youngest but he's playing video games. I really have to clean the house today so I will see if I can come on later. I am suppose to go see Mama Mia tonight at 7:15pm. Talk to you all later.

Hey Mary Ann ~~~~ HEHEHEHEHE! I haven't had a 'shirtless' lawn guy to brag about the past several mowings. Jeff's business has tripled, (I wonder WHY? ), since the beginning of Summer, so he has 2 guys helping him now. They get the job done, but took the JOY out of watching! hehehe
I envy all you gals getting so much RAIN! It gets close to us, than passes us by! We get the thunder and lightning, it gets all dark and cloudy, and then SWOSH, 5 minutes of rain and it's gone! At least the temps are a little cooler! hehehe
Hey Raggs ~~~~~ I hated to hear the Cancer had gotten into the tissue. I'm thinking positive that your doctor was able to catch it before it was able to spread any further. I put it into our Lord's hands and BELIEVE HE will take care of you. I'm a walking, talking example of the miracles Our Lord, keeping a positive attitude, the loving care of family and friends, and modern medicine can perform today! So, no matter what the biopsy report comes back as, you're going to be fine! I love You.
On a lighter note, let me recount Sammy's first day at Kindergarten! Lori said he did good at first. He was excited to see all the kids and was making the rounds socializing. Then when it was time to sit down and start the day, Sammy decided he wasn't staying! His teacher asked him why he didn't want to stay. He said, 'I'm just visiting today! I'm going back to my Nana's tomorrow!' hehehe It took some convincing on both Lori and the teachers part, but Sammy finally accepted he wasn't just visiting. Lori said he's been giving them 'heck' all week. He says he hates school!!! Lori said if this is indicative of what to expect the next 12 years, she's going to need a big bottle of Valium to get her through! hehehe I told her she might want to have him tested for ADHD! Sammy is really smart, but he's so hyper he can't sit still 5 minutes. I don't think medicating him is the answer, but, if they're aware of ADHD there are ways to channel all that hyperness into learning. When you're not aware of a problem it's so easy to get frustrated w/ a child's behavior and overlook the cause. So many kids fall through the cracks when a behavior problem is not recognised at an early age and don't get help. I don't want Sammy to be one of them.
Gotta' run for now. I hope you all have a blessed day. I'll check back in later. Love Ya's, Susie

Hhrumph...sigh...YAWN. OK, OK,
I'm getting up! Ohhhh, I have got to stop watching these Olympics so late, or should I say EARLY! I didn't go to bed until after 2:30AM this morning. And, the first thing I did at 7AM was turn on the Today Show for MORE!! I am totally addicted. Just had two cups of coffee and it's not doing anything for me.

Hope everyone has a good day.
I've got to catch a little more shut-eye or I'll never make it through the day.

Are we dispensing with GNO until after the games? Only a few have been showing up and not staying long. I'm guilty of being one of them. Tonight is a big one for Michael Phelps so I HAVE to watch. I also want to watch Dara Torres swim. I know Roe's been waiting for Track and Field and they start today.

Whatever you're all doing today, hope it goes well.

Love, M.A.

Well, the day just keeps getting even louser for me. I am not speaking to my husband, haven't really since yesterday and he's on vacation all next week, great, just what I need. Don't get me wrong, I love him and we will be maried next weekend 12yrs but in all that time, he still doesn't know me. I was really upset yesterday and you think he calls or trys to make me feel better? He just makes it worse. I went to see Mama Mia last night with my mom and girlfriend, the movie was great, just what I needed and my mom loved it too. We went in this huge thunderstorm but when we got there, there were alot of people wanting to go see a movie too. Anyway, I got home, thought maybe there would be flowers to cheer me up? No, thought maybe he would tell me he loves me? No, nothing. I went into my room, put the olympics on and was at least somewhat happy that Michael Phelps won another medal. Don't know what happened but during the night he woke me up, I was in lala land and he started in with me, not physically but mentally and I don't remember what exactly I said but he said something and I responded and something about him being 100% useless and now we are not talking. All I needed was some words of encouragement yesterday even don't worry, all will be ok and I love you but nothing.When things are bothering him, I sit, talk with him, tell him all will be ok but nothing from him. I run and do everything for him, the kids, his mother but when it comes to me, I am always on the backburner.So, I let myself down and that's the worse thing in the world to feel is when you let yourself down and I did so now I am the only one who can pick myself up, start over and do what I have to do. As I know now, I will not get any help from him. Sometimes he thinks that I have all this strength so he doesn't have to worry, Roseann can handle anything thrown at her and maybe I can but sometimes I fall too and need a hand to be picked up but now I know, I have to pick myself up when things don't go right for me.

I just wanted to pop in and say Hi.Ive had alleriga problems. andI have beentrying to help this woman.and make money.still waiting on my car ,which is ok cause Im scared to drive it they are replacing my motor.cause I dont want to hit any one.

thank you for the emails, I will be in & out

Thanks Alfie, love the picture of the rose. Actually, I thought I called him a looser instead it was worse, I called him a piece of sh#t more than once. I don't remember but he said I said it and he won't forgive me. Oh well, another thing we have to get through. Anyway, hope all my east coast friends are ok, we are having a huge storm brewing, Manhatten is pinch black but the sun was shinning here in Staten Island. It's now starting to rain and it's almost 7pm. Weird weather the same thing we had last night. Anyway, be safe. I won't be on for GNO maybe next Friday. Have a good weekend if I don't speak with all of you.

Good grief! Morning's here already?? It seems like I just went to sleep. OH, I DID!
Silly me! I might as well give
in to it. These Olympics have taken me over, along with the rest of the things that I already had scheduled.

I came over here a couple of times last night to see if any of you were here for GNO but nobody was. So, I sipped my drink while I watched the
'Big O'.

Yesterday was my sister's birthday. She had to work, but, her husband and daughter had some 'top secret'
plans made for her for last night. Can't wait to hear what they were. Her husband had already given her one of her gifts before she went to work...tickets to see Celine Dion in October! Too cool!

Got to get the coffee on. It's 8AM and you-know-who will be popping in any minute. Boy, do I need that jolt of java! Better make it extra strong this morning.

Hope you all have a great weekend! It's sunny, so far here. We had our heavy T'Storms go through last night.

Roe, by the way, there's been a FULL MOON this week, on top of your visit from Mother Nature. No wonder you've been in 'crazy mode'! It all ganged up on you! You didn't stand a chance! Just take a deep breath and hang on. It will soon pass and you'll be back on an even keel. Give Mike a hug this morning and be the first to say, "I'm sorry." Men don't understand about our hormonal surges.
They just think we're being 'beotches'. We have to explain it to them. It really can take us over and make us seem 'possessed'.

Well, that's enough advice from Doctor M.A.this morning.

Love to all!

M.A.

Good morning Dr. M.A ~~~~~ I also came on last night and even wrote this long comment in between sipping on my Cranberry juice and vodka. Obviously.....I sipped more than I typed! ...... cause when it came time to post it just vanished into thin air! SWOSH! hehehe I took that as a sign that what I typed wasn't important enough to post, and went to bed! hehehe I loved your advice to Roe. Alfie gave her some good advice too! hehehe I pray today is a better day for her. You're right about the Full Moon Madness that effects us each month. Gotta' run for now. I hope all have a blessed day. Mine is going to be full of errands and stuff. Typical Saturday! I love Ya's, Susie

~~ WARNING, WARNING, WILL ROBINSON (and ROE)!! ~~

I just read the following news. It explains a LOT!!
..............................

"A partial lunar eclipse will take place today, Aug.16th.

Eclipses are like big exclamation points and, since
this eclipse is in Aquarius, a
sign that is focused on the workings of the larger group, or community, EXPECT CONFUSING LEADERSHIP SITUATIONS, POWER STRUGGLES AND SHARP WORDS.

In addition to the HEIGHTENED
EMOTIONS of this Full Moon, an
active pattern of planetary aspects also adds DRAMA to this eclipse."
..............................

So, there you have it, gals!
You're NOT going crazy! Trust me! I'm a 'moon child' born under Cancer and I'm always affected by the Full Moon.
We just happen to be getting a
double dose this time. Relax.
Put some extra ice and booze in your drink and it will all be over soon.

Love ya!!
M.A.
