CeCe- thanks so much, what a wonderful thing to say! you have such a way with words to punch them right where they need to go! you've made me smile so big! it is so awful to have to deal with these negative emotions towards others . . . good to know we are all in the same damn boat. i so hope you will walk this balancing line soon, you are one of a kind! i hope you caught that egg!

Klee- yipeee! laughing to picture you laughing like a hyena and checking out chewbacca! i'm a han solo fan, myself. luke was just a whiner.

Shereejoy- thanks so much, and hugs to you. hope is so elusive for us all. sorry af came, hope the wine takes the edge off. for me, it is bourbon.

Ellie- saw your signature line about the melanoma, is everything okay?

Smiley- welcome to this thread, and good luck!

Mel- i too think kids are always darn messy! i hope you have gotten some answers already. i would hope the nurse could be a bit more helpful on the tele.

Judy- sounds like you have a good RE to take care of you. banned from ff? harumph. so sorry your aunt doesn't realize you will always grieve for Annabelle. it is so difficult for others to understand, and sometimes they try to protect us from our feelings by avoidance (as if that's going to work). hugs.

Kat- sorry re the bfn. dammit.
