12:15 am

1:03 am
VolleymomDee
We just lost a friend last week; such a nasty disease.
1:03 am
rururocks
this one is really painful for me.. a very important person in my life
1:04 am
VolleymomDee
So very sorry, ru.
1:04 am
rururocks
we had a great talk the other day ... so I do feel more complete. .. thank you dee...

I got to tell her all the things she's taught me and how meaningful her friendship has been to me
1:05 am
rururocks
cancer is awful.. just awful
1:06 am
VolleymomDee
Nothing easy about the fight, knowing how to comfort or encourage, but so glad you had that opportunity!! I am sure your words warmed her heart.
1:06 am
rururocks
I think so too.. I certainly hope so.. she knows I love her dearly
1:06 am
Bugsaw
I am sad for you too ruru. It is hard to watch someone you care about leave slowly but it is so good you can help her live fully every moment.
1:07 am
rururocks
thanks bugs..
1:08 am
Bugsaw
too many people are afraid to visit. you are a good man

1:10 am
rururocks
my dog has a little shrine in the yard for une :D
1:10 am
Bugsaw
hospice is wonderful for the whole family. sometimes people are afraid that contacting hospice means they have given up hope. It actually means they want advice on how to live every moment fully.
1:10 am
rururocks
amen bugs.. that's how I feel too.
1:10 am
VolleymomDee
I totally agree, Bugs
1:11 am
rururocks

3:02 am
grannyrose
so one department is taking me to court so that they don't have to pay me, and another department of the same company have just handed me another 12 months. it's hysterical.
3:03 am
Lizlin
Gotta love their communication.
3:04 am
sprite
sometimes, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand does. Sometimes, the left hand doesn't even know it is attached to the same body as the right one.
3:05 am
grannyrose
exactly sprite, and yeah liz, i don't think communication is their strong point.
3:09 am
grannyrose
liz, just saw your pic. what an amazing coincidence.
3:09 am
Lizlin
I couldn't believe it.
3:10 am
sprite
I think Liz reads the chog secretly after she poofs, then plans her traveling accordingly.
3:10 am
grannyrose

3:10 am
Lizlin
Aw! You Sussex me out ;)

reminds me of when the kids were little ones. i would cook up a storm on saturdays. making 4 dozen cookies was nothing. one prob lem though. whenever i put one tray up to cool, by the time i turned back with the next tray out of the oven at least 8 of the first batch were gone.
