    A girl I graduated with was on her way home on a plane headed for logan, she fell asleep and never woke up.  Her sister waited for her to call to pick her up at the airport, instead she gets a call to come and identify the body.  OMG she was only 61.  I have lost so many classmates it's not funny.

    I have a question for you ladies.  Regarding the calling hours and funeral for DD's classmate, she thinks it's okay for her to go to the calling hours, but thinks it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go to the funeral.  She thinks if she goes, his family will think she was one of his best friends and she doesn't want to give anyone the impression that she was a closer friend than she was.  I think people appreciate it when people go to the funeral - especially since they are usually during the day during the week and a lot of people can't go because of work.  I would think people would like to have a full church. 

    What do you think?

    To me it would seem the other way around - calling hours for a more private expression, the funeral to support the family.

    I would go to both.  Such a traggic situation, I'm sure the place will be packed with kids.

    She lives in Germany and was coming over here to visit family and we think she had a blood clot.

    Wow!  That's scary.

    I feel like we are so busy this summer.  I can't seem to get through everything in a day.  I stopped by Lowe's after work yesterday to buy a gallon of paint with all intentions of painting my sewing reoom last night.  Things went off track when I got home, and got nothing I had planned accomplished.

    That's so awful, Deb.

    It seems nothing I ever plan ever gets done so I've stopped planning to do things.  But you are much better than I am, Meece - you'll get that room painted in no time.  When you're done, can you come over and help me get some rooms painted? - eh - who am I kidding - this house needs so much work, I don't think it will ever get done.  I just want to move out.  But I have a feeling these kids are going to be living here for quite a while longer, so I'm stuck here.

    chris - we had some friends that had adult kids that wouldn't move on---They told the kids they were selling the home and they would be on their own.  When it sold they moved into a one bedroom apartment and never let the kids in the apt with aything but the clothes on their backs. They later bought their dream retirement home but by then the kids had their own places.

    On the other hand we bought a house that came complete with a teenager.

    I probably should explain, we bought DH's family home and we invited his much younger brother to stay as he was just starting college on the other side of the state and would only be home for vacations and holidays.  It was the only home he had ever known and it didn't make sense for them get a larger, more expensive apt for him to be there 3 months a year.

    He was a great kid and it worked out wonderfully.  DH had always been like a second Father to him and that helped too.

    I'll have to keep that strategy in mind if our kids try to stay here too long.  DD is 18 and DS is only 16 (almost), so we have a ways to go yet.  I would like them to go to grad school, so I'm figuring they will be in and out for another 8 yrs at least...so no getting rid of this mess of a house anytime soon for me.  lol    It's nice that things worked out so well for DH and his brother. 

    DS is taking a Java class this week - he said he's glad he's not getting graded.  I guess he won't be working on any miracle medical advances like that 17 yr old girl any time soon... oh well.  I hope something inspires him in the near future.  He most likely won't be able to make a living playing video games.

    Your home??????????????  YAY!!!!!!!!!!!  Hope you had a blast.  I will check out the pics.  I have seen a few on Christines page.

    Feel better Sandy.  I love the 'apparently I'm depressed'.  I hope the meds make you smile.

    My gym had a camera crew there today filming one of my instructors whom I grew up with.  SHe is going through Chemo for BC and still teaches piloxing.  They filmed her and the entire class.  Good for her!

    Welcome home, Sheila!  Sorry to hear about the boating accident.  Too many losses.

    Sorry to hear about the TM's - hope it isn't indicative of anything besides your having been off chemo for surgery...  Hope the new med helps you to have more energy so you can get up and about! 

    Piloxing - had to google it.  Still piloxing through chemo?  Wow.

    My brother called this morning.  The little brother of one of our high school pals took his life this week.  So Sad!  

    Went to FB for pics, and didn't find any!  I don't spend much time there, so maybe I jsut don't know where to look.
