  • What is wrong with me...

    Monday, January 12, 2009 | A Call For Help story

    is it just the winter blahs? I'm feeling better but I cannot make myself do anything. I have NO ENERGY or INCENTIVE to do anything. I don't "feel" depressed, but I can't hardly move around. Last night I laid down on my bed at 9:00 PM and covered myself with a blanket and slept until 8:30 this morning. I didn't even get undressed...which was great because I brushed m...

    Friday, December 5, 2008

    Hi, I am so I don't know how to put it in words.  I don't know what to expect or what to do  about this fibro and lupus diagnose.  I feel so bad because my boys are finally at the age where I can really do things with them and half the time I don't feel good.  I don't know I guess I just need to learn to live with this awful stuff.  Thanks for reading.&nbs...

  • WE NEED A HOUSE ASAP!

    Tuesday, September 30, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    I'm asking for serious help here. Prayer, blessings, good thoughts etc. My daughter, Stacia, myself and grandson, Tristen are currently living in a 2 bedroom duplex that has black mold. We need to move ASAP. Housing here is in very short supply. We thought we had a 3 bedroom trailor to move to but the owner put it with a rental agency to manage, because he's out of state working.  Th...

    Sunday, February 1, 2009 | A Frustrating story

    I have asked for prayers many times on this board to the point I am sure you are all tired of this and frankly so I am. I am very tired of health issues and life issues. I am having surgery (small minor no big deal) on February the 12. I am not really asking prayer for the surgery. What I am asking prayer for is me. I have never been afraid about my health I have always viewed as one more mountai...

    Thursday, November 6, 2008 | A Venting story

    My daughter's husband is a true a**hole. He has not complied with the court signed settlement of assets, does not exercise his visitation rights with his son (he's seen him 4 times since March) didn't even show up for the final hearing, AND lied and said he was a student to get the minimum child support obligation of $63.00 a month. The state has had to garnish his monthly Army Reserv...

    Thursday, November 20, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    My darling daughter, Stacia, posted my situation. I was woken on Sunday to my body trembling with chill. It quickly escalated to violent tremors that shook the bed and I felt as though I was going to freeze to death, suffering from fever. Stacia piled on the blankets and started the fluids and pain meds while I wreathed in unbearable pain. I had charlie horse pain coursing through my body, from o...
