Awww, its ok. I know how busy things can get. But this place is my refuge. I need to be here. These people do wonderful things for my mindset. Yes it was a while ago I wrote that = ( My Siamese cat, Kaylee died in July from unknow causes. We spent over $2,000 on her and she's gone :'( She kept me company when the boys went back to school. I help out my 87 yr old Mom too. Just come here when you can. Its sure to make you feel better.

HI LAURA!!
well i;ve been busy. I have a project out-of-state, on weekends I am home and I am renovating the house, and Lisa is due the first week in December with our first son.

GREAT news about your son, I hope his travels are safe and he's home now!

Wow, I am envious of your numbers. How did you get them to come down so much. Do you take a Statin ? Mine aren't bad but could be better. I also have 3 kids, all boys ... 30, 27, and 21. The 2 oldest recently married '07 and '08 and I now am a "Nanny". My grandaughter was born April 27th. My 21 yr old goes to Penn State. I also have a 21 yr old foster son who goes to a small state school nearby and plays football there...... and a noisy Siamese cat, Kaylee. Glad to meet you altho you seem like you do have a lot of friends. I just started on here last week. Its nice to know other people care.
