Guest guest Posted September 22, 2000 Report Share Posted September 22, 2000 Thanks for the response - it in no way has swayed my decision to proceed with this. I've definitely done my homework, have insurance approval, will be sending in my packet next week. I just was curious as to what others would have to say.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Sorry, I just realized that I may have answered you question about the abbreviation incorrectly. My kids were all standing right by me making a ton of noise, and I realized that I may have heared my screen reader incorrectly. If you asked what dccc means, it is dry curd cottage cheese. If you asked what BTVC means, it means Elaine's book " Breaking the Vicious Cycle " . Meleah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Barbara Losing power makes me very nervous too. I remember losing power so much growing up in NC from Ice Storms, sometimes for 3-4 days at a time. It helped considerably when we got all underground wiring but still the major lines and transformers were exposed. > > Sorry you are having a " low " day, and glad the song made you smile. My two dogs have been all over me today; we keep losing power because of the snowfall and that makes the dogs very nervous. But I love 'em! > B >  > Barbara McD > PF--Sept 08; Sjogren's--Apr 09; Reynaud's--seems like forever > Beautiful Western NC >   > Counting my blessings: #4 - Softly falling snow. >  > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Gascoigne michelle.gascoigne@... > To: Breathe-Support > Sent: Fri, December 18, 2009 6:00:20 PM > Subject: For > >  > That is a great little song.!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 We live a little bit up the side of a mountain. Some time back, my husband was just starting to recover from prostate surgery, when something happened that required going to the ER. Well...... we had to call Rescue, because we cannot get out of here due to the steepness and the curves. What a ride that was. The ambulance driver, while trying to make a left turn, ended up doing a wheelie instead. We drove to the hospital at maybe 15 mph, the roads were so slick. So, when we start having power drops, I get worried because we really can't get out of here, and if we have no power, we have no heat. Such fun!
