2. He wouldn't say.

He smiled this cheshire cat smaile and said, "Connections."

There is a BC connection, so I'm sure it had something to do with that route.

5. You rule!

Ahm, it's it's not too much trouble,
or if it's not too personal
or if you just don't feel like it
I understand, but otherwise

WHAT DID HE WRITE!

To XXXXX -

Thank you for your support and for the good wishes and work from your husband and children.

This is my favorite part:

"Leave the heartache of November behind as fast as possible. We have work to do!"

7. Well, I don't know.

The person could have had details of something in there that you didn't want to share. (It wasn't a test. I was just trying to be polite, in case you wanted to keep it to yourself.)

Ah, that is nice. What a classy guy! No wonder we made him Senator. (Congrats! Couldn't have happened to a nicer Kerrycrat!)

12. Thanks for sharing that!!!

I need to remember that almost every day. I'm just climbing out of my depression.

Taking nothing away from you but I feel like he could have been speaking directly to me.

You are lucky (but I'm sure your husband is too!):yourock:

22. depression

I hear you: I'm climbing out too, slowly but surely. It goes unevenly--a little forward, a little back, but we make progress.

I'm trying to find places where I can do some good, and that helps.
I've been down this road before (being depressed, I mean), and know that whatever you can do proactively, to feel empowered, helps a lot.

You guys are great. I knew you'd enjoy hearing yet another story (can we ever get enough? I don't think so) about our hero.

19. Oh, you're a Pisces too?

Edited on Wed Mar-02-05 12:44 AM by whometense

My younger son is as well. So you either have a birthday coming up too - or just had one. Happy birthday to you too!

I keep opening the book and peeking inside to see if it's still there. Silly me. :)

21. yup

Edited on Wed Mar-02-05 10:43 AM by ginnyinWI

Yes, on the 14th. I don't think my husband will get me a JK autograph, but he is taking me out somewhere fun. :) And we've actually been taking ballroom dancing lessons, something I've wanted to do for a long time.

edit: I'm a Pisces too--so there are at least three of us here!

10. It was just such a

a TOTAL surprise. He is a very sweet and thoughtful guy, and I had a lovely birthday. Only thing missing was the two boys - one was in Idaho, of all places, and the other in NY.
