Well, then I have to retract my former words. There may unspoken rules to the "jealousy love contract". You can guard your love jealously. Protect it jealously. For me jealousy is when a man or woman prjects their sick behavior on you from something not real or imagined. Such as; if a man says something to you on the street, then you hear about it for weeks. Or when asked to dance by a man in a club. You say "no" of course, unless he gives the go ahead, doesn't mind sort of thing. But if he is jealous, then he will accuse you of all kinds of things. Such as you "like him", "do you know him?" And God forbid you say something about it later. He may accuse you of sneaking out to meet him or talking to him on the phone. If someone honks going down the road and he askes you do you "who is that, your boyfriend?" And then doesn't let it go. Now if one makes remarks while with someone, then they certainly are setting it up to happen. Kat
No one ever writes to me. I mean men that is. This is a very good friends site though. I have women that have become friends and write to me. I do get some flowers, but not too many. I am okay with that. I like it here. Plenty to talk about. Stick around. Kat
Keep the faith. Love is always here. I guess I was lucky. I found love twice and had it for awhile. They may both be gone from here, but not gone from my heart. Kat
Oh honey. I knew something was amiss. But, I didn't know what. I will most certainly pray for you and, if not a cure, then hope. Sometimes it's the hope that keeps us up and going. Keep us posted. I will look forward to hearing that you feel better. Gods speed and Gods healing embrace. Kat
Well. if he has money AND is good looking, and I have feelings for him. And he does me, then okay. But, without the kindness and personality, and loving nature that I require in a man, it's a no go. Thanks, but no thanks. Kat
You ladies are so awesome. I listen to, and appreciate all your well wishes and caring thoughts. And all the good information. I just talked to my son, and he said that Pierce's jaundice count went up, and they are strengthening the type of light on him. They found a large chunk of stuff in his passages, and got it out of him. My son says that he sounds better this morning. I talked to him about the manner of her breast feeding, and he said she was doing it right. I also breast fed, and tried to help her to understand how it was done. But, they have help from people there that give special attention to the moms. I think that is great. Bless my sons heart. He hasn't been leaving more than a two mile radious from the hospital. He sounded a little sad that he has to go home today and get his work clothes together for work tomorrow. He will return, no doubt to stay with them in the hospital tonight. I bet it is going to be hard for him to concentrate on work. This baby has his heart and soul, lock stock and barrel. He is a very proud dad. And this is one very proud mom-grandma. Kat
Thank you ladies. For the re enfrcement of his eating habits. It just seemed that he slowed way down. And she is filling up to gorging. It is making her very uncomfortable and sore. She felt because he had slowed down. He is not out of the woods yet. I hope this passes soon. It makes me worry about them taking him home. You know, whether he will breathe on his own and be safe. I know, I know, I worry too much. Thanks again. By the way. He is so beautiful. Kat
inquiries as to how my grandbaby is doing. He is still in Neo Natal ICU at this time. He should have been released yesterday. But they say they are keeping him a few more days, until he is breathing on his own, without oxygen. He had tested positive for jaundice, 9.8, 15 being where they treat them agressively. But this is something fairly common. He still has liquid in his lungs, and is conjestive and has trouble breathing. And he also breathes way to fast when on his own. Should be around 80, but he breathes at about 100 to 105. He has been breast feeding now and at first he was only eating every 4 hours about 45 minutes at a time. Now he is coming in every two hours and only eats about 10 minutes. Kinda curious about that. The hospital is being good to them. Mom has been discharged today, but the hospital is letting them stay in the same room, to be near Pierce until he is well enough to be released. I hope soon. I pray soon, and healthy. I am so proud of my son, he has not gone home or left the hospital since she went in to have their son. He caters to her every need and keeps her comfortable. He holds his son and changes his diapers, and he is reading to him as well. I am an advocate for reading to babies as a soon as they are born. Seemed to work well for my kids. I went out and bought them about 200. dollars worth of books. Still can't tell what color his eyes are. They look darkish and then they look kinda grey, then blue. Sounds like hazel to me. His grandpa had very hazel eyes. Well, that is what I have for now. Keep praying or sending out whatever kinda love you believe in. We will take anything. Thank you all for your concern and well wishes. Kat
Just so you know;I didn't tell this for thanks to me. It is thanks to those that chose to grace our table with us. I told it to show that these youngsters on the street, and hanging out, are not all bad. That they all have a story. That with kindness and little effort we can buid esteem, and maybe make a difference in a young life. These two boys were by no means filthy, but they left a little to be desired in appearance. But, when we picked them up later,from where they were. They were clean and hair combed nice, and on their best behavior. They thanked us a few times. But, I thanked them for coming. I have had people tell me that I am going to get robbed some day. Or wake up to find stuff missing. To which I say; "if they need it that bad, then they must have needed it more than me". Kat
No thanks to me paws. Thanks to God, for being able to help. And as for throughout the year...if you only knew. There is a lot of kindness out there. You just don't hear about it a lot.
Oh no. This is something that we do every year. And if someone comes in our midst, needing help. We try and be there if it is at all possible. This is not done for brownie points or anything other than to be there for someone. You see, I had people help me when I was down and out a few times. This is my payback to those before me. I believe that when someone steps up and shows compassion and doesn't fear the unknown. That good has to come from it. I believe that God is proud of me. But not for that. I have come a long way in my life. I have become the person that he intended for me to be. I am not a wonderful person. I just do what I need to do. It fulfills me and makes me happy. And I think, helps others to see the world even for a minute, as not as bad as they may think. Kat
I think I mentioned one time, that I had offered to have a child for my sister and her then husband. She has never been able to have a child of her own. They tried to adopt several times, but the system failed them miserably. It is such a gimmick. Anyway, I offered and then I became pregnant myself, and then diagnosed with cervical cancer. So, after I had my child, I obviously could not have another. It hurt my feelings that I could not do this for her. The stress of them not being able to have children became too hard for them, and things happened as they do, and they got divorced. I think about this sometimes, and feel like I failed her. I know I could not help it, but it still comes to me sometimes. As for having a baby for a stranger, I am not so sure. I just don't know. Kat
I understand what you were saying so very much. I used to be lost and in the moment. Could close my mind at a moments notice. There came a time that I changed, and things became more obvious, and opened my eyes to see the differences in life, and lifes journeys. I became softer and more loving, which led to more understanding. And more compassion and the need to be kinder, and full of love and loves values. By me changing, I inadvertently started rubbing off on my family and close friends. There has been a change in their behaviors as well. Son yes. It does happen that way. Change our thinking, change our ways. Change the world. Thanks, Kat.
See there. I knew there were too many things out there that need to be done. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could find a way to make a difference? Truth is; we could. As a force of many. all things are possible.
And you Angel; you and me together, we could sure make some noise. Kat
Now, I know better than this. Where are your wishes, and or things you would like to acomplish in your life? Helllooooo. Anybody there? Hope to hear from you soon. Kat
Thank you for this. Gratitude is all around us. All we have to do is; think like you. Where there is stress, there is also calm. All in how we percieve it. Happy Thanksgiving to you Robert. Kat
This day is truely a Thanksgiving to me and my family. Gratitude is high on my list today as it is most every day. Bless you all, you wonderful people. Kat
