all, my heart is burdened for my mother. She told my daughter on Christmas that her cancer has returned, and that she may be facing more surgery and chemotherapy. I have not heard anything directly from her, because she does not want to "worry" me...but she may not realize that what I can imagine may be far worse than what is really happening. So, I am called to pray for her, harder than I have ever prayed before.

Not that I'm aware of, Molly. The other secretary is supposed to be here, but I have no clue where she is.

Gotta keep a flame thrower handy. Much faster than a snow blower - or a shovel for that matter.
8:10 am

lol,hardware store is fresh out of flame throwers..shhh..though if you go to a construction equipment rental place and ask for a tiget torch,you will get something pretty close hehe
8:10 am

tiger torch*
8:11 am
Judi

I'll keep that in mind. I think it would be much more efficient than a snow blower.
8:11 am
crosshair

uses a lot of propane though
8:11 am
Judi

Plus, it would melt any ice that may be under the snow.
8:12 am
Judi

Propane burns cleaner than gasoline.
8:12 am

that it does

thanks sue, how did i miss that?? lol
5:30 pm
lilliann

13.the hospital said she can fly and it will do her good to have a holiday, as it will help with her recovery and she doesn't need any follow up appointments.it will be a couple of weks until we can get one anyway as our gp won't write the letter as they didn't treat her, so we need them to see her but can't make an appointment for a couple of weeks and we can't make an emergency appointment as they won't write a letter if we do that, but they will phone us up next week and do a telephone appointment which is no good to us as they have to see her before they can write the letter.there is just so much red tape all the time!!

i don't know why we couldn't just get one off the doctors at the hospital, but they won't accept it, it's the same as the insurance company.plus now we are waiting to hear whether we will be insured again by the insurance company because of her injuries , and if not we won't be insured so won't be able to go anyway!!
5:34 pm

it sure will bugs

5:35 pm

how's everyone? still turkey-ing?
5:37 pm
lilliann

we have national health but not national health insurance. this was holiday insurance.we just had to cancel our christmas holiday as we should be sunning ourselves in the dominican now, so we have put a claim in for that, but that will take upto 3 months and they want out gp to sign the forms but they refuse to as they didn't treat her and the insurance company won't take the letters from the hospital doctors! it's a pain in the arse!!

I started babbling la 4/4 today, but I finished. Here is a story la 5/12 with clues for today's da4/5 December 27, 2012. La 4/4 year, I said to my husband, le 4/4 go on a di4/5.We we4/8 on a diet together.I lost lots of weight by just eating sa 5/12 at every meal. But hubby's di 4/5 la 5/12 a week because he changed his mi4/6. It would be ne4/4 if he lost weight. My husband is in di4/5 need to go on a di4/5. His body is very large and very wi 4/9. I would be el5/10d if he lost weight. He's so overweight that he can barely fa6/27 his seat belt around him. The seat belt makes an in6/21 in his skin. He gets wi 4/9ed after walking up a flight of st 5/10s as well. This year I made de4/5 with him. If he loses 50 pounds by Spring, I will take him to a Yankees baseball game. However, he would have to lose over 100 pounds to be at an id 5/12 weight. Even if he fa 6/30 and did not eat for a week, I don't think he would lose weight. He has this in 6/18 id 4/5 that he will lose 150 pounds in a month. He says he in 6/21s to do this. He hasn't ea5/10 any healthy meals yet though. He has to have a si 4/5 dish with his dinner. He ea4/4 chips for a snack in7/32 of fruit. He loves the ta 5/10 of fried food. He isn't losing weight as fa 4/7 as I hoped he would. In fact,I think he has no in6/18ion of losing any weight. My hubby is in a sn 4/4 because I am hogging the laptop. I am glad that I could le4/5 a hand with my story.I am going to go re4/5 a book for awhile. I hope you have found a sl4/8 of words with this story. I will start the grid again an 4/8 sometime tomorrow. By the way, only some of this story is re 4/4. Goodni4/4 to all babblers. I will see you all again sometime tomorrow
