I agree with a lot of what you said. I've seen over and over and over again that Johnny or Jill weighed 450+ pounds and they go on and on about how much they eat everyday. 5 lbs of bacon, a dozen eggs, a loaf of bread and a 6 pack of Mountain Dew for breakfast. 4 foot long subs, an entire bag of chips, and a gallon of sweet tea for lunch, etc. Then they go on complain and moan that they can't even get up and go to the bathroom for themselves, they can't bathe, much less go to the kitchen to gather all this food. WHO BRINGS IT TO THEM???????????????????????????? It wouldn't be me, that's for su

Thank you, you have no idea how much I appreciate it, things are looking up every minute.

I think kidney failure can cause water retention, there are no high points to this story.

Good Heavens to Besty!!!!!!!!! I'm weepy and Hubby is even in awe, not an easy feat!!!! I have no words, yet another, not so easy feat!! This is the coolest story ever!!!!

So the issue isn't that they flew her there and she was the same size coming home. She was very large when she left and significantly larger when she wanted to come home and she couldn't be accommodated. I can't see how the airlines would be at fault, she could have gotten treatment there.

Are you kidding? With kidney issues, could the weight gain been bloating I wonder. How long was she there to gain 75 lbs? Too sad.

It sounds so cliche', but I think laughter is the best medicine. Seemed to work for us last night!

Thank you. It is contagious because before too long I was right in there with them. You're sweet!

I'm with you on this one. She shouldn't have been flown over with no issues and then stranded. It's not like she gained 150 lbs after she got there. HHHHMMMMM???????

I've learned the hard way that family is really all we have and can count on and I am a lucky girl!

We've had a rough few days here at my house, but I'm sitting here listening to my daughters telling silly stories and laughing like crazy people in my living room. AAHHHHH......sweet music!

Not one that I'm riding on anyway. Who thought that was a good idea?

That is exactly the bottom line. They aren't 'assault' rifles. We had an AK a few years ago, but of course, it was a semi auto. Perfectly legal and no more dangerous than any other high power rifle that we own.

No retail establishment pays enough for an employee to physically stop a shoplifter. People are crazy and as an employee, you have no idea what they may do to get away with their 'loot'.

I second that. They have coupons all the time and if you can resist the urge to buy everything that they try to sell you, you can still get great pix for under $30.00. We did it last year and were very pleased.

I agree and it does help. Each day that you can move forward through a tough situation takes you one day closer to the end of it. I'm looking to that day and hopefully it will be here sooner than later.

Whoever thought that Lindsey Lohan would be good in this role was an idiot.

Can you imagine having contact with your daughter and none with your granddaughter for a month with no explanation as to where she was? Who does that without demanding an answer? Not me, that's for sure.

My sentiments exactly. I'd laugh and cut up with my girls and their friends, boys and girls, but if they crossed they line, the funny mom left and the MOM showed up. I treated their friends the same way, they would say to me, 'Well, it's OK with our Mom if we do so and so', and I'd say right back to them, 'Well, this is my house and it's not OK with me'. I never had a one argue with me and honestly, I think they appreciated it. And it's funny because most of the kids that were always at my house during high school who are now 25-27, have all grown up to make something of themselves. Not that I

I'm waiting until the kids go to bed and I'll PM you. A third person, with no stake in the situation is exactly what I need right now. Thank you! Thank you so much! Things are darkest before the dawn, I just think the dawn may be a little farther away than the morning.

I love my daughters to a fault, but I guarantee you that if I thought that she had killed one of my grandchildren, I wouldn't take any blame and she'd be the one going to jail.

Thank you everyone for your kind words, it really does help. No more drinking for me, it does no good. I think we all feel that we are the only ones that are ever in a bad situation, but I've learned from experience thats not the truth 90% of the time. I do have a positive attitude most of the time because in my world, unless you're dead or have cancer, it can always be worse. So even though we've hit a huge crater in the road, we'll come out intact on the other side, it just may be a little bumpy getting there. Such is life.

Thank you!! I don't have a headache today, so I'm thankful for that. Thank you so much for the offer and I may just take you up on it. Sometimes getting someone elses perspective can help clear your own up.

I agree, Hubby os making me go to bed now, hopefully I won't be any worse for the wear tomorrow. Night ya'll.
