Happy Birthday!

I remember after Katrina, how your wife had to really scramble to even get the ingredients to bake you a cake. In that way...things are looking up!

Thanks Everybody

I have to admit, for the first time in my life, I’m having a hard time with getting older. The MS has crippled me up, and I’m having a hard time dealing with not being able to do what I use to do.

I’ll get out of this slump sooner or later, and stop the pity party, but my birthday has been rough. Being in bad shape and getting older is not an easy thing to accept. It’s nothing short of a damn miracle I lived to 44.

If you want to give me a present, tell someone you love that you love them, and mean it. It’s important, trust me.

Tobey

I was in a better state of mind then. Even when the world was coming apart around me. This thread is what got me to writing again. I had been away from writing for quite a while until then. The only good thing that came out of that damn hurricane for me. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse for my family and I, I got sick. The state has been making great strides since the storm. You wouldn’t believe how political the response was and how political it still is. I didn’t think politics where that involved when people’s lives were at stake, but they were.

Yes, the New Orleans metro area is the redheaded stepchild of the US but y’all know y’all need us. A sad but evidently true fact. It’s about as close as you can come to entering a foreign country in the US without crossing a border. I’ve found that out with doing research and from being on forums, things are just different here. For example I live on six arpents. Each arpent is a little less than an acre. That measurement dates back to even before the Louisiana purchase, before we were even the United States of America. With the exception of the right of way for the levee and River Road the property line ends at the Mississippi river. Not many people here can say that, even to this day. And with the exception of Alaska being on the Boroughs system, we are the only state that does not use Counties to divide our civil municipalities, we use Parishes. I’ve still not have gotten to why we use the “Parish” word, and I have asked two priest, a lawyer and a cop. That’s just how it is, and its been that way for a long time. I’m sorry hurricane Katrina happened, but I’m not sorry for being from Louisiana. We are just different that’s all.

Happy Belated Birthday Roundeye.

The 16th marked the 3 year anniversary of my sons head on with a drunk. Beleive me, we hugged and told one another how much we loved each other. Fact is, today may be the only day you have to do that.

I wasn’t aware of that. Did he heal OK or is his body borked too?

He's borked for life. Ankle completely crushed. Here is a pic of the abdominal muscle graft they used to fix the huge hole in his foot from where the bones went through. Now he only has a 3 pack of abs instead of 6. He's getting around, but has a drugstore in his room for pain and amputation is still on the table.
