Prayers up.
Welcome.
I admit, it is hard NOT to tear out hearts.

Trolls make me want to tear out hearts and such..
In a nonstick skillet, heat maple syrup over medium heat. Break eggs into maple syrup. While eggs are cooking, toast waffles. When eggs are cooked to desired doneness, place on waffles, pouring hot maple syrup over top. Serve immediately. (Eat immediately.)
Val, you and your family have my sympathy on the loss of your sister.
I was going to send a card, but I don't have your current address. Please know that I've been thinking of you.
Ya gotta love Sheriff Joe...
Don't know how many of you have seen the warnings about a new worm attached to emails - but I suspect that that's related to the number of junk emails I've gotten this morning - over 20 now. They are from email addys I am in no way familiar with. The subject lines say things like: Mail rejected, Your Password, Your Account. Don't even open 'em.
Hmmm...so far, those folks have missed me. Just the usual Size Matters, Housewives Looking for Fun on the Side, You've Been Approved..., Rolex Watches; and all the other garbage that is sent to the Junk & Unapproved file.
Beautiful part of our country, Valerie. Thanks.
Sound a little familar.....at least here Mr Herbert was given some assistance and not just left to rot!
Buffalo Fireman Regains Long-Lost Memories
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/03/nyregion/03coma.html?pagewanted=print&position=
Mr. Herbert, who had rescued two adults and two small children in a 1990 fire and had many citations for bravery, had severe head trauma as well as prolonged oxygen deprivation and remained in a coma for two and a half months.
Buried under flaming debris, Mr. Herbert was knocked unconscious and, according to reports at the time, went six minutes without oxygen before other firefighters pulled him free. They carried him out a window and down a ladder, and he was taken to Erie County Medical Center in critical condition.
While Mr. Herbert regained consciousness in 1996, his speech was slurred, he was unable to eat without assistance, he was confined to a bed or a wheelchair and his vision was reduced to a series of blurs. Doctors said that they had found no damage to the optic nerves, but that the part of the brain that controls vision appeared to have been damaged.
Moreover, Mr. Herbert's memory seemed all but nonexistent. He could not say how old he was or what his job had been. He seemed unable to recognize family members and friends, and firefighting comrades had become virtual strangers.
In 1999, a year after he was moved to the nursing home, Linda Herbert prevailed in a brief legal fight with Mr. Herbert's parents, Geraldine and Donald P. Herbert, over who should have control over decisions in a medical emergency, like pneumonia or a serious infection. All agreed that extraordinary resuscitative measures should not be taken in the event of a stroke or a heart attack.
But Mr. Herbert's condition remained stable over the years. "He would sit in a wheelchair in front of a TV with no awareness," Linda Herbert's mother, Mary Blake, said yesterday. "He could say yes or no, but he could not put words together or talk back if people asked him a question. Most days, he just sat silently."
She does look ill Val but she still looked like she had a great attitude. Her children look great. How are YOU doing?
ROTFL.......
Somehow I think this woman has affected you deeply, Nully.....deeply.
That's good.......I think.....
Prayers for her family, prayers for all of you. It is good you are there for each other. Hang on tight.
Nice weapon.
I'd love to have one in the front yard - without the barrel welded inoperative.
Cheers over there.
I'm really not surprised.
I worry that she told me all of her wisdom about our two civilizations. I'm still not sure what kind of a pick up line she thought that was..........Hey, baby, wanna come see my etchings aura?
:-)
Okay, so I haven't found a worthy sacrifice -yet.
she did look kind of goth like.
