As you know, Jeanne, you had me crying and doing the Happy Dance all at the same time. And I can't begin to tell you how much your courage and strength through-out this terrible ordeal has touched me. You are so inspiring, and show there is light even in the darkest storm of one's life. I admire you more than you'll ever know. love and hugs, Karen

Sorry, I've been reading without doing much posting lately, arms full. My little guy will be one month tomorrow. He is doing great. The splint/cast sort of thing (the doc's original creation for the situation) was taken off last Thursday. He squirmed out of it twice and had to have a new ones put on! (We've nicknamed him Houdidi.) But now it's off for good. The arm is working great. We were waiting to be sure there was no nerve damage, and there doesn't seem to be, his little fingers wiggle all over the place. There is a lump of bone growth over the place where it was broken making it just a little bigger around than the other arm (like he's been working on the bicep). The bones are not exactly aligned, because it isn't practical to surgically put them back together in a newborn. If you know the arm was broken and *look* for a difference, you can see it. But it's not real obvious and it's only cosmetic, the arm works just like the other one. The doctor says that as he is growing quickly at this age, the arm will "remold" itself so that a year from now there will be no difference. We still have another check up on it in a couple weeks, but it looks like all's well that ends well. The medical term for the complication we experienced is shoulder dystocia, head delivers normally but the shoulders get stuck, could have been a lot worse, so we are so relieved all is well now. Thank you for thinking of us!

Hey guys, I am thinking about buying a nice piece of land of around 50+ acres for a family of about 15+, And as we were searching in New York State we came across laws that would ruin our goal which is Eco friendly living. I am wondering which of these three states has the least laws for property owners. Thanks again.

I am sorry to hear this news.
She did not post here as often as the Mosiac forum
but I always looked forward to seeing what she was up
to. She was always busy with a project!
My prayers to her family.

For those who want to see some of her work, I just entered 'flagtruck' in the search at the bottom of the main page for the junk forum, and there are 19 hits. Some lead to her flicker page. I did not go to all the posts now, but in memory of her, I will in the next few days.

I remember Flagtruck posting here some, and I am so sorry to hear this. She was so talented with her garden and mosaics, and thru them had many friends on the Web who will feel her loss deeply.
My heart goes out to all who knew her.

hugs, Karen

That is so sad! And it must be really bad when you knew the person personally or as we say "in real life." It was wonderful to read posts from all the people she touched with her talent. That is an amazing legacy to leave behind. (((((HUGS)))))
