Hey, thanks for asking! It was CAT scan, not an MRI. But, all was good. Doc said he thinks I passed a small kidney stone, recommended a basic physical. No cutting! LOL

Hope all of your news is as good as mine has been the last two weeks!

I collect wheat pennies and odd coins also. No method to the madness; its just for fun. :D

Hey,hope you have had a good weekend.Just had you on my mind and thought I would stop by and say hello.Love the picture on your profile.

"I had a Marine do the same thing to me about 13 years ago. Then got mad with the hp and said he was deploying, couldn't be in court on the date on the ticket. Hp said, fine, just mail in your check. I could see smoke coming out of his ears. Totalled his car, messed up hubby's new truck pretty bad. Hubby wasn't pleased."

--I know that he wasn't happy! lol. I'm surprised that alot of our friends didn't get in wrenks back in the day. We had a friend that would go home almost every weekend he could (his home is in Maryland). But yeah, I don't get how service member think that they can get away with things more easy that civilians can. you break the law, you have to pay for it no matter what!

I know you hate to see your grandpa leave you but some times that can be a blessing.I will be praying for yur grandmother that God give her comfort,peace,and strength to get through what is faceing all of you.Being marrie to some one for 62 years and then the thought of having to be with out them is so hard.Guess she feels like she is loseing part of herself.My heart goes out to her.Give her a big hug for me you hear? Hon,I'm hear for you and keeping you and your family in my prayers God bless you.

thanks for the birthday wishes!!!

luvas ya!

Hey Tracey, The company I rep for is in Windsor NC. If you can send me a shirt or email the graphics to me ---- I can quote you. alot of it has to do with how many colors, front and back, pockets or no pockets. I can get you anything that you want.

This is cool ------ I need to know where your husband's business is located. I rep also for another company and from time to time sell walk in coolers. I have to have a Licensed HVAC person to install them if you think he would be interested.

My email is swcowboy1@hotmail.com or you can hit my golo profile.

Tracey, There is nothing to a walk in. It comes in four foot panels, assembled by bolts, depending on what size, compressor that comes with the unit is placed on top. Unless it it is huge big time it will be 110 or 220. That is it ---- I just have to have some one certified to install them. It is not like we are doing a dozen a week........ I just like to have some contacts. If he was interested, I could help him do one. It doesn't take long at all..... plus his quote would be in the package.

Windsor is not terribly far from Goldsboro, maybe 100 miles or less, but I work that area along with the rest of NC. on this side of the Roanoke River. I would be delited to quote your T's. or what ever you want. I did some little league baseball shirts for a team in Angier NC. this year. It is about the same distance, but I work out of my house. close to Targoro. I sell everywhere, even in other states.

Thanks, Let me know.

That should have been Tarboro......... LOL!

Tracey, I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather. Spend as much time with him as you can. The memories are priceless.

I'm sure he was happy that you were there to spend time with him. I've got a lil poem that a man in a nursing home wrote. Gonna try to post it here...It may come in two parts. Its called Crabby Old Man.

Reminds me of the last time I saw my paternal grandfather. Granted he isn't crabby, but you'll understand the sentiment once you read it.

What do you see nurses? What do you see? What are you thinking . . . . . when you're looking at me?

A crabby old man, not very wise, Uncertain of habit ..… with faraway eyes? Who dribbles his food . . .... and makes no reply . When you say in a loud voice .. . . . .. 'I do wish you'd try!'

Who seems not to notice . .. the things that you do . And forever is losing . . .. A sock or shoe?

Who, resisting or not . . . . .. . .. . . . lets you do as you will, With bathing and feeding The long day to fill?

Is that what you're thinking? Is that what you see? Then open your eyes, nurse . . you're not looking at me .. I'll tell you who I am. As I sit here so still, As I do at your bidding, . . . . as I eat at your will.

I'm a small child of Ten .. . . . . with a father and mother, Brothers and sisters . . .. ... . . . . . who love one another.

A young boy of Sixteen . . with wings on his feet Dreaming that soon now . . . .. . . a lover he'll me

con't)A young boy of Sixteen . . with wings on his feet Dreaming that soon now . . . .. . . a lover he'll meet..

A groom soon at Twenty . my heart gives a leap. Remembering, the vows . . . . . . that I promised to keep.

At Twenty-Five, now .. . . . . . . . I have young of my own. Who need me to guide . . .. .. And a secure happy home.

A man of Thirty . . . .. .. . . . .. My young now grown fast, Bound to each other . . . . . . . With ties that should last.

At Forty, my young sons .. . have grown and are gone, But my woman's beside me . . . . . . to see I don't mourn.

At Fifty, once more, babies play 'round my knee, Again, we know children . . . . .. . . My loved one and me.

Dark days are upon me . . my wife is now dead. I look at the future .... .. . . . . . . shudder with dread..

For my young are all rearing . . . .. young of their own. And I think of the years . . . and the love that I've known.

con't2)I'm now an old man . . . . . . .. . . and nature is cruel. Tis jest to make old age . . . . look like a fool.

The body, it crumbles . . . .. . . . grace and vigor, depart. There is now a stone . . . . . . . where I once had a heart. But inside this old carcass . . a young guy still dwells, And now and again . . . . . . my battered heart swells.

I remember the joys . . . . . . . .. . I remember the pain. And I'm loving and living . . . . . .. . .. . . . life over again.

I think of the years, all too few . . . . . . gone too fast. And accept the stark fact . . . . .. . that nothing can last.

So open your eyes, people . . .. . . . . open and see. Not a crabby old man. Look closer . . . . see ME!!

He's always been so strong, and now, so weak'

Gosh, how long has he been like this?

4 months is a long time to see a loved one suffer. At least he is resting. I'll be praying he gets better...From what you write, he sounds like a wonderful man! And you are a chip off the old block yourself.

(((hugs))) to you!!!

Good Morning! My BIL was hit by two cars at MB in 2007. He stayed in the hospital 1 1/2 years and then went to a rest home. We visited the other weekend and he too talks about wanting to go home...meaning to heaven with his mom and dad so I can certainly relate to that. It's heartbreaking...Your grandpops is tired of suffering. I can imagine he is probably giving up or has already done so. You are strong to be there and offer comfort. I'm not sure I could be so strong. Take care and I pray things make a change for the better. {{hugs}}

Hey...can we talk in the group?

Hey...how are things going? If you wanna talk privately, you know where to find me.

Have a wonderful weekend too!!

{{hugs}}

Good Saturday morning to you!!!

Good Morning Dear! This doesn't sound good at all. I really was hoping and praying that things would make a turn for the better. I hope your grandma is at a better understanding of all that is going on. Pops sounds as if he really is ready to 'go home' and not have to deal with the pain anymore.

Thank you for the update. Please know I will continue to pray for your whole family during this time of sadness.

{{hugs}}

lbnblakesmom *HUGS* Keeping You and Your Family in our Thoughts and Prayers!!! I am so sorry!!!

You are so right!!! I will keep positive Thoughts you stay strong!!! Remembering the good times and knowing your Grandfather is still with you and watching over you all sometimes helps. When my Step-Dad past away and my Grandfather...silly me only wanted a shirt they wore.. It was just something silly I found such comfort in...I still have those shirts and keep them close by. I also planted a Memory Garden in my Yard where I find a bit of Peace. My Grandfather loved Roses. A few people gave me Plants which I planted in the Memory Garden as well. And silly...but take note of how many Cardinals you start seeing *smiles*

{{{hugs}}}

Hey,my prayers and heart are going out to your grandma being with some one for 62 years is a long time and I can imagine how she feels.I was sick one time a few year ago and I didn't think I was going to make.One day my husband walked in my hospital room and I looked at him and thought what would I do without him.Praying for grandma: Lord I come to you in prayer for this child of yours that has lost her husband to go home and be with you,Lord they have been to gether for many years and I ask that you take her in your loving arms and give her comfort,peace,and strength,and to let her know all is going to be o.k.Lord we know that one day she will see him again I ask that you comfort her heart mind and soul by reminding her of this.Lord I sk you to be with the family to give them comfort,peace and strength to get through these last hours that they are going to go through,help them to be strong for grandma as she needs there support and love at this time,in Jesus holy name Amen.Hon just ke

Is Grandma better?

Good Morning,I'm glad to hear your granmother is doing o.k.Liveing with some one 62 years will take some time adjusting to not having them any more,I'm sure that he still lives in her heart.I know it would be hard on me as well,I'm just glad she is doing as good as she is. How are you doing ? I'm sure you miss grandpa just as much as she does.Keeping you both in my prayers.You are such a loving and caring person to stand by your grandmother like you are.She is very lucky to have you.
