Barb, You have my heartfelt sympathy. Yes, God does work in mysterious ways. How grateful you must be that you and your family are together at this time.

<<Hugs>>

Barb, I'm so very sorry. Our relationship as daughters with our Mothers can be sometimes complex, but we are always too young to lose them no matter what our age. May you and your family continue to strengthen each other and that strength be a lasting legacy of your Mother's life and love for you.

Barb,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish you and your family much peace and comfort during your sad time. I also hope precious memories will soon replace the sadness you are feeling. I'm sure it is a comfort to you to know she is at peace with no more pain and suffering.

With thoughs and prayers,
Shelley

Barb:

You and your family have my sympathy for the loss of your mother. It must have been a good feeling to have everyone together. We all need to lean upon others in times of sadness.

I hope you'll find peace and comfort.

Barb: I'm sorry sorry about the loss of your mother. There are no words that can make you feel better right now, but as they same time does heal us. My prayers are with you.

Rob · #22 08-02-2005, 10:06 PM

Barb - Very sorry for your loss. Having been a lurker in this thread I knew how much suffering this illness caused your mother and your entire family. Only the passage of time can make this any easier.

Barb,
Just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's passing... Please know that you and your family are in our prayers.

Well, this is a sad day for all of us here, learning of the death of Barb's Mom. I know she will rejoin us when she can. Meanwhile, our thoughts are with her.

Rachel, it's so very nice to hear from you! I'm delighted that you'll be able to spend more time here. Gang, Rachel was one of the original members of the tracking thread, and a delightful person with quite an adventurous life.

Peg, it's so very good to have you back after your trip to California. Wow, what a packed week it was! Yeah, lots of food for thought at the reunion. I think our generation may have been the first with the self-expectation that we could do "everything" or "have it all." I think the truth is that many goal oriented women didn't include themselves in the equation. Gads, I'm so glad you were there for your GD. What a blessing that you will be in her life more..... Anyway, welcome home, and indeed, we want to hear all about your other adventures!!

Alida, ack! The hex continues???? Dang!

Ilse, perhaps there'll be an offer just around the corner. But no matter what happens, or doesn't happen, take care of yourself, ok.

Donna, Judy (out yonder), TB, and everyone, have a good evening.

RQP · #25 08-03-2005, 06:50 AM

Oh Barb! I am so sorry for your tremendous loss! Your words were beautiful and strong, but most of all loving - and during a time when it is hard to feel some of those things. Bless you and your family....

KCTinter · #26 08-03-2005, 09:18 AM

Ilse, all this must be very frustrating for you. I know you had hoped that all would be settled before school started again. I am sending you a BIG Bear Hug! I'd stop those bioidenticals, too. $69/month is too much $ to throw away, especially now. Come on, Vets . . . a big group prayer for Ilse to receive a decent offer on her home.

Donna, are those fires out yet?

Peg, how wonderful you are! Your poor granddaughter has been through some rough times at a very impressionable age. I am glad she is getting counseling and the immediate crisis is over. I have never had to deal with babysitters. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to find someone you can trust with your children.

As for your deep thoughts on WHY we eat the wrong things, I have those same thoughts. I just never take the TIME to figure them out. I know Goddess raves about the Dr. Phil book. As she says, throw out the eating part and read the parts about why we eat the way we do. Next trip to the library, I am going to request a copy.

Rachel, what took you to Tbilisi? Do you like living there? I was lucky enough to have visited Prague in 1990. But I was thin then and didn't have to worry about low carb!

The hex may be lifting. Yesterday I walked into the house after my job and DH says: "What went WRONG today?" This job was the 4th install at a big home (Barb: Hallbrook). The owner is doing it little at a time. He called in the measurements. But he measured double-hung windows as one big pane of glass. Luckily, I was able to cut one piece of film into two pieces with enough to trim. So there WAS a glitch, but it was easily rectified. Plus, we did get an OK on another large job. AHA! We shall see what today brings. The adventure continues.

Well...................first of all, I have NO IDEA that there are so many lurkers on this thread!!! Yikes!!

I'm back at work and scheduled to do a funeral in a few minutes. Just wanted to check in and let you know that I seem to be on EDT now. Got up and did a mile with Leslie Sansone. Then had my "Maggies Cereal." It makes me really constipated. Anyone else have that? I've been buying Flax-o-meal for a couple of years. Everyone seems to rave about "Maggies Cereal," so I went to Whole Foods and bought the ingredients. It has a bitter aftertaste that I don't like. I don't know if I got the measurements of the ingredients correct or what. Anyhoo.....I thought I would experiment with less flax in the next batch. I drink a whole lot of water.

Peace, Peg

teelbee · #28 08-03-2005, 01:34 PM

Peg, the bitter after taste from your cereal is likely due to rancid Flaxseed meal. I bought Bob's Red Mill flax meal, which used to be really good, from 3 different stores in May - each was bittertasting. I got 2 different bags from Whole Foods - both bad. Remember me ranting about that? I was so mad because the whole batch of cereal was inedible.

However, Whole Foods unground flaxseed (in the bulk section) has been fine. My ancient Braun coffee grinder does an excellent job of turning the seeds into meal in a few seconds. My food processor did not do as well.

teelbee · #29 08-03-2005, 01:37 PM

Barb, I am so sorry for your loss. You have handled this with such grace and bravery. I send my sincere wishes for your family's serenity and sense of well-being at such a difficult time.

~~~Terry

(ps... I wrote a longer posting yesterday, but seem to have lost it. I do that a lot lately)

tiashanty · #30 08-03-2005, 02:51 PM

Good morning all....I didn't get here yesterday for a post as I knew I wouldn't. Long weekends really mess up my week. This still feels like Tuesday to me. Weather is still very hot, but the nights are cooler so at least we can sleep.

Alida: No, the fires still aren't out. It's going to take a long time for that. The one nearest us is still growing, but it's on the other side of the river and in really rocky, steep terrian. Hard for the firefighters to get to it.

Peg; Your poor grandaughter. I'm so glad that she's getting help, and that you are going to be near her to help. No one can love like a grandma!! I loved your idea about taking the girls to a photographer and letting them dressup. I'm going to borrow that for when my grandaughter is a little older. (she's just 5)

Well, wonder of all wonders happened last night. Dh got home from work before me and was planted in front of the TV as usual. But, then he told me he was making supper!! I sure wasn't about to argue so I headed outside to cut the grass and water the flowers. He made the most wonderful jumbo shrimp salad. I could have eaten the whole bowl. That guy surprises me sometimes. He's a good cook, just not very motivated. (Actually, I think he's just spoiled). lol My little Japanese Chin thought she had gone to heaven too....she loves seafood.

I think I'd like to find that Dr. Phil book too. I don't really have too much of a problem anymore eating the wrong things...I just think about eating every time I'm not doing something. Must be a comfort issue or something. Oh, and then there's the emotional eating, and the bored eating. *Sigh* Lets just face it, I like good food. I don't think there's any cure for it.

Now that it's been on the news that Atkin's has gone into bankruptcy protection there are all kinds of people that are saying it's because it's a terrible diet. They think we are being deprived of food. I don't understand why these people don't do their homework first and open their mouths later. I don't look pale and skinny, just plain healthy. I almost got on the phone to the radio announcer yesterday and gave him a piece of my mind, but remembered that I was at work and yelling isn't nice in the workplace. lol
