...to crush my enemies, to see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Failing that, there are a few FR women I'd like to see buck nekkid. But only for scientific reasons, mind you.
“5. Have a photo published in a national magazine”

Okay, so they didn’t pay me and it’s a giveaway magazine and I had to use my screen name, but it’s a start!
Have Rush cancel his dinner with Hildy since he is already enjoying his day with me and doesn’t want it to end... ;)
I have tears in my eyes and I don’t even know if your grandson is injured, sick, or worse. May your dream come true if possible. You definitely have figured out the meaning of life.

Wow, makes my list seem pretty worthless. God bless you.
susie
That's okay! These are things you have wanted to do.
Sure, but I think I should want to work for world peace or something!

I went down 2 waist sizes just by running every day.
You can get a start on this by selling on Amazon and Half.com - that's what I do and I have a 800 book inventory now (which is very small compared to some sellers)
I’ve posted for prayers for Josh a few times. In Nov, 07, he went in for a routine allergy shot. Within 2 minutes of the shot he suffered an anaphylactic shock, severe. That’s what peanut allergies do also. It’s usually immediate death because the lungs swell shut.
Josh went to the floor his last words being “help me”. The ambulance had to be called in another town because the ones in that particular town were all being used.
Valuable time was lost and the clinic had nothing other than epi pen and benedryl. So...by the time the ambulance came it had been too long and he suffered a lack of oxygen injury. (hypoxic/anoxic)
U of M used one of those freezing blankets to cool him and on the 7th day they did an MRI. It turned out very bad but our daughter and her husband would not/could not let him go. The next day he began to do some of the things they’d just told us he’d never be able to do...gag, cough, etc.
After 102 days at Mott’s he’s home but still can’t walk or talk. He’s in a wheelchair and in some ways reminds me of Teri Shiavo. Although at least she could smile. I mean the eyes..He doesn’t have that Josh personality at the moment.
But he has made some very slow progress. He’s back to his weight and even has gained 10 lbs.
He can hold his head up and also is learning how to balance so he can sit up.
Eventually they hope he can use a speaking board but that’s a long ways off.
We’re of course, praying for a total recovery for him....Better than he was before.
www.carepages.com is a place where you can get photos and his story. Put joshuaourwarrior is the title you’d use to view it.
