That is some sad stuff there Shawnee.......If you still have some bricks left just insert them back.

Ice Cream Emergency!! Someone get Shawnee some ice cream!!

And someone trip that guy over there, I don't care if he is responsible for this or not... it'll be funny.

Shawnee just concentrate on what a good person you are for handing out scholarship money.

teehee

You know the worst part about it? When you KNOW you are standoffish, and you don't let anyone in, and you have your guard up all over, and someone comes along and urges you to let people in, almost faults you for isolating, then ends up hurting you.

Go figure.

Ummm, ice cream. I like Vanilla Chocolate Chip with just a smidgeon of Hershey's syrup.

Smidgeon? Pigeon. You want a pigeon of Hershey's syrup? That doesn't sound so appealing.

They put my Grammy (my last grandparent) in the hospital. I guess she was having difficulty breathing, and they want to run tests. Mom called to put me on warning, because as my dad said "She's 95. She's worn out."

She lived in her own home until just recently, when dementia demanded she needed more care.

She misses Gramps. They were married 55 years when he passed away, some 20 years ago. They were something else. Friends. Buddies. In love all those years.

My brother-in-laws brother, R, is 46. He is a lawyer in NYC for the legal aid society. He doesn't drink or smoke and is trim. He suffered a massive heart attack at a friend's appt. in Queens---took 20 min. for them (emt, docs) to revive him and then, b/c he has no insurance, they stabilized him then shipped him off to another hosp. He's in a drug-induced coma and on ice (to slow everything down)--he's been this way for a coupla days now. Everytime they try to warm him up--he seizes.

Did I mention that he is 46? did I mention he was in a 20 min. no-go zone?
