Thank you for your kind words. I hope we both can find peace in the days ahead. Nancy

Re: ramblings afterward ... Toby's gone Hello Betsy, I was saddened to hear of your diagnosis. Your questions are excellent. Hopefully those who have experience in offering answers/suggestions will see this. I will try to write more later today. I'm just so tired. One thing I do believe with...

Oh Steph, Thank you for responding; your words/presence brought tears to my eyes because we shared so much. As always I related to your words and wish you as much peace and harmony as is possible. Just because we 'deserve' it doesn't make it happen, right? It's all so confusing on various...

NIKKI J: Whoops .. what happened?? I've been working on some sort of answer for Betsy but it's such a gigantic subject. I keep writing and deleting in an email to myself so I don't run out of time. Already it's almost been an hour and I still have about 25 answers - none of which will help...

Oh gosh ... now I'm tearing up ... your kind message just reinforced why I spent so much time here. Thank you for your caring words and I want you to know that they helped me! I was sort of 'iffy' on whether or not to just jump on and let the words fly.... I loved your message. xoxo

Hi from your 'missing' friend. I posted in memorial section. I am alone now... hard to believe.

Thank you xo

Greetings to all ! It's been crazy crazy crazy so I haven't been on computer at all, but I did read every word offered here again just now. All I can say is that your kindnesses and ideas were taken very seriously, appreciated deeply, and helped when I was feeling quite lost. You are a very...

Tillie dearest ... posted an answer/update to your little note today in Cals forum ... You are soooo wonderful. xoxo

Hi Tillie! Oh thank you for following up with me. I'm like a little critter hiding in her fortress - afraid to venture out. Hate to say it but this week has been a humdinger. Some really good things are happening but 'we' just seem to be at odds for the first time in our marriage - good...

My dear fellow CALS, Your messages were devoured by me when I returned here. I was really touched by all the kind and wise words expressed; I don’t feel alone tonight. This forum truly is an oasis in the desert, and I shall do my best to utilize it’s gifts more frequently. Just a few...

Hi guys, I am an infrequent poster but avid reader. Expression does not come easily as I've always been very private. I finally decided I'd better express some junk that's in my head and heart or I'll implode, explode or melt into a witch's pile of goo, as in Oz. After reading all the...

Thank you, Laurie. I plan to find the right lift for us and our home ... and make it work. I appreciate your encouragement.
