Hey Lyn, I'm writing this off line cuz it's easier with/for me.
Hey, did I tell you that "hey" means "HI" down yonder here ?
Anyhow ~ HEY LYN !!!! {Waving and Smiling Really Big}
I could have just emailed you ... but I love your public dialoges ... it cheers everyone UP.
I really did miss you for this year. The puter blew last Mother's Day and a dear friend's son fixed the whole shabang fer me fer nuttin' but for prayers for him only. Whadaguy !
I read here that you've definitely had some changes or alterations in this missing year.
T'ain't nuttin' easy, huh ?!
All I've been basically doing for this last year is trying to maintain as many brain cells as possible and been subjected to various "Dr.s" for the disability determination. Hoy ! All I can say is --- if anyone is applying for "it" ... get copies of all of their Dr.'s reports then get a Great lawyer. What you say is not what most of their Dr.s write into your (PERMANENT) records. They understandably want nothing but the truth out of you, but they just take blurbs from your sentences or misquote you entirely and that's it - it's in your records with the slant they want or bias they prefer. Could drive ya nuts, if you didn't know some excellent coping skills that you've learned along the way and from some HW folk. (o: }
I was afraid you were going to tell me that all the missing girls had taken a one way ticket to Australia or somewhere similar and joined somebody's harem or something. Glad Shell is still with us. I'll be hoping she pops on soon.
I'm so really glad (more than glad) that you've kept this forum alive. Your dependability & still being here is admirable and very much appreciated. Very Much ! Hey, that's how I got to calling ya MaMa Bear last year. (o: }
Hey, and like I was telling ya ~ I really have learned alot about "keeping brain cells" through this year off-line though. Lots of really-neat brand-new research out there of late about keeping your memory intact - 'despite' the cause of the laps in it.
I mostly read lots of good psych books and neuro-science types, so that I could keep it all in one sock, as they say. I love learning new brain-science stuff. It's all beginning to look very promising, if they'd just stay with some of these new theories and quit throwing them out every few months. Ha.
I see Cait's been giving you lots to be proud of. Congrats proud Mama. :)
We still need to get caught up on the who's-who's that are missing. My mind is on two former Mods.
Well, I'll try to get caught up by reading back threads.
You're welcome to email anytime... but I think I'll have to fire one off to you first so you'll have my new addy ... unless I could just update my Profile and stick it there.
LYN ~ THANK YOU for your very special "howdy-do" sis. I truly have missed our MamaBear.
TTYAS I hope and know I love ya with big cyber hugs and prayers.
Y ~ Ann
