even the 24 ratting gold affects you?

I am allergic to nickel. I was never able to wear any costume jewelry or silver but could wear gold. I can wear gold necklaces still and rings. When I was a teen I'd coat silver rings inside with clear nailpolish. I cannot wear any pierced earrings. At first I could wear them for a day and then not for a week or so. Now within an hour the skin gets infected and takes a long time to clear. Sadly my DD has the same issue.

Why I do have a feeling that you are a Bob ross fan?

I've never had anything made out of 24 carrot gold. So, I can't say. I can't afford it either!

I watched his show for years, but I don't paint the way he does. I build up layers of colors, and the let them dictate where it takes me. Sometimes I'm surprised at the out come. He was such an inspiring person, I appreciated his love of those little squirrels.Why I do have a feeling that you are a Bob ross fan?

Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month. The day after she passed away my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so, and she dictated these words:
Dear God,
Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog
even though she got sick. I hope you will play with her. She likes to swim and
play with balls. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her you will
know that she is my dog. I really miss her.
Love, Meredith
We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith
pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would
take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if
God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.
Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside
was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.' Taped to the inside
front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope.
On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:
Dear Meredith,
Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help and I
recognized her right away. Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with
me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we
don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your
picture in so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep
and have something to remember Abbey by.
Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you
write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have.
I picked her especially for you. I send my blessings every day and
remember that I love you very much. By the way, I'm easy to find.
I am wherever there is love.
Love, God
Yep, a bit misty here.
Also, I'm pretty sure you remember that Abbey was the name of the last Female Black Lab that we were very attached to, that passed a coupla' years ago.

I have no idea whether he has cognitive issues or not...he's 25 years older than me, so I don't know much about him from when he was young except that he was a bit of a rebel. Like...he didn't like long hair, but his mom hated long hair so he refused to cut his, just to make her made. I don't think he was a high flyer, but he must be good with his motor skills, or at least with his hands, because he's a mechanic. He has his own business building hotrods.So glad to hear he made it!
Does he have any physical/cognitive issues.
Physically, DS is fine. He can read like a maniac, but, has serious problems with writing and math.
He also struggles with situations regarding time and space.
As a parent, it's so hard to see him struggle, but, we just keep swimming...!
It really is hard to watch your child struggle! DS has some issues with motor skills and his emotional/social development is delayed so he struggles to make friends. No one wants to play with him. It broke my heart last year on their class trip. They had a double decker bus and of course all the kids want to sit up top...very coveted seats! He was one of the first ones on the bus, so he got a seat up top and the bus filled and filled and filled and kids went back downstairs because they didn't want to share with my son. He's the "weird" kid who cries all the time. So hard to see.

I'm so sorry that you and your son has to go through this. Kids can be so cruel. I hope that he has a much better class next year.

I love that you wear your sweatshirt to town meetings. I'm beginning to think that the governing body's want to regulate every area of our lives.
Our little Hamlet was a perfect place to raise a family (minus our church) and little chance of kids getting into dumb as everyone is known here. After being here now over 30 years we are still outsiders though my children have birth right citizenship. Most residents and employees know Walt by name. That said most of our leaders are just nuts and so much happens for the good of them now vs the good of the community.

Although DS has no serious motor/fine motor skill issues anymore, he is awkward in many social situations.
That being said, he has always been very extroverted and has made and maintained a few good friendships over the years.
But, yes, him and the other kids that were in his special classes in school were also stigmatized to a degree.
Although, there was never any really serious bullying.
In many ways, you'd never know there was anything different about him until you got into a serious conversation with him.
And yes, always difficult to watch one of your kiddos struggle.

I hope you all will allow me one more indulgence, we had a lot of covered bridges in Indiana, and my love of the ocean...
This is the last, I promise. A whimsical moment in my life.
