Debbie,

Hi! ROFLMAO You are really a hoot! hey I can't believe all

the people that say the same as you about how big my little guy is!!! LOL I

guess no one really has poodles anymore? I mean the big ones. I love big

dogs! He is chocolate Brown and so sweet and playful. He eats 4 cups a day

unless we give him to many milkbones when he is a " Good Boy " LOL. Anyways,

The Duke Towers takes pets!!! And not only that you get the bottom floor if

you have one!! They have a beautiful pool and a full ktichen and I can't

wait! Don't tell dr.R How big Zack is or he may try to experiment on him???

Shhhhhhhhh! LOL Ask Goofygrits she LOVES him!! She even sent him a

burger in the mail!! He's her buddy too! LOL Thanks for the good luck wishes!

I appreciate that really! when is your date? I'll give you a full blown

account in detail when I get back! Have a good one! xoxoxox Margie Sc

Margie,

I am having my MGB on July 31. I will be arriving in Durham on 7/30 (or

maybe a day or two earlier if I can talk my mom into leaving earlier), and I

will be there until August 4 or 5. Maybe I will see you there? Or did you

say you are leaving on 7/30? I am hoping my brother will bring his laptop

with him so I don't have to miss all the email... Does anyone know if there

are local access numbers for AOL in Durham??

P.S. I think you are right about the full size poodles not being around

anymore.. You rarely see anything but miniatures, toys, and teacups. Cheaper

to feed, cheaper at the vet, and easier to smuggle into hotels...lol

So she could say, " That's my little Margie! " My grandmother was also a

Margaret. Her mom called her Maggie-May.

HI DEBBIE I AM STILL AROUND HAVE BEEN HAVING PUTER PROBLEMS I HAVE IT

WORKING GOOD ENOUGH SO I CAN GET BACK TO MY SARC FAMILY......QUINT

[Guest guest]

Debbie,

I’m

sorry you are still sad, I still get sad about my “past” too when I

think about it, and I try very hard to stay out of hospitals, my friends know

that, however I have to say that I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t

have my Kay business, some days I might do too much, but I try not to

book days back to back to much, or too much in a day, we have meetings every Tuesday

night, and I look forward to these meetings, we have a success event, we get

training in Skin Care and Make up and how to run a business, I love the people

part, but not too hot on the business part L. These women lift me up

all the time, they know what I’m going through, and are always there to

support me, I really think I would go crazy without it, I may never be a National

in MK that’s the top, but I hope to fall some where in the middle. Shoot

for the moon and you just might fall amongst the stars, a Kay saying. Amen.

There are so many things out there, I too have trouble multi tasking, but I give

my best! And they give back to me two fold. Debbie, I will keep you my

prayers, as I know that sadness weighs heavy on the heart! Love you, Marla

adapting one thing a day

Tracie & Terri,

I know this is an older post, but I am still going thru them. I

used to have an upper management job too which involved a lot of multi-tasking

and not enough hours in the work day. Even though it was time consuming,

I enjoyed all the challenges involved. (I have a type A personality

too.)

Tracie, I know you heard this story before, but once I became sick and

had to leave my job, it was very upsetting to me. I became very depressed

and even when I think aboout it now (its been 5 1/2 years), I still feel very

sad. I know there is no way I could handle that positioin because of

physical restraints. I don't think that I have completely subconciously

accepted it. I know, as you stated Tracie, that I am a different

person now, its just so hard to give up that feeling of acceptness.

It will take time , I guess. Thanks for the post of understanding.

Hugs, Debbie T. Co-Moderator

It is something I try to do but I cannot

Terri,

I totally

understand. I was into upper management at my jobs, so multi-tasking,

time management was essential.

Part of the

willingness to " give up " doing it all in a day, that " man, I

know I can just squeek this in " is that when I do that (and I still do

ocassionally) I pay for it with increased pain, fatigue, moodiness and I get so

worn down, I don't make sense-- so I know that is trade-off.

I have lived with

chronic pain for 25 yrs now, and sarcoidosis for the last 17. So I've had

years to figure out what works and what doesn't.

As long as we are

still trying to convince ourself that we've not lost that person we

" were " -- we still keep beating ourself up. It got to painful

for me-- so I had to surrender.

We all will come to a

place of acceptance, and what we can't do-- is to punish ourself when that

" day off " is needed. It just keeps you stuck, and that is actually

a tremendous amount of our physical pain.

Take care,

Tracie
