Re: How PF has improved my life - Hi Bruce

Yes, she is still insanely cool. There are 4 teenage boys living in her house

and 1 in Iraq for 9 more weeks. She has a small collection of boys from around

the world.

I remember reading a comment on this board sometime or other that basically said

I am not defined by my disease. And I'm not. I adjust and move on.

I had decided one night last week while Sherman was out of town that I was going

to allow an entire night of pity party. Got a pint of Cherries and

everything. It worries Sherman if he thinks something is wrong and I figured I

had earned it. Just about the time I got my jammies on and got comfy with the

ice cream I got called into work. The power in the building had gone off - not

cool for my servers anytime but especially not this close to April 15. And I

heard the voice of God say OH NO YOU ARE NOT - get off your butt and get on with

it. So I did.

We keep on keeping on. And thank God I don't have a collection of teenage boys

around!
