Welcome...good profile....have fun!

Hopefully, you have discussed and agreed with parenting issues with the one you are marrying. His/her support is very important. Kids need to see a united front with all parents. My ex and I (and his wife) discussed things going on with the kids and supported each other in the decisions. They are grown now and have turned out well!

AM I A THREAD STOPPER!! SHOULD I QUIT POSTING??

Welcome and thank you for your service. (Ex Navy wife) I'm a "mom" so let me know when you need mom advice---open, honest advice...no mushy stuff and no letting you off the hook if you need to take responsibility for anything!!

Excellent--thanks for sharing.

Yes...contact him. He misses you just as much. As the dad, and the adult, you need to make the first move. You are and always will be his dad....

Thanks for the thumbs up!! Left a hospital job to pursue this!! I am 56 and take no meds/prescriptions!! MUCH better for our body! The body is designed to heal itself w/the herbs that are supplied to us by nature!

Most people do not digest well due to the additives in food. Unless you are eating raw, go to a good health store and get digestive enzymes. They help the food break down (as it would do if natural) so that the nutrients can get to your cells and the waste is eliminated quicker, so it does not set in your colon causing havoc!! The enzymes are not expensive and should have NO artificial ingredients.

I am a certified natural health practitioner....no meds

I can sew, but only so so

Did you go to dr to make sure it is not broken / dislocated?

Go to natural health store and get KELP (sea kelp)...by next month you'll be much better. Take daily. Aspirin will thin the blood and actually cause more pain. Kelp is NATURAL and helps over the long haul. My daughter finally tried it and is SO happy. Helps other things as well.

Read it before, it's cute.

When I use a men's room, I DO put the seat back up!

You need to give it and ending so you can have a new beginning. You are not moving forward if you keep hanging on to something that obviously does not work.

This is a great idea. I am a CNHP and into all the natural stuff! I also do Reiki (energy) healing. A friend who owns a health and healing center said:

For the bird flu you need TWEETMENT and for H1N1 you need OINKMENT.

Yes, a joke, but we do not need to react to the news hype with fear and dread. Our bodies are divinely made and herbs can heal. Thank you for the ideas.

Excellent!! Love and light always win over dark and fear.

You can do a "search" and see who shows up....set w/your zipcode.

$$ is good since I don't drink!

I am "grammie" and I like that!

I understand how you are feeling. I have 5 children...3 with first marriage and then 2 with second. My son and his girlfriend had a baby in August after completing their senior year. Your son is old enough to be responsible and step up to the plate and make sure he is supporting his family.

When my grand daughter was born, I was 43 and had an 8 & 9 year old still at home! It is tough. Currently, my oldest is 38 and my youngest is 21. I have been a mom forever! I love being a mom, but when the grandkids are close to the ages of your own, it is harder to be a grammie while still be a mommy! But it works out. She is 13 now and a beautiful girl. There is something wonderful about seeing and holding the child of your child. When they had their second, I was in the delivery room with them! That is amazing!!!

You'll do fine because you are looking at the situation realistically. Shows that you care and are preparing yourself for it! Warm wishes.
