We just got sad news. Our granddaughter-in-law was in a car accident and lost the baby. She is still in the hospital with internal bleeding. If I disappear, I'm off to Colorado.

So sorry to hear that, what a tragedy.
Safe travels.
PF, I am so sorry for your/their loss. Prayers are going up all round and I am sending you big love and hugs.We just got sad news. Our granddaughter-in-law was in a car accident and lost the baby. She is still in the hospital with internal bleeding. If I disappear, I'm off to Colorado.

Thanks, I could use them. My sore throat is at its worst again (third time), my fibromyalgia is in overdrive and Dad is really not doing well. He just wants to come home, but feels awful (nothing physical is wrong with him except he has no strength), is not able to walk far on his own and doesn't seem to be able to reason that if he can get positive and work at getting stronger he can come home.Thank you, LP. Hugs back!
Addie, your advice is priceless. For heaven's sake, LET people help you! It makes them feel good, and you feel good. I have a blind friend (macular degeneration) who's had 3 hip surgeries. She only gets out once a week, when I help arrange it and get her to her bar-stool. When she first started needing help walking, I'd just help her myself. As the years go by, I've taken to asking any passers-by to give me a hand, holding doors open, etc. They (usually tourists) are always delighted to help! And they walk away feeling a warm-fuzzy, as do both my friend and I. I mean, I'll literally walk up to a stranger and say, "excuse me, would you hold this door open?" Everyone says yes, and everyone walks away with a smile. My friend would never have asked for help herself, but she's pushing 80 and needs it.
Sleeping in after going to a big fund raiser last night. It was the first one like that I have ever been too. It was not like I expected it to be.

As you (and so many others) have said to me more than once, you do what you feel you need to do. We are all here for you and Frank and the gang can hold the fort. Take good care of yourself and your family! Work and DC will manage!GDIL is out of the ICU as of 10 this morning. Grandson is home and sitting with her, she is barely awake, they haven't told her about the baby, yet. That will be when she is more alert this afternoon. Now it's down to if they need more people around. We will be deciding if we need to be there. I may just send Shrek down for a week.
Thanks, Dawg.Oh no, so sorry, PF. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family, and for you and yours too, LP.
It was good in the sense that it raised funds for the school & teacher salaries. But, it was very political & there seemed top be an uneasy stress about the evening. Not what I expected. I thought it would have been more about the community of people from church & school in a more social setting....in a good way, we hope?
i just had a listen to your grandsons' band, babetoo. it's a good sound--nice vocals and some bluegrass flavor to it, too (who she is). do you go to see them perform? you must be proud of those boys and their girls, too.
