I have two arms, two legs, two eyes, etc., so my appreciation for the world as a whole is insurmountable.

One thing that will comfort him, and I'm sure you already know, is that there are people who are WAY off worse, and need help functioning basic tasks just to get through the day. His condition can be very daunting, considering his age, but since he is going through it on a personal level, I know he is going to have an incredible amount of appreciation for life with every year that passes.

Keep doing what you're doing. I know things will fade out around here and we will all move on to different things, but always know that you and your family are always going to be in my heart and I know nothing but the best will happen for all of you.

*don't tell your hubby I'm jealous and want his spot *

That is a funny thing about us people, we always compare our lives with others and then we realize how good we have it.

Your parents are wise. Our wish the kids will never see no harm is often harming them more. My dad did this too.

I couldn't be happier with the little menace but I admit him now again sleeping on the floor because of a dinosaur broke his bed is both funny and also a good way to see how his mind works. He has to pay for his next one too, so he's doing the filling and emptying dishwasher and as well as watering all plants outside. He hired his brother to help him by promising the tiny kid that when he gets caught next time doing something wrong, he will lend his dinosaur for the role of the fall guy. When he gets older and if he has not learned that actions have consequences, he'll be an engineer or a cat tamer.

Meh, I doubt we will vanish altogether, I think Billup that in this fucked up bitworld we've made real friends out of each other.

Oh, tue hubby would probably gladly donate me to anyone. Hell, I'd donate him too most days.

Just do as I did: Kill bathroom lights and we can at least pretend to be young and in shape again.

Sorry about your arms, I read you suspect you have the thing my uncle specialized for.

My kid is already calling me "Robot! Robot arms!"

Yeah, I have an autoimmune. Very athletic TO barely run/grab a phone on a bad day. I still look at my 10yr ago's photograph and inside.

Oh damn, well think of how good we'll think we looked at this age when we hit sixty!

[MrPrena]

My goal at age 60 is to look like I am in 40s.

Lol, you might manage, but us blonds have zero hope achieving this. We hit forty and things that happen are not pretty!

[MrPrena]

I think women can achieve this easier than men. At least they have cosmetics. We only have "gotta dye our gray hair."

<---that is IF we do not lose our hair.

Oh please, if you lose your hair, you can buy a Porsche. We have to go back to priuses because the hubby has gd's after him and we need to downgrade out costs.

I'm not trying to rub this in or anything, but I've been told I look better with every year I get older. I doubt it's true, but I enjoy the compliments.

[MrPrena]

If I did get GT3 or 911T S, I am definitely gonna buy this shirt.

Hahaa, I've been told I look human when I bother.

Meh, I'm still okay, but I am happy looks have never been my selling point.

I've never went to my junior/senior HS proms. No dates cause I was a dork in HS. I'm still a dork now

I did not either. More of a funding issue for me. Girl who asked me out as super sweetheart. When I needed money, she was nice enough to buy my used TI-82 for $60.

It is real sad that I mention that calculator story from more than 20 years ago.

<--- SOB Story

Look at you Casanova.

[MrPrena]

LOL thanks, but I am sure you know that I didn't meant it that way.

She had no one to go with &, I had no one to go with. I would say that she was more brave than me for asking.
One of the hs buddy gave me some info about her (w/ fb link). She is doing really good. She deserves it.

I forgot the date of the big dance in our school and went fishing. My boyfriend was mildly pissed.

An other ex, me and a group of friends with their gf's went to see titanic. I fell asleep on the start, woke up when the ship sunk and I asked too loudly could we go now. He was less than impressed with my empathy skills.

Yeah, I cant brag with a great dating history from that time period.

[MrPrena]

Fishing story was funny.
I love falling asleep while on a date story. I did that before. I will share it someday.
At least you have lots of funny [dating] stories you can share.

Yeah, tons! The 3.5 men I've ever dated would not agree with you one bit. My first boyfriend told me the best thing about me is that I hurt myself badly enough once a year he can have real conversations with me while I'm stuck nursing my back. Yeah, trophy you see. We were together for 2.5 years.

The second bf told me I have issues in being serious and that "honestly, it's like I'm dating a man. Who forgets their anniversary (went fishing again)?" I didn't have the balls to break his heart so I ran away to army. Adult move all the way! We were together for 4ish years.

Yeah, I'm the price!

[MrPrena]

I though I was rough on my dates, but you win by wide margin!

I had a date once. she was late, so I just left. She didn't have a cell phone at that time. She was really mad.
Makeup date, I told her that she had to buy her own 6flag ticket, food, and have her own transportation. My funny friends were saying,
"WOW, you are the man!"
I said, this is 21st century. If she wants a knight on a white horse, I am not the one."

I didn't either. I just went to all the after parties to hang out with friends.


Renting a tux, buying the girl dinner/her ticket, it was all overrated.


We all have a little dork in us.
