I shouldn't have said wimp or loser so casualy, really; i was just thinking of myself and just one incident with one person that made me say that.<br /><br />I really don't have any enemies as such. Enemy is such a strong and terrible word. I do hold a "grudge" against one person.<br /><br />It was something terrible that caused a great loss and a life changing event that happened and my heart just isn't into forgiving the person responsible. It's been in his hands to change the situation with a simple apology for almost 8 yrs now but he does nothing and it's something that affects 14 memebers of my family every single day.<br />I cannot forgive him until he fixes this.Lorrainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503904212738268753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2317162144097995665.post-22128516979909411462010-08-30T15:55:55.741-07:002010-08-30T15:55:55.741-07:00Lol, glad you agree, walking man.

It was the most liberating thing I have ever done in my life, and I don't consider myself a wimp or a loser... I'm much stronger because of it. :)<br /><br />Great post!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2317162144097995665.post-49022446698094696032010-08-30T05:09:20.744-07:002010-08-30T05:09:20.744-07:00You're right...why plow around the stump when ...You're right...why plow around the stump when two sticks of dynamite solves just about any stumping problem.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2317162144097995665.post-56190248948308418792010-08-29T21:06:37.472-07:002010-08-29T21:06:37.472-07:00Please do JBT!

I have total faith that you will come through this challenge and win.<br />I used to get called by the mammography clinic annually and i'd always make my apt then. Maybe i've just forgotten but it seems like ages since the last one and no call yet. Guess i better call them.<br /><br />I beat the big C three times, believe it or not. I was 19 when the Dr. found a lump on my thyroid and i was under the knife immediately. Only one side of the thyroid was removed and unfortunately i felt another lump 6 months later. The second surgery was done with incision from ear to ear and vocal glands scraped. The fear of not being able to speak again was hard to deal with. Lucky me; i retained my voice and it was much needed as i had 3 babies at that time. <br />My next encounter with cancer was cervical about 22 yrs later (found in a routine pap test)which necessitated a complete hysterectomy.<br />We do what we have to do and somehow make our way through these bumps on our roads. I believe keeping a positive attitude helps alot. <br />I feel strongly that you'll be ok.Lorrainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503904212738268753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2317162144097995665.post-82362437161779555492010-08-26T16:32:43.587-07:002010-08-26T16:32:43.587-07:00Oh my gosh what a great post!

This meant chipping away the grass to accomodate the plants thereby making the islands larger and the grass path skinnier and curvier as the hubby grew whinier, and so go's the days of our lives.<br /><br />I think i just contradicted myself again, lol!<br /><br />Ya just can't win!Lorrainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503904212738268753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2317162144097995665.post-67959713690723217422010-08-26T05:40:15.034-07:002010-08-26T05:40:15.034-07:00The quotation about life being easier when you plo...The quotation about life being easier when you plow around the stump makes me think of my husband when he mows.
