~Drive by post - hardly getting anything down again today. Had high hopes after yesterday. I'll be going in for a complete unfill tomorrow afternoon. :bored:

~Ebony, the church doesn't have any cc's other than one for the office supply store! They don't want electronic transfers done for the bills. I do do transfers between accounts but w/a lot of documentation. This fiasco may change their minds some tho. May bring it up at the next council meeting. Heck, they still require 2 signatures for the checks even tho the bank doesn't. All checks and balances and it keeps me safe from accusations too but a PITA when something goes wrong like this!

RM - very well stated - Thank you!

I pray it does not fall on deaf ears. I too realize I was unfortunately using the term banned in reference to HH. What I intended to say was suspended as well as with the other person involved.

Not meaning to make light of the situation - but I am reminded of an appropriate example from kindergarten:

(true story - no joke) A boy in my class came over and pushed me down to the ground, in getting up I yelled "HEY!"

Next thing I knew we were both in timeout and getting paddled (yes parochial school). I tried to make my case to the teacher that I didn't do anything - he really just came up and pushed me. (was the true account)

My very wise teacher said - she had no idea who started what but it didn't matter - from what she saw both of us were involved when she came over.

Was it fair to me? - Not necessarily (biased though)

Was it the fair way to handle the situation with the information she had? - Probably

Ok Here's a true story from MY misspent youth.

Kindergarten, age 5. Boy was chasing all the girls around during recess and either pinching them, pulling their hair, or pulling their dresses up (this was 1960. Girls wore dresses). He came up to me; I stood my ground and punched him dead in the nose. Knocked him down. (No I had no brothers and had never hit another soul in my life). We were marched to the director's office. When asked WHY did you hit him I said "He was making everyone cry. I had to stop him". LOL Fallout? He was mortified and never hit another girl, at least in kindergarten. I was told "ladies don't hit" and was a minor hero.

Maybe that's why I feel it's good to take on things (people, institutions) that I feel are malfunctioning.

True story.

RM - nice!

Let's just say I've grown up since kindergarten - and learned a few things about how to treat bullies!

Ebony----girl I am soooo proud of you! Onederland! You have worked so hard at it, and succeeded in spite of the problems you are dealing with in your home life, and work life. What an accomplishment!!! I am so happy for you!

I just got off the phone with G4E's SIL---and from what I could understand he said the tumor was cancerous---but it was a little difficult understanding him, his accent and mine did not mesh!

He said his wife, G4E's DD is in the shower and would call me back with info on her Mom, and I will be back and post it.

Tell ya what tho----I have had the DX of cancer, and if she is dealing with it again, my heart goes out to her----and it puts all this in perspective for me.

And BTW---clone me??? Heaven AND my DH forbids it!!! LOL What a nightmare that could be!

I have to laugh thinking of the Michael Keaton movie, Multiplicity. Wonder what personality traits would come forth in the clones??!!

Will be in touch when I hear from G4E's DD.

KC I would've taken him out for you. I'd have gotten another "A lady doesn't blah blah blah" lecture, but I'd have done it. :tongue2: BUT...I think we both overcame our upbringing. LOL

[*susan* 1,709]

Kat, thanks for letting us know. I am so sorry to hear that it was cancerous and truly hope they were able to remove all of it. Please let us know if you hear any further information.

[Kat817 19]

I just spoke with Paula's DD, and it is cancer again. She said the family has been reeling, but Paula has not been off the pain meds enough yet for it to truly sink in with her.

The Dr is supposed to talk to the family tomorrow--let them know what stage or what the plan is. She said she will be released tomorrow, and would try to have her call me. I ask if maybe we could get an address so we could send her cards etc. since she is off line.

Will post what I hear.

[kcmagu 3]

Thanks Kat for putting the time in to both be there for her but keep us up to date as well. Will await your further info

[Brandy~ 2]

Yes Thank You Kat.. You my dear are the exception to the rule. I was wondering how it was going. I just hope the best for her and family.

[heartfire 4]

COMPLETE unfill??? OH NO, I'm so sorry...

Yea, me too. Since it's kind of an emergency and I've gone so long, he already said yesterday that it would be a complete unfill. I tried, it's not working. I just PB'd ice cream. A major slider for me. :tongue2:

I just spoke with Paula's DD, and it is cancer again.

Damn and double-damn! I was really praying it wouldn't be cancer again. And to think that the ER found this thing years ago and never told her about it!

Thanks for keeping in touch with her and letting us know what is happening. I'd love to have an addy to send a card if that's possible.

Thank you, Kat.

I'm sad today. Too much... stuff. 'Night all.
