Things have calmed down since the wake and funeral for my mom. I guess things went as well as could be expected. No major family issues, (except for my stupid father-which is a whole other story) as...
Hello to Body and Soul, I am sad to tell you of the passing of my mother on Thursday evening. Things were peaceful for her and while I am very broken up, I know her suffering is over. She was a great...
Hopefully this post won't go to land of the lost posts too. Mom is resting comfortably in the hospice. She sleeps a lot and doesn't talk much either. However, she has always had a wicked sense of...
I am currently awaiting the arrival of an ambulette to transport mom to a hospice facility. While this is sad, it is the right thing for her and for us. Mom is ready for this step. We are not of...
Good Morning ABers. It s 6:11 am here in sunny NYC and I wll be heading out shortly to meet my new classes today. I wonder what type of chaos will greet us this year. I have 5 full classes and at 34...

This should probably be in education, but... When people refer to going into sixth form, what does that mean? is it like the US grade system? and what ages are they? For example we go to Kindergarten...
For those of you who have been following and giving well wishes, I wanted to update you on my mother. We have finally gotten 2 home health aids to care for her as I will be going back to school next...
Someone in another post used the word hamper in the English sense meaning gift basket. I am familar with the word being used this way even though I speak the "American English". We use the word hamper...
As some of you know I was waiting for my mother's oncologist to give us direction for her further care. After some more tests he feels that further chemo, etc. would not work and would really wipe her...
I have started watching the show "Jericho" on the summer repeats. If you get this show there,you may like it. It has that weird "LOST", Heroes vibe, where you're not really sure what's going on. I...
I've never been on My Space or other sights like it. I thought they were really for teens/early 20's to chat/hook up. ( I am aware of all the pedophiles too.) I was surprised to learn that a number of...
