And she will try to tell us, "Oh nooooooo, I'm not addicted." LOL

[Mama_Bear]

Can we guess, or is it a surprise?

You can guess, but my lips are sealed. *grin*

[Mama_Bear]

And she is a spokeperson for the handicapped, as well as a peer counselor for others who become paralized.

Oh, my goodness! I did not know this. How proud of her you must be!

[The Mayor]

WOW!! God Bless her, and you.

Incredible, testimony.. She and all of you must have Great Faith and Trust in the Lord.

You really made me smile.

[deadhead]

Your daughter sounds like a remarkable woman. Bless her

[deadhead]

"And she will try to tell us, "Oh nooooooo, I'm not addicted."

LOL, and she will think we believe her ;-)

[LadyX]

Didn't respond right away because my younger son called from Florida.

Really, Sistah Nan - I (crossing fingers) am *not addicted* to Free Republic and The Finest - - the fact I am here so often is mere coincidence...:|:>))

(Besides...The Thin Man needs me as an ally in Certain Situations - LOL)

[WVNan]

I pray that you will be encouraged by her story. When she was teetering between life and death she was whispering, "never give up, never give up." She has commented that her accident was the best thing that ever happened to her, because before the accident she was totally self-absorbed living in her safe little bubble world. After the accident she has been stretched and has grown spiritually and her life is much more interesting now.

[WVNan]

See? She's already in total denial. Blaming it on poor Thin Man she is.

[Mama_Bear]

Still absolutely no discomfort so long as I do not cough or move suddenly, and there is no pain whatsoever. Didn't even fill the prescription for pain.

This is wonderful news! Happy ((((((((hugs))))))))!

[LadyX]

It's no wonder what she is with you for a mother, Nan.
All of us here know how very, very special a person you are, and you inspire us whenever you grace us with your appearance here.

good evening, Mama_Bear

Late getting here but I need to visit Louisiana. My sister and I visited there about 12 years ago. We had a wonderful time and spent some quality time together.

It was so humid in New Orleans when we arrived that we headed across Lake Pontchartrain and on to Baton Rouge.

[LadyX]

Thank you, Mama_Bear - -

"See? She's already in total denial. Blaming it on poor Thin Man she is."

LOL

[deadhead]

I have a new pet, and I have named him Harvey :-)

[WVNan]

Awww Gator, don't go being nice to me now after I just took a poke at ye....makes me look petty it does.

[WVNan]

Ah, a fighting fish.

[JustAmy]

My sister and I had dinner at Nottoway Plantation. It was beautiful.

We visited several plantations as we traveled the River Road for a couple of days.

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Amy. Don't ever apologize for being late....I know you have your hands full with your little niece and your P&P thread. Heaven knows I don't get over to your neighborhood often enough.

The summer humidity in the south is a horrible, isn't it?.....I felt pretty tough handling 115 degrees in the summer here, until I found myself in Orlando, Florida in the middle of July. I think it must be a matter of becoming acclimated. Us 'desert rat' types just can't handle it.

[Mama_Bear]

Hi Libby!! Always nice to see your colorful self here.

Have yourself a nice weekend, okay?
