Lmsmdm and mike797 are in

I love happy news!! Congrats!!!

I can't say "I get it" because my loss was different. ( get a little bitter about the strides with hep c and my Big Guy didn't last long enough) However, I believe her heart was in the right place. I can imagine the trigger as when I see the commercials about the new treatment of hep c (of which my neighbors brother was an intricate contributor) I can't help but think " you SOB why didn't you work faster?" And yet, I am happy that others will get relief... Not sire I made sense, but here it is.

I think he is EVERYONE'S IDOL ha ha

Agree with Imissdow!!! Miss Playboy neighbor post

Ok, think Obama is an ass!!!! However, meeting a standing Pres in such a small group is AMAZING!!!!! So cool!!

I think what most of us old timers (ywbbers) miss most is the history!! I like the like option, however I agree with the thought that with the option to just like, we loose the input.

Ktown would welcome you with open arms....just sayin!!!

I was lucky enough to survive an objective to eliminate 25% of our work force!! I came dangerously close to getting the ax, and for no good reason, had great productivity results, and excellent attendance!!!! All advice I was given was do not quit!!! If you quit or resign, you are not eligible for unemployment!!!! I agree with everyone else in that he should start looking elsewhere while he is still employed!!

Love it!!! Hope, it's been what I've been clinging to since my widda journey began!!

Ok, have several pics would like to post, but too big, HELP!!!

I don't have a cemetery... However, I have his ashes spread in many locations, amd more to come. I do go to one sight on a fairly regular basis known as the knob... It's an application trail loc. I go about 6 times a year, and just enjoy the beautiful view, remembering our many (albeit not enough) years together.

Hugs Barney...hope you were able to find some peace.

Yay!!! Sent you a pm

Big, big hugs MS..... Although I did not experience this with immediate family, I do understand the relief when I cut ties with a friend since kindergarten. (((Hugs))) relief or not, I can only imagine....

My first wedding was fun while I was there. I lost it later, alone in my hotel room....I think what started me off was I couldn't unzip my dress, and had to knock on the room down the hall with the giggling college girls. It made me feel pathetic. Today thankfully I am able to laugh about it. I'm glad you are being seated with someone you know. I also know after meeting you several times, you probably fit in anywhere you go. (((Hugs)))) I hope it ends up being a blast!!

I think it's very normal!! (((Hugs))))

It seems that this one is a bust, but I am still going as I think it will be cool to see so many lanterns at once!! My door is open if anyone wants to come 8)

You all look lovely!! ((((Hugs Mama))))) being childless I can only imagine your struggle. Your daughters however, I do know. Big Guy and I procrastinated to the point that I lost my Tom (a name that is synonymous with dad. My parents divorced when I was 8, and they married 9months later) We had 2 ceremonies, explaining my signature. Tom died 2 1/2 years before our legal day, and just shy of 3 years before our big celebration. We waited 14-1/2 years. Like an ass, I didn't write anything down as I would remember. HA!!!! Mentioned all the lost family EXCEPT for Tom, the entire reason I intended that little speech. For that reason I know the day was bitter sweet. Again, ((((hugs)))) I hope the day was more on the sweet side.

I can be in a room full of people, even with NG and STILL feel lonely!! I know I will NEVER quit missing Big Guy, but I have to believe that one day, I will quit feeling lonely.

I wish I could come, but have to share my asshat gene with you all, every time I look at the title of this thread, this is all I can think of....... 8)

Hope you were able to find moments of peace, and yes I believe she knows too!!

Manutesgirl, I'm sorry we will miss you!! Of course your daughter is welcome!!

Big hugs, you will learn that it will ebb and flow. Someone once referred to grief as a roller coaster. I feel that's a great analogy. Enjoy the highs when they come. Deal with the lows as best you can. Eventually the good days will out number the bad.

I have a few pictures around...I will admit I got pissed at NG when he suggested they were holding me back. I have none in my bedroom, and all but 2 are mixed in with my wall of family going up the steps. Most of the pictures on the wall are of other family members, NOT us. I don't know maybe I'm being an ass.
