I don't have it set up right at present.<BR/><BR/>Chris, your presence is a great comfort, even if your words make my eyes water a bit.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Kristin for your prayers. It's the money expense I don't need. I still like coffee!<BR/><BR/>Debra, that's exactly how I feel and a disorientation with what day of the week it might be.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Mark, and it is the exorbitant cost I can't get over.<BR/><BR/>Kim, thanks for the first laugh today, and laughter helps. It never crossed my mind that you were thinking business. I know you better than that.

I wasn't impressed.<BR/>Oh Cath, of all the things to be thinking about at 2:30 in the morning... when the alarm went off this morning & I took a moment to come to my senses, you/your dad were what came to mind. I then remembered the comment I left yesterday & was horrified to think you might misunderstand my remark about "being just up the street"... I wasn't suggesting my "professional services"!!, but rather myself, a warm body, a friend, someone to cook a hot meal for the family, or if you needed someone for whatever reason.<BR/>I'll stop babbling now & hope your dad gets to go home ASAP!!pita-womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18180341525376306799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9494834.post-60392193951956803722009-01-16T08:37:00.000-05:002009-01-16T08:37:00.000-05:00what is it about that place...I drink iced tea eve...what is it about that place...I drink iced tea every day. I like the tea they have at Panera better, and I get more with their large than I get at bux, and for less money. So why do I still go there? I feel like a robot, devoid of any sensibilities. "$2.10? Ok. And here, have another 0.50 for your trouble."<BR/>Sheesh<BR/><BR/>I pray your dad shows remarkable improvement today.
