Kat, I am so happy to hear from you.You are amazing to me, and sort of my role model.When I think of what you have gone through and how strong you are, it keeps me going.I did lose all of my hair, and like you and stoneybaloney, I was thinking I should at least be able to lose weight and have beautiful red hair and curls. I even got a free brand new red wig from the Cancer Center. I did lose some weight and now that the chemo is over I have some hair, look like a baby bird when their feathers just start coming in. Sad to say it is more silver and gray than red. But hey, at least it is growing and I only have 18 more radiations when it started out at 30. So, know that you are in my prayers.

I emailed you back! use the comcast address! kacram at comcastdot net

lonepiper its fine... its just that when KKNY and TOS get involved in a post it always goes back to children of divorce should be coddled for the rest of their lives and they are not held accountable for any of their actions its always the adult's fault never the child's fault. officer pulls you over ... You get out of the car "playfully swat" him on the shoulder and say hey buddy F U ... what is that officer going to do? Is he going to perceive it as "friendly behavior" or his he going to place you under arrest for assault? and disorderly conduct? Child forgets homework... teacher says you are going to stay after school for not doing your homework... child says "you can't tell me what to do ... you're not my mother!!" then "playfully swats" teacher on the shoulder what happens to that child? Children should be treated like children and taught be respectful of all adults within reason... they should be told that you can tell a stranger to go pound tar. Anyone who touches them in bathing suit area needs to be disrespected and they need to tell an adult. They need to be taught to be afraid of strangers and be on the look out for molesters ... they should be taught how to become decent adults... they cannot swear at you hit you or other wise disrepect you Yes respect is fear ... fear of the unknown... Everyone one has said ... I would never do "that" my mother would kill me!!! would your mom really kill you NO but you were never really sure. Babies momma = saint hood. Babies daddy = trust fund.

Ruthie, I'm with you---get back here BRAT! It was sooo nice to meet her! Donna (^_^)
