please help

Oh Lisa, don't know what to say about you and Tony,  sometimes hard to read men,  I guess your right just need to talk to him,  I mean it can't be all bad,  he was with you all weekend,  maybe it's just that "cold feet' thing guys sometimes get.  Sending good thoughts  your way. MR Right is out there for you I just know it. 

I just wanted to pop in quick this evening to say we had a great day carving pumpkins and celebrating Jaclyns B'day,  but I got a great surprise as well.  Amanda and SIL have choosen the babies name.  It is going to be Ella Catherine Mellott.  I am pretty honored and touched,  CAN YOU SEE THE GRIN FROM EAR TO EAR.

Ya'll were busy this weekend. I can't remember everything that has gone on.

Welcome to all the new people on the yellow brick road to OZ.

I don't know if I said anything last week about the local Race for the Cure that was on the 17th. It was amazing. There were over 2100 people registered, the largest race for this affiliate in the 10 yrs they have been organized. I have been participating since 2001 so this made my 9th race. They had a booth where, if you were missing a pin, you could finish out your set. I was missing my 2005, my mom, my husband and myself picked up that pin so I now have 3 of them. I have added one and this years pin to my wall hanging in my office. My sister and I are working on my halloween costume for the office contest. This year I am a 'belly dancing girl'. the main part is perriwinkle blue satin with light purple crystelette (sparkly sheer) skirt overlay, over the breast area of the top, and the face veil. I am making a hat with a ponytail coming out of the top similar to 'I dream of Jeannie' but I will basically be the evil twin of Jeannie. Speaking of my sister, both herself and her husband have found jobs that originally were supposed to be part-time but have turned into full time! They will both qualify for insurance after they reach their 90 day period.

Cathi, I am glad that Jaclyn want's to help out the single parent. Our church is making the Christmas shoe boxes of small goodies to take to the Shelter Home for abused women and their children, as well as looking into doing the same thing for other families. Last year we made some quilted bags that we stuffed with personal care items and school supplies for the Shelter home. The people at the Shelter were touched that we did that. We do try to do things every other month for the Shelter. My quilt guild is making baby blankets, and sheets for the Crisis Pregnancy Center and quilts in all sizes for the Shelter Home as well.

Sue about the clock, Hawaii also doesn't change their clocks. that being said, I had purchased a 'smart clock' about 2 yrs before they changed the dates to change the clocks. I woke up Sunday morning looked at my clock and thought it was 7:30, I went to the living room and the VCR also said it was 7:30. I didn't look at my cell phone, then when I turned on the TV for the news, Good Morning Saturday morning was on, It comes on at 8:00. It was then I realized that my clock and VCR had turned themselves forward one hour and I was late for Sunday School because it takes an hour for me to get Donald out of bed and ready for church.

This weekend there was a big rock slide on I-40 between Asheville and Knoxville at NC mile marker 3 that has closed the interstate for at least a month while they clean up the slide. There is a detour around the slide that will add 60 miles onto any trips Donald has to take if he needs to go North that the company doesn't pay for since it was an 'act of God'. Fortunately yesterday he went up I-77 to go North.

Sue,

 I had my palm read many years ago, when Olivia was about 4 yrs old.  I have to admit, very much of what she predicted came true for me! It's a little eerie to think about, but some people have the "gift" and I think they can feel things about others.  Were you sad when you heard some of the things, esp. the hospital part??

Sheila...what a great turn out for your race.  I am attending the ACS 's race this Saturday in Orlando.  Olivia has decided to stay for it!! So, her and her g/f (housemate) and her mom who is flying down with me...will all do it together!

Wow.  Kind of creepy, Sue.  I've always wanted to see a psychic or someone of that nature.  I'm kind of afraid of what he/she would say, though.

Lisa, I'm sorry things are still a little strange between you and Tony.  Maybe there's something else going on with him that has nothing to do with you.  I was so hoping you'd found your soul mate.  I'm not ready to give up on him, and I'm sure you're not either.  When are you seeing him next so you can talk to him about it?

Cathi!  Ella is my mom's name!  I love that they're honoring you by giving her the middle name Catherine.  She's going to be such a special little girl!

It's a dreary, rainy day and I just feel like going back to bed.  Blech!

Have a great day, everyone!  I'm thinking  of you, AE.  Hope you get great mammo results!

Hugs,

Karen

Sue....yes, I would think the same way that you are now.  But...honey...you know that at some time your Dad will pass, and that is almost an easy call for the reader.  She said in your 40's.  How old are you now?  You will have many more years with your sweet father.

I know Sue...just hearing things like that is tough to swallow.  But...they also can be way off on their predictions...and it could be when you are in your 50's!  I know one of my predicitons from years ago, was that there was another child in my life..and it was a boy. Well..I never had anymore children after Olivia. Then when Dan and I divorced...I thought that prediction was because I would marry someone with a son. Well, I did..you know the jerk...with the A$$ for a son...but that was not the "boy" that was coming into my life...it was my grandson Matthew. So that was almost 10 years after my reading!

Sue, it's a pretty good bet that someone in their 40's might come into an inheritance, (even if it's a small one from a distant relative) and the chances that there could be some connection to a single level house are pretty good too since many people who are having health and mobility issues move into a single level house even if they didn't live there all along. 

Most people with "the gift" do have a hightened sense of awareness, but that also means that they are really good at reading your body language.  They notice your reaction to the mention of your mother, and if your face brightens, or shows concern at the mention of your father.  These are subltle reactions that you may not even be aware of, but how you react to her words and actions can tell her much much more than any cards.

She probably noticed and amplified things that you were already feeling on a subconcious level, rather than giving you any information that is actually new to you.  You've been worried about your Dad.  If you make an effort to spend time with him now, you will be left with no regrets when he does eventually pass, and we know that will happen eventually, just hopefully much later rather than sooner.

Here's hoping someone you barely remember leaves you a small ceramic cottage in their will so you can stop worrying. 

Sue, I agree with the others about not letting what the card reader had to say. My husband is one of those who has the hightened sense of awareness that PatMom spoke of. He doesn't necessarily know the future but can tell when somebody is lying (politicians!) or not telling the whole truth by reading the body language and looking them in the eye or advoidance of eye contact. When my son wrecked my new car, he said he was driving it, but donald knew he was hiding something. It took several weeks for John to admit that his girlfriend was driving the car to Donald but he didn't tell me until last year (almost 6 yrs later).

Geez.  I'm sorry, Lisa.  I don't know why men are so often committment phobes.  Rhuel was the exact same way---hot and cold, hot and cold.  Sheesh!!!  Men !!

I agree with everything the others have said about your reading, Sue.  Even if she was talking about your dear dad, you'll probably have many more years with him!

Hugs,

Karen

Wow I've missed a lot! What a nice read.

Lisa, some woman who was the author of some book...don't you love my precision...said that if she ever meets her soulmate she will run as fast as she can in the other direction. Lasting relationships are built on being able to work, play, agree, disagree, cooperate...all pretty mundane. Finding a soulmate is exhilirating, exciting, magical. Is that a solid foundation for a life partner? Her ideas really took me aback. I don't know how I feel about it, but in my experience wondrious infatuation always fades, and what is left isn't always what is wanted. Sorry to philosophize. Life is so complex. 

I spent 6 hours this evening immersed in records. The Beatles. Pink Floyd. Marvin Gaye. Elvis. Carpenters. Captain and Tenille. Harry Nilsson. Eagles. Gordon Lightfoot. Average White Band. Grunge. Rock. Garage. Alternative. Raunchy. Classical Jazz..it's all there. I'm amazed and exhausted. So much more I wanted to say but I am falling asleep and have a stress echo tomorrow so better get to bed. More later. Love you guys!

Hi all,

Barb - so good to see you - great advice to Sue & Lisa.

Jane - waving hello - it is raining here as well - and getting colder.

Judie - I would love to see your son's collection.  I have quite a few old Beatles albums i have collected over the years.  Are you selling his collection ?  That is a monstorous job for sure.

Well UB had the scan - now we wait. 

Love ya's.
