KIM,

I'M VERY QUIET.............................................................UNDER THE COVERS. HOWEVER MY CAT LIKES TO SING OPERA. DOES MEAN FIGARO

MARTY

MY KINDA GIRL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I, TOO HAVE BEEN WATCHING. WATCHING SO MUCH, I FINALLY HAD TO TURN IT OFF BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING ME SICK. THIS COUNTRY HAS MORE PLANS TO DEFEND ITSELF AGAINST THE ENEMY, BUT HAS NO PLAN AGAINST THE WRATH OF MOTHER NATURE. GRANTED, THIS WAS AN UNUSUAL HURRICANE WITH MULTIPLE CATASTROPHES, BUT LOOK AT SOME OTHER CATEGORY 5 HURRICANES THAT HAVE BLASTED OTHER AREAS. I COMMEND ALL THOSE VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE TRYING UNDER THE MOST ADVERSE OF CONDITIONS TO SAVE LIVES.

MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL THE FAMILIES WHO ARE SEPARATED AND DON'T KNOW WHERE MISSING RELATIVES ARE. I KNOW IT'S MUCH WORSE THAN EVEN THE TV IS REPORTING. THANK GOD OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HAVEN'T LAUNCHED INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE MEETINGS TO BLAME SOMEONE.

THIS WILL BE A TOPIC OF INTEREST FOR A LONG TIME TO COME. I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT I JUST DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE

MARTY

MARY,

A PSYCOLOGIST ONCE TOLD ME NOT TO THINK, COME TO ANY CONCLUSIONS, OR MAKE ANY DECISIONS, IF I WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. SO I WIND UP ON THE COMPUTER OR HAVE A GOOD BOOK TO READ. WHEN I FEEL TIRED ENOUGH AGAIN, I GO BACK TO SLEEP. I USED TO WORRY ABOUT THINGS OVER WHICH I HAVE NO CONTROL, OR TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF........................

I'M YAWNING, SO IT'S TIME TO MOVE THE CAT OFF MY SIDE OF THE BED AND GO BACK TO SLEEP. HE GOES THERE AS SOON AS I GET UP.

MARTY

DRINKING TOO MUCH OR NOT ENOUGH? I QUIT IN 1990 AFTER A SUCCESSFUL CAREER OF DOWNING ABSOLUT ON THE ROCKS. SMOKING TOO. WITH ALL THE MEDS I TAKE MIXNG THEM WITH ALCOHOL WOULD SEND ME INTO NEVER NEVER LAND. BESIDES, WITH THE HIGH COST OF BOOZE, THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY MONEY LEFT FOR GAS.

MARTY

JANICE,

TOLD YA SO, TOLD YA SO! SORRY, I COULDN'T RESIST. GLAD IT ALL WORKED OUT.

MARTY

SCOOTERMAN,

IT'S NOT AN OLD WIVE'S TALE. I THINK I LOST IT TO AN OLD WIFE WHO IS NOW DECEASED. THE CAR HAS BEEN CRUSHED, SO I GUESS IT'S GONE FOREVER.

IT AIN'T COMING AROUND.

MARTY

JANICE,

BOTH MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER HAD ULTASOUNDS BECAUSE THE X-RAYS WERE MISREAD. IT'S AGGRAVATING AND FRUSTRATING. WE MALES GO THROUGH SOME UNPLEASANT TESTING TOO. JUST A PART OF LIFE.

MARTY

LINDA,

ONE DOWN, FORTY-NINE TO GO. AND I'M TRYING TO BE CONSERVATIVE. THE FIRST YEAR IS AN ABSOLUTE BITCH.

CONGRATS

MARTY

I VENTURD FORTH AND HAD A NON-ALCOHOLIC BEER LAST WEEK. TALK ABOUT BEING IN SEVENTH HEAVEN.

MARTY

WONDERFUL NEWS. HERE'S HOPING YOUR LIFE IS FULL OF HAPPINESS AND THE KIDS ARE EQUALLY REWARED.

MARTY

I WOULDN'T TOUCH THIS BLOG WITH A 10 FOOT POLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KIM,

AFTER THE FIRST FEW MONTHS FOLLOWING THE STROKE, I WAS UPSET BECAUSE IT SEEMED TO TAKE FOREVER TO MAKE ANY PROGRESS. AFTER A YEAR I REALIZED THIS IS ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT'S GOING TO GET. IN THE PAST 9 MONTHS THERE HAVE BEEN SUBTLE IMPROVEMENTS. NOW WHEN I LOOK BACK TO THAT FIRST DAY SINCE THE STROKE, I CAN SEE HOW FAR I'VE COME.

GOING FROM CONCENTRATING ON NEGATIVES TO BECOMING POSITIVE TAKES TIME. LOOK, IT HAPPENED, THERE'S NO ONE TO BLAME, AND EVENTUALLY CHRIS WILL REALIZE HE STILL HAS LIFE, LOVED ONES AND A FUTURE IN HIS POCKET. MAYBE NOT PERFECT, BUT BETTER THAN IT COULD HAVE BEEN.

MARTY

GOOD MORNING,

MY WIFE AND I HAVE 2 ADOPTED GRANDCHILDREN AND WE COULD NOT LOVE THEM MORE. WHAT A BLESSING! OUR SON AND HIS WIFE ARE AWAITING THE ARRIVAL OF THEIR FIRST CHILD FROM SOUTH KOREA. MY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW IS ORIGINALLY FROM THERE, IT WAS AN EASY AND OBVIOUS CHOICE.

ENJOY THE KIDS. IT'S THE BET GIFT EVER.
