Love your dog pic, Colleen! I think that's not Poppy, though, what is that one's name? Yep, I've hugged my doggies today! Shirts for the fish? OMG, Fishy!!! Just worry about keeping your little Toby warm, the fish will do just fine on their own. :)

Hello everyone,

Things here have been very, very hectic. The actual reality of losing her 17 year job hit Cathy hard. Her emotionals finally poured out. Both of our children joined me as we enveloped Cathy with our love and support. I was so impressed how our family immediately came together. All of this enabled my dear wife to cleanse her soul of the heart break. That cleansing was like the fresh air after a wonderful spring rain. Cathy was then ready to work out the remaining month of her job and prepare for the unknown future. Suddenly, a perfect job opening was discovered right here in our city, less than 10 minutes from our home. Then the next challenge hit us. The extensive on-line application had to be submitted by 11:59 PM last night. Man, times have changed! No resume required since the on-line application was even more thorough. At times we doubted the three page application could be all input yet at about 7:30 last night the submit command was clicked immediately followed bcore dips conformation. To Cathy, me, Bonnie and Sean just overcoming these first tasks is a tremendous victory. Cathy getting that particular job will be great yet if not she has faced and overcome the first big hurtle. The Lord is so good to us! :)

I'm a part time "vegan" ha ha ha, just in case, I eat lots of raw fruit and veggies too! :) :) My sisters hate it when I say that! I tell them "different strokes for different folks".

They is a difference between vegetarian, vegan and raw vegan, and my sisters being "raw vegan" are always mad at me for eating what I want. I think that's because they deny themselves things they deep down really crave, so they "vent on me". I don't tell them what to eat, so why try to "pound" that vegan stuff into someone who clearly is not interested. That's why they "drive me" crazy half the time!

But I got to love and put up with the two of them ganging up on me cause their FaMiLy! And deep down they love me and worry, just like I worry about them being so pale and tied all the time. I think it would be sheer torture to just eat ONLY raw fruit and veggies and nothing else! No wonder they are "mad" all the time!

We are friends with a couple who are vegan, doomsday preparatist and normal cure advocates. Both are too slender and pale. The wife solely used acupuncture and natural remedies until she got seriously ill. After being rushed to the hospital she was told that natural herb she was using was making her illness worst.

When I was a little kid I ate mostly tuna fish w/Best Foods mayo all the time. You know what they said about tuna not that long ago..............that it was full of mercury.................I'm still alive and quite healthy and I glow in the dark too :LOL:
