Why have I never heard of or thought of using plastic dish pans for stuff under the sink? Sounds like a good idea to me. I'll get some as soon as I'm well.
I wait all winter, and put up with spring training, until Baseball Season gets here. WHY northern teams don't start south of the Mason-Dixon Line or in domed ballparks to start the season is beyond me. Sadly, no Cleveland Indians game today. Hope we get to play the Red Sox each of the next three days so we don't have to figure out shared days off during the season. Doesn't look promising.
Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.
Apparently, the schedule has been set up via a computer system the last several years. I guess "Watson" figures if the weather doesn't bother him, it won't bother us.
Oh, bother...
Dear CCL,I'm in tears tonight. I was a Mentor in my writing forum, but they decided to take that away.
They don't think I'm mentally up to the job, and it isn't fair, for I mentored several folks about their work. I was always kind and helpful.
I guess that nurse isn't the only one who thinks I'm retarded. Wow, this hurts.
Dear CCL,
That breaks my heart. My late wife was brain injured, and I can understand the frustration you feel. It is not fair for you to be treated that way.
I'm here for you too {{Joyce}}. The SC is right, don't let them get you down, but it must hurt so much to be treated so badly. If you fell and broke your body most would give you time to heal. How ignorant people can be.
Oh Joyce, I am so sorry this has happened. Hugs from Wyoming.
That's terrible, CCL, so hurtful. {{{hugs}}} from here along the river too.

Dear CCL, thank you so much for your kind thoughts. I lost my wife in 2005, and now have a new life with Kayelle.Oh no! I'm so sorry. ((HUGS)) for you, and I'm so sorry to hear of your wife's passing. Thank you soooooo much for saying that; I appreciate you so much. I didn't feel it was fair, either. I need challenges, and it's gone now. Thank you for sharing about your wife. I am sorry for your loss, and it must have hurt you to post this. Thank you so much.

You do not get over a loss, but you get past it. My wife was afflicted with the same thing that killed her father, but recovered enough to live another 12 years. She died from cancer, which was not a result of her brain injury.
When my wife was in ICU, the nurses would look at me and sadly shake their heads. A few months later, my wife went back to the ICU and gave the nurses "the finger"
I'm sorry to see this, CCL, but I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here. Maybe they took you off the mentoring job because they thought it would hamper your recovery. Perhaps they did it because they think that giving you that extra time will help you recover faster. Whether or not that's their intention, I hope you get back to doing what you enjoy soon.I'm in tears tonight. I was a Mentor in my writing forum, but they decided to take that away.

SC, we just had a death in the family two days ago. I was very close to her mother and I know what it is like to lose a child. Thank you for those words. I have been struggling to find the words to say to her. And your words are perfect. She will be hearing them from me tomorrow. Thank you very much.

You are welcome. At some point in the future, I remember the words of a mother who lost her child: "Just because you have moved forward, it does not mean you have left the ones you lost behind."SC, we just had a death in the family two days ago.
