argon 3 Posted March 14, 2007 I have searched the CCRA website and can't find what I"m looking for. I definitely do not want to tell this gal... she IS nice, but has a big mouth, and wouldn't personally benefit from me educating her about it! I'll look a little harder on the website and see if I can find something. Thanks guys. My mom left a voice message for me telling me that my grandma (dad's mom) died this morning. It wasn't really unexpected, she hasn't been 'well' in a long time... been in a nursing home for maybe 11 years, with very bad Alzheimer's and I'm sure not in a good state. We hoped that this would come to 'put her at peace', so I guess it is good... much better for her. I hadn't seen her in a really long time, but my dad did go visit more often. Anyways, yeah, kinda sad... but relieved that she's not suffering anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

susansilver 0 Posted March 15, 2007 My condolences Mandi. You are right, she is no longer suffering. You can also call a CCRA hotline for answers to your questions. I am sure that you can ask them anonymously if you prefer. Susan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

argon 3 Posted March 20, 2007 Here's a weird one (mostly weird Dan) from a Bowling-For-Kids thing we did for work. The computer has a built in camera that has little 'filters' you can apply weird things to the pictures you take, such as: comicbook popart glow and not so weird: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

argon 3 Posted March 20, 2007 How about some scar progress pics: L to R : about 2 weeks after, 4 months after, and 10 months after (also documenting the jabs/bruising/bandaid irritation from the 1# defill attempt) gotta love me 'spreadin' my belly skin so you can actually see something through all the wrinkly goodness, eh?
