Well here I am again. It's been a few months since I've picked up my laptop, let alone signed on-line. The last day I was on-line I also left an entry in my LJ, that was a few months ago now-not sure exactly how long. I picked up my laptop for the first time today and I'd made a promise to myself that I would go on-line and do and LJ entry the very ( Read more... )

I promise this is just an update and not a "nothing but complaints" entry! As you can tell by my heading I'm still hot up here in the "nice cool mountains", but I got alot of good suggestions from so many of you and we are definately going to look into a room air conditioner once we are mobile again. We don't use credit cards, we're a strictly cash ( Read more... )

Got a call from the mechanics today. They say the van is now working properly and ready to go. I guess we won't know for sure until we get it picked up and drive it a few times, but it does sound like good news! No way to get a ride there to pick it up today but hopefully tomorrow we will be able to do that. I've got my fingers crossed that all is ( Read more... )

I've been getting on to post so seldomly lately and saw so many responses to my last posting that were in the same vein that I thought a mass response in the form of a post might be the ticket. (shame on me, huh?) You all came up with a good idea in the form of the room air conditioner I'm just not at all sure it will work for me. I'll explain why ( Read more... )

Hi friends! It's been awhile since I've done a post for which I'm truly sorry. Though I haven't been active on-line please know that all of you LJ friends are ALWAYS on my mind and in my prayers and meditations every day! I mean that statement with all my heart! Not a day goes by that I don't think about each one of you individually and spend time ( Read more... )

Hi everyone. In response to my post in spiritsisters about it being National Scleroderma Awareness Month I was asked if I would do a post about exactly what it is. Of course I'm more than happy to do that, because the more people know about these rare diseases the more beneficial it will be for those of us who have them and those who may ( Read more... )

Alas, it has been 4 days since I wrote we were going to court and I would update all as to the outcome. And a hard 4 days they have been! But first things first: YES-things went well for us at court! The judge ordered the mechanics to tow our van back to their shop (free of charge) that very day, which they did. But since it was the holiday weekend ( Read more... )

So, it's finally here, tomorrow we go to court over how the mechanics "fixed" our van! I don't see how we could possibly lose this case, but stranger things have happened so I don't want to count my chickens before they're hatched! Signed on for a short time just to do this post, then I have to sign off again to-believe it or not-start getting ( Read more... )

Last night I watched the "hotly contested" documentary "Baghdad ER" on HBO. I now know why people protested against us seeing it. It was one of the hardest things I've ever watched. To see those brave men and women who are there serving our country suffering and dying is gut-wrenching! I cried the entire hour it was on. But who would think it ( Read more... )

I can't believe it but I recently found out my high school graduating class is planning it's 30yr reunion this year! I so clearly remember my high school days, how could it be possible that it's been 30yrs since I've graduated?? Where did the time go? I can't believe that I could be as old as I am. (48 as of my birthday this past March) I looked ( Read more... )
