Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Wouldn't it be nice if we could just use some forks or knives when we run out of spoons? Hey, Greg, my grandpa used to eat his peas & corn with a knife; we kids thought it was amazing, because none of us could do it. (He also finished every meal by putting a piece of bread on his plate, pouring molasses over it & chowing down.) Anyway, if you can eat peas with a knife, maybe you can use one in a pinch for the spoon theory. Worth a try. Or maybe a spork would help a little bit, until your spoons are replenished. Now, I personally believe that silliness can improve any situation, so I hope this helps you when you read it. I actually hope that right now you are asleep, as it's 2am here in the great state of Indiana. Ramblin' RoseModerator A merry heart is good medicine.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 It is 1 am (after really) here in Texas. Upstairs has seemed to quieted down. Just about to go to sleep when this hit my phone. NP I am trying to program my sleep dreams . So I will not relive some bad memories. The easy part in combat is taking alive in defence of your on own life or of comrades'. The hard part is to live with it. The real bad memories is of what I have seen done to the Kuwait Children and parents at the hands of the Iraqie Replubican Guards. After seeing that I do cry an eye about all those ones that died on the Hiway of Death. But the kids that will be forever in my memory. If you want I will scan some of the good photos from that time. No combat photos or after action photos just the good ones . LIke sunset in the desert. Greg > > > Wouldn't it be nice if we could just use some forks or knives when we run out of spoons?

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Greg Jim, my other half, has PTSD also. His is from Vietnam. It is a scary thing and I feel for anyone who has to go through it. One 4th of July celebration he was sleeping when fireworks went off. I walked in to the bedroom and he tackled me and said down incoming. He really thought he was there. He still has a hard time sleeping without light or the TV going. Just anything to keep his mind from wondering to the times. Then when Deseret Storm came about he had to go there .. I know it was nothing like we have now but he was over there for 10 months for a 4 day war. He doesn't talk about it much, or Vietnam but It bothered him and he feels, as he has seen some terrible crap over there. I hope you as well as Jim can find some peace for yourself. I pray for all of our men and women who are at risk or who have been. I too know what this war is doing to all of our brave men and women. God Bless you and thank you for your service and for keeping us safe. Jackie Shhhhhhhh I think they are sleeping.............. > It is very very quiet today.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Jackie, Thank you very much, the real issue is the Prednisone I am taking for my neurosarcoidosis. Had the memories under control, I had I thought accept them. Then when I got on Prednisone, they came back with a vengence. I will not describe those memories to anyone. Just tell Jim that he is not alone and if it would help I would listen to him. If he thinks it will help he can email me krumdawg@.... Tell him I said thank you for his service.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Oh, heck, Greg, I'm sorry. I didn't realize the email messages would ping on your phone. I hope I didn't wake you up. I'd love to see some of your photos. Ramblin' RoseModerator A merry heart is good medicine.
