I sent you a PM. Jgarr44460

Another upstate (Hudson Valley) NY'er here. I work for the school system and I am more excited than the students to have a snow day today. Well, maybe not. They had their regents exams cancelled.

I fell down my stairs two years ago in Nov. I cracked my rib and it hurt like hell. I thought I just bruised it and went a week with a considerable amount of pain before I ended up in the ER. I woke up and moved the wrong way and just about died from the pain - a shot of morphine and xrays...

I don't have any answers but my Mom, Dad and brother are/were alcoholics. My parents have both passed on and my brother is in rehab as I write -for the third time that I know of. He is 53. I hope he is successful this time but I have had to remove myself from the situation. It's just to painful...

Gayle - I can't believe how many of your "quirks" are mine also. I raised three grown sons with the same ones. - I have to add the R word (retard) NEVER allowed in my home. - The Nerf guns crack me up - NEVER above the neck here either. - Whenever we were at the park/playground, if the...

We're looking at 7-14 today. I work for our local school district and swear I love snow days more now than when I was a student. My oldest kids are home from college and I'm looking forward to being snowed in with them.

I am so very sorry you and your daughter have had to experience this. My Mom took her own life in the same way and I know how hard this is and will be for some time to come. I agree that although your daughter feels guilt for not returning his call she may have saved her own life by doing so. I...

That brought tears to my eyes also. Thanks for sharing.

I would have gone to college. I really regret not going but it was not promoted in my house growing up. I also wish I had married later than 21 years old - I do not however regret my three wonderful sons that went with the decision to marry so young.

I'm about 1 1/2 hours north of NYC. We normally go to a tree farm and pay about 35 - 40 for a 7 ft. tree. This year we went somewhere new and the owners would not let us pay. When they found out our son was home on leave from the Marines ( My sons and husband all came to get the tree) they said...

Reese, I am so sorry for what you are going through. My friends son put them through what you are talking about with your daughter. He was drinking, drugs. girls etc. He finally started dealing. They tried changing schools, counseling, college( the school kicked him out) - kicking him out of...

Congratulations! I am so happy for both of you. I know how hard it is to wait for news when it's so important to our sons. My son did DEP also but went to Marine boot so I can't help you with specifics of Air Force basic. The military has a way of changing by the minute so as they say in the...

I have been thinking about you. How did your son make out?

I'll be thinking of both of you today. My son went through this last July. He is now at ITB ( Infantry training battalion) at Camp Lejeune. This is just the first of MANY rollercoater rides you will be on when/if he joins. It's totally worth it though and if you ever need someone to "talk" to as...

I order from Robin also and she would not mind answering your questions at all.

I have another story I would like to share and hope you continue to stick to your guns. I have a brother (53) who has had his 5th , yes 5th DWI. Been in and out of rehab and jail many times. I was asked to help him over the years after our parents passed and did for a time. He moved in when my...

I shop all year as I see something on sale. I enjoy having my immediate family together at the holidays. This year though my youngest will be stationed who knows where with the Marines. I find out soon.

We have always used a brown soap you can find in the laundry soap area of the store. It is called Fels Napha (sp?) and it is a bar soap wrapped in paper. You just lather it up, apply to the poison ivy and let it dry. It drys out the poison ivy when the soap lather dries. It really does work.

Melanie - Yes, he is the last of my children to leave home.That doesn't help the emotions either. Peggie - My son will turn 18 July 20th. I know right now he is just in bootcamp and the "real" worrying will come after his special forces training when I find out where he is stationed. If...

I knew this day would be hard but it's really , really hard. He is my third and youngest son(Henry)who just graduated high school. He has wanted this since he was 8 years old. It is so hard to be a Mom sometimes and still support their dreams when your heart just aches to see them go. I am not...
