Congrats tim! I am sure it was well deserved!

Crazy phone put a text here!

Ciao bellas

Naps are good, but usually mess up my sleep patterns. Good morning everyone. Hope your appointment was productive Thorn.

And Gary should know!

Good morning all. We understand that Mike. But if you enjoy your work it can make getting up much easier. I take safety very seriously when teaching, but still enjoy it.

Thank you! Why do I get the feeling that momma is the one you have to be most careful of?

Lol would be a piece for the box, a piece for me. Two for the box, one, two for me. Not good since I am a type Ii. Are they all walking mountains? Or would you stand a chance against some of them? Me too please? I promise not to eat too much!

Lol he's adorable! Is he part golden retriever?

Now. see, that 40* shift is what gets me! One end or the other I can handle, its the huge swings that get my joints!

Why am I now picturing Bugs Bunny sinking into a pot of hot water?

Around here they get chipped and sold for mulching. Smells great! My uncle grew trees for resale. We harvested over Thanksgiving weekend, making them the "freshest" out there unless you cut it yourself, we planted two trees for every one harvested, and the university he worked for ran a recycling program to pick up and chip the trees then distribute the mulch. Also, you usually do not harvest the trees until they are 7 yrs old minimum, and thats 7 years of oxygen production under it's belt!

While there are times when could see death as preferable to the alternative, I am not strong enough to stand by and let it happen

I shared so you know I have seen both sides, and you wrote both wonderfully.

I had to think about this one all afternoon before I could comment. I feel for both Tommy and Tarek. I know what it is like to wonder if going on is worth it. When I was first diagnosed with cancer all I wanted to do was curl in a ball and cry. Mid chemo I wanted to just stop and enjoy any time I had left. Mid radiation I was in pain and all I could do was work through each day, sometimes hour by hour. I have been though the entire ordeal twice, first watching my mother succumb to the exact diagnosis I later received myself. I managed to beat it, but am still scared to death to go for my annual checks. As for letting go? I found not only could I not do it, I am sure I could not sit by and watch someone else do so. There was nothing to be done for mom, and it was super hard to just wait things out, but there is no way I could have sped up the process. You portrayed all the emotions involved superbly. Bravo.

We put a Santa hat on Bo, I wore the sweater over an insulated sweatshirt. I will try an post the pic of Bo in the morning. I am too fried right now to figure out how to resize it to allow posting.

Thanks. It is good to know Mark is ok and has not abandoned us.

Of course!

Seeming indifferent could indicate she doesn't care male or female, you are her kid and she loves you.

Next year I will be prepared in advance. This year the told me this morning for pics today. They will have to be happy with the ugly sweater and jingle bell earrings. I am hanging the bells on ear wires as we speak.

Not just children. About 60 % of our clientele are adults. We handle everything from physical disabilities to PTSD to Autism, Cerebral Paulsy and Tramatic Brain Injury. The gent we took to the Special Olympics is partially paralyzed on one side after a TBI

Mum, this is just my second Christmas with the therapy program, and last year they sprang pics on me with no warning. This is the first year I get to plan.

Humm. Wonder if that ugly Christmas sweater would fit over my barn sweatshirt?

Good morning The cold white stuff missed us yesterday. Parts of the shore got several inches, but we just had flurries. Was enough to wind our resident snow lover up though. Delema: how does one dress appropriately for holiday pictures and working with horses at the same time?

Good morning all. Adding another new client to the therapy roster today. Evals always make me a bit apprehensive. One never knows how autism can affect the behavior. Sleeping is way more important than hanging with the Waltons a little while longer. Can you post the shortbread recipe??? Please please please? Telling them is the easy part. I need to know how to make them listen!
