Thanks all,

Yea it was an awful time. I had started to post timeline here as we started it, then everything just rather blew up and I have no idea of what day what happened except mom's death. We also had a car accident the day of her viewing at the hospital and gave Lake and myself whiplash and back probs, and almost missed the whole thing. Yea and they waited THREE months to send the stupid RFE...

All I know was it was a bit TOO much getting a darned RFE at that time and I just put it off up til the deadline of another three months, I just couldnt deal. I know exactly what it was tho, I hadnt sent in last years taxes, since it was January and I didnt have them done yet. So on top of all that, had to get the taxes done before I sent it in. Yea, it was a totally horrid year.

I think Rhonda and myself are about the same time line, real close. Been awhile since I seen Elizabeth, Rhonda, Mindy, and all our old friends. I found this thread and was totally thrilled!

As for Lake and I, we get along great, no probs, except the man still never talks much. OH, and he JUST passed that goshdarned GED I used to complain about for the last three years. I must say, he kept at it and tried and tried and studied. It was so heartbreaking, as he had to have a total of 450 between all the test scores and he was raising it from like 420 ...TWO points at a time. His graduation ceremony is December 18th and I am SO PROUD of him.

So tell your men to keep after it!

My condolences to you both, good luck with Naturalization, and *woohoo* for Lake passing the GED

How is your health?

Hey

Didnt really mean to be a stranger, started posting last year when we were going thru that lifting conditions. We all need each other for all these crazy paperwork stresses, dont we? lol

Anyhow, then everything fell apart and I dropped out of here to do full time hospice care when mom was released.

Well we were getting this place fixed up, Yardie, and boy was it a hassle. Then, we got to looking at acreages in the country, I would love to have some critters running around, and we found a foreclosure.

So we went thru bidding on that for the last four months, we FINALLY got it, I mean they accepted our offer, and now our bank is holding us up, so thats a stress, darnit! We WERE due to close the 20th. Anyhow it will be so fun, and SO much work to do.

me and hubby wanted to rent this one out, but everyone is telling me we should sell, and sis wants to sell as well. So up in the air about it. We wouldnt live that far, 22 miles out of town, but we are not handy at fixing stuff up if it gets trashed, and we JUST put so much work into the darned thing! Isnt that the way it goes?

My health is much better, Jonesie, thanks for asking, and blood sugar seems to be in much better control too. Still tired all the time, doc did a full blood work up, I was thinking thyroid was off but it came back ok. But I feel pretty good as long as I dont overexert myself. I am hoping to have peacocks and some other birds at this new acreage so hopefully that will keep me fired up. In town here I have now have SIX pet chickens and they do keep me going, as I HAVE to get up to take care of them.

I used to love the Celestial Seasonings Antioxidant tea, and it would really give me a nice jolt of energy, but they changed the darned ingredients and its not effective at all now. Anyone have any other teas that are healthy and seem to fire them up? Tried Red Bull (not so sure thats so good for you tho, lol) and even IT didnt do a thing.

Well you all take care, we can file for Lake in Mid December. Sheesh, not sure I kept track of every trip out of the country, sheesh. And each job...ugh

Glad to see ya all.

Didn't even really cross my mind, Thunder, since we havent' been out of the country at all and he's had the same job almost 2 years now. I am not thankful for that.

Hi Jill!!!!!!

(((((Jill))))) Yeah its been a while. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Belated condolences.

But congrats to Lake. I remember how hard he worked on that GED. That talking thing ..... ah it is what it is.

My grandpa used to defend himself by saying "speak when you are spoken to - answer when you are called." It's a phrase usually directed to children - as in be seen and not heard. LOL

It's so good to hear from you and to know you are thriving!! I miss Iowa. Really.

Congrats Jonesie and Yaads(aka Yardiewife) and others who got their new greencards!

We are still waiting. Henry's mom is in the hospital, but he is afraid to travel without the new greencard.

I can't seem to convince him. Anywho, my good friend went to visit her and he called and gave us a good report (reports from family are "angsty"). He gave us a list of all that she said and did and my mom (a nurse) said those are all very good signs for recovery.

Anyone in touch with Squitto, tell her I said hi and I miss her!
