Thanks, all. I really am okay. I mean, it's going to be sad off and on for a while, but ... it will be okay. I was only about six weeks along; it could have been much worse both physically and emotionally.
Todash, please accept our condolences. Never mind that "only 6 weeks".... a child that is loved and lost is just that ... My heart goes out to you both ... sending as much love and hugs as we can send your way ...

A few years ago, my family was in a car accident--hit by someone who ran a red light. Car was totalled, threw my back out again, BUT emergency room visit showed BH had TREMENDOUSLY elevated blood pressure. Got home, had it checked again, and yep, terrible hypertension. He's treated it and is doing fine now, but without that accident the chances he'd be dead of a heart attack or stroke right now are very, very high.

So thanks, stupid person-who-thought-they'd-beat-the-light. Without you, I'd be one husband (and one kid) shorter. :)
That truly is a silver lining ...

Hey hey, hey hey hey, hey I ain't bein ' rude, I swear it (yeah yeah, butt for the record, you don't have a clue just how much that confuses, meo_O), I want to respond to each and every one of y'all, I do I do I truly do, stuff's just confuzzeled more than, um, normal?...yeah okay, let's go with, "normal":idea:.
Okay so here's the thing, things are different around the ol' homestead, been gettin' differenty for a while, not in the average everyday gettin' a little different by barely even noticed unless your lookin', increments, kinda way, but more the nonagenarian everyday if your so lucky type things, gettin' different at the drop of a Pat's hat, gah-ahh-lly suuuhprize suuuhprize, kinda way.
So my time has been juggled & rejuggled, and even jarred and pickled by Gherkin, is what I'm sayin' , but I'ma gonna try and get on here more, perhaps on some kind of a *gulp* schedule, maybe some times between done for the night and the start of a new day, you know, depending on medication regiments, um, mine, not Mama's:big_grin:
Think it's the only way I can pull it off, and one fine Flakey, of the most secret world domineering, New Zealand Flakies (Flakeys?..hmm, whatever), she has kindly offered up a swell pat'ent pending time management idear, to have me, what was that again, Flake, muzzled?... gagged?....curfew-ed?...eh, fine ideas all is what I'm thinkin'.
I'll figure it out, I do that sometimes (squeal that to the masses and I'll find the time to hunt ya down), so now ya'll have been duly warned, so no whinin's:shh:.
Oh yeah, and the silver lining, well let's see, whattya's think about that if you see me on the board when the moon is nigh, or high, depending on your state, geographic or mental makes no never mind to me, you can tell me to shut the hell up and get my fat asshat to bed:encouragement:.
Yeah mm-hmm, that should work out just swell:facepalm:

Awwww Pat.... you make me sound terrible. :sad: (Or really hott, can't you just see the leathers, spiked boots, long flowing hair and cruel cracking whip?)

But really... I hope you understood my message on FB meant that I was looking for ideas to get you back here more often, it'd break my heart if I thought you took me any other way.

Flake, with PITH you have to read between the "words". In no way do I think he took what you said other than to help him get more time on the MB. You have an understanding of time management, so I am sure it will be a help to him. ;):)

It's okay Spidey, it's probably just my own issue :) --it might be the result of a compounding thing... as I've been feeling a little like I've been targeted recently for just 'doing the job'. My outer shell isn't very tough when you get down to it and the soft stuff inside may have been leaking out a little lately.

How's that for a visual? :wink-new:
