I'm an Ambassador in Misc JoeUser Forums

It's official. I'm an Ambassador. I even have a nametag with my new status on it. Training went well and was very informative. I came out of it with a crate full of materials to disperse; pens and wound measures and pill boxes and booklets and brochures and shirts and hats and bumper stickers and all kinds of other stuff. We also found out that each of us was hand-picked. Out of the 100+ volunteers that the hospice has working for them,

I pray sometimes that you're wrong, but I pray more often that he will realize how lucky he is to have you, and I pray for his happiness and yours. Thank you for your prayers, 'Miah. I pray that I'm wrong too.

My heart speaks. in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Sometimes when I wake in the night and can't fall back to sleep I lay with my ear close to your back, following your breath. I listen to your heart's lub-dubbing lullaby and try to let it lull me back into slumber's gentle embrace. I'm always amazed when I hear your heart beat. Not because it's beating, although I'm suitably impressed with the human body and it's perfect imperfections, but because I think that I can hear it saying my name....'Ka-ren, Ka-ren, Ka-ren'....</P

They all look so big now... in Blogging JoeUser Forums

SO, AngelaMarie has had her baby Link Because she was a few weeks early, she's pretty small. Like not quite 6lbs small. All of the clothes I got for her look HUGE now. She'll be swimming in them; the arms and the legs will be drooping off the end of her little limbs! Even the hat that I made for her little bean will probably come down to her nose! That's ok, though. She'll grow into them.&

Sweet....where do you get your wool? If online, what addie I get the wool at Michaels, but Wally Mart is carrying some Lion brand 100% wool now too. eBay is where I get all the other yarn I buy.

Seventeen articles of insanity in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Seventeen articles of insanity. Link Seventeen of them. It would be somewhat tolerable if they were interesting and informative, but as it is they're basically the ramblings of someone who appears to have lost touch with reality. Isn't there anything that can be done about it? A couple of these I can handle....a dozen or so I might be able to ignore....but this is just ridiculous. Help, someone?

Betrayed by my body in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

Ever since I was a teenager I've had issues with my reproductive organs. I didn't start menstruating until I was 14, and when I did I lost so much blood each month that I was perpetually anemic. I had ovarian cysts that I was hospitalized for and was in so much pain that at times I couldn't walk. It was miserable. I thought that having babies would straighten my hormonal issues out. I was wrong. It got worse. My body, instead of settling down

That last photo of the yarn hanging to dry has a photo of me wearing my Brownie uniform. I was 7, and very proud that I was a Brownie. Brownies are an organization similar to the Girl Scouts; young girls between the ages of 7 and 10 are eligible to join. Once they turn 11, they become Girl Guides. I was both a Brownie AND a Guide, I stopped attending when I was 15 after winning many badges and prizes with my troop at various survival competitions.

Dyeing yarn with Koolaid - my experience in Art JoeUser Forums

I've been wanting to try to dye my own yarn for ages, and I decided that yesterday was the day to do it. I bought some white merino wool at the craft store and some packets of cherry and grape Koolaid at the grocery store. I wound the yarn around two dining chairs and then tied off where I wanted the colors to be with some darker acrylic yarn (acrylic won't take dye; it has to be animal fiber like wool or alpaca or angora). I wanted my yarn to be self-striping and whilst I

It is sad that all do not know the truth about you. I understand your anger. I am sorry it had to come out. Ach, not everyone is going to like me and I'm cool with that.

Lying liars and the lies they tell in Blogging JoeUser Forums

*this article was written as I was trying to calm down after being angered by something. Please excuse any spelling or grammatical errors!* I think that we've all told lies at some point in our lives. Sometimes we lie to cover our asses. We've done something wrong and, rather than be caught, we make up a lie. Sometimes we lie to spare someone's feelings. When someone asks us "does this suit me?" or (and I'm sure that the guys wh

It is perceived because you really don't know all of the details. No-one really does, not even those directly involved. We never have all of the facts, and I find that when we jump to conclusions about anything, that mistakes get made. Who said anything about jumping to conclusions? These men have been tried, convicted, had their appeals

Reply to Scooby-Doo and Guy Fawkes in XBOX JoeUser Forums

Ahh yes, Guy Fawkes night, aka Bonfire night. I LOVED that particular holiday when I was a kid. Dad would buy a bumper pack of fireworks and we'd stand at the bottom of the garden, past the compost heap and the chicken run, shooting off bottle rockets and making letters and numbers in the air with the sparklers that came with the pack. Just because it came to mind, here's the rhyme that we were taught as kids about Guy Fawkes: 'Remember, remember the 5th of

Shouldn't you be doing the best you can, regardless? in Misc JoeUser Forums

There's a Burger King about 1/4 mile up the street from my house. I don't eat there much, mainly because I don't care for BK food much, but also because it has a history and a reputation for gawd-awful customer service. The time before last that we went there, we waited 30 minutes for our food before asking for a refund and going elsewhere. This evening we're watching our neighbor's kids, so we decided to treat them to BK. I'd seen commercials for the Italian chicken
