Welcome home! I hope you had a great time on vacation, and I hope you arrived home to find a few blooms waiting for you! I'm anxious to see your photos from your trip! I hope you were able to snap a few tropical looking scenes... we've been under ice and snow for a while here, and a tropical scene would sure be welcome! It's fun to visit other places, see new things... but it's always nice to come home! :-)

I missed you and I'm glad you are back. If there is anything we can do to help you with 'all this mess', I hope you will let us know. Judy

It is good to be home. When I came to in ICU and was on a resporator I almost had a heart attack. My neighbor, a nurse there, had come up to check on me. Later she said she felt so sorry for me, as she could see the fear in my eyes. They kept telling me it was temp. But boy was I scared! I thought I had had a stroke or something. The hole in my back (from the staph) is finally getting smaller. Very scary stuff. Thanks for all the love and hugs.

I've read all of the comments here and I finally had a chance to watch the segment on I Am Home. This is what I saw and heard regarding Will.I.Am. He appeared to be shy, humble and passionate about his quest and his goals. I also watched the second tape where he gave his grandmother a house and went back to visit his old home. This is a man that grew up poor and as an adult has decided to give back. Frankly, after watching the segment, how anyone could question his motives is beyond me. Here is a successful young man who is NOT in the news daily being talked about doing drugs, drinking, beating anyone or doing anything negative and instead of his venture being received positively, there was immediate negative energy. I just don't understand that. You know folk often criticize the news, media and TV for often portraying negative information about celebrities and here we have something positive and still there are complaints. I think it is fantastic what he is doing and I intend to contribute to his fund. Lurkkish thank you for bringing this to our attention because frankly, I've heard more lately about negative things regarding celebrities going on and had not heard a word about this. Really, I mean how sad is the fact that such a wonderful cause is going on, yet hardly any press has put been put out there about it. Also, here is another tidbit that many may not know about, often young musical celebrities like Will.I.Am have charities and give back but this fact is not often reported, rather the focus is on the bad boys and girls of the music world and all the crazy shenagins that they do.
