      Damn! Are you really 38? What happened? (lol) Ok, heres your hug for today I still don't see any encouragemennt for my goal! Don't worry, I got tons of it from my counselor today. I told her you were the one who suggested OA. And Sue, I really do appreciate that and I really appreciate your honesty regarding my weight and eating. But hell, you've been pretty strait forward with me about my weight since I met you. But I just wanted to thank you for the suggestion. So hows the "no Coca Cola" thing going for you? After awhile, it didn't taste that good to me either. Maybe I got some of the same bad batch you got? Well I'll call you tonite! Love You! Lisa

      Thank you, it is nice to have someone to talk to. My mom and I were the only women in the family and with her gone it gets lonely. I couldn't imagine what it must be like to have lost both parents. I would be devestated if something happened to my dad. Take care.

    • Kiss

      From lisaj7768 September 28, 2008

      I'm sending you a kiss this time...cuz of my tendencies! Haha! Once again, just wanted to tell you how hard you rock! I emailed Dave Kost and told him what was going on with me. I figured he would understand since he's a drug and alcohol counselor now. Plus, I've know him and his family since I was 2 years old!Anyway, today I'm going to abstain from overeating! I love yoi!

      Type: Loss of a Parent

      I have lost too many loved ones,in '95 I lost my only sister,& in April '06 a Sister in Law.In May 06 I lost my Dad to lung cancer,I then moved my family in with my Mom to care for her while on hospice,She died in May '07 of COPD.Then 3 months later in August I lost my brother who was 49 & in September '07 a very close friend died at age 33,Both died in thier sleep. So it has been a really rough couple of years,I really havent started to deal with any of the grief. I don't know where to start.

    • Open Autism / Autism Spectrum

      My 6 year old son Jayden has recently been diagnosed as having ausperger syndrome. At least now we know what is wrong and have a place to start to help him . Some days are so hard, I try to be as patient as possible but when he is having a fit every 10 minutes its hard. I'm just hoping that now we can start down a road to helping him be happier and feel better
