Friends til the end Community Group
A group for those of us here who get more from our friendships than from the available discussion groups. A place to be accepted and appreciated for who we are. Somewhere to always feel safe and know that especially on the bad days we are here for each other .A place for encouragement and love.
A man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost.
He reduced altitude and spotted a woman tending to the flowers in her garden.
He descended a bit more and shouted, 'Excuse me, can you help me?
I promised a friend that I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am.'
The woman below replied, 'You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet
above the ground.
You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees
west longitude.'
'You must be an Accountant,' said the balloonist.
'I am,' replied the woman, 'How did you know?'
'Well,' answered the balloonist, 'everything you told me is technically correct, but I
have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is, I'm still lost.
Frankly, you've not been much help at all.
If anything, you have delayed my journey.'
The woman below responded, 'You must be in Management.'
'I am,' replied the balloonist, 'but how did you know?'
'Well,' said the woman, 'you don't know where you are, or where you're going.
You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air.
You made a promise of which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect people
beneath you to solve your problems.
The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow
it's now become my fault!'

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
