Every time I read a new blog post from you I keep hoping to hear that you either won the lottery, got a huge raise, or a distant relative died and left you a fortune and a villa in the south of France.<br />Something good is bound to happen for you sooner or later. I just hope it hurries up.<br />BTW, Kindles rule! Some books can be downloaded for free and some libraries allow you to "borrow" books in electronic form.Miz Kizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650747741395559803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339974062095553185.post-12295126885021651132011-12-22T00:44:33.059-06:002011-12-22T00:44:33.059-06:00Do you have a public wishlist on Amazon for Kindle...Do you have a public wishlist on Amazon for Kindle books? I would like to gift you a book when you get your Kindle.

There are treatments to keep it at bay and manage pain, but eventually the treatment options will fail and pain management is used until the end :( So sorry :(Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657344985401890336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339974062095553185.post-85804284236859135332011-12-20T20:21:12.203-06:002011-12-20T20:21:12.203-06:00Sheesh!

I've been hugging the resident HKC tubs o' lard a lot lately. :-) <br /><br />As always, you, the kitties, DH, and your loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers.

What helps me when I am down is to hug my cats and listen to music, and at this time of year it's Christmas music. I am also going to make and eat a bunch of Christmas cookies, and not worry about my diet until after Christmas.CatLovernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339974062095553185.post-70457729947056522722011-12-19T17:44:14.415-06:002011-12-19T17:44:14.415-06:00Carol, this obviously won't be one of your bet...Carol, this obviously won't be one of your better family Christmases, but I hope you'll take the time for whatever Christmasy is going on in your community, and participate. Buying yourself the Kindle was a start (and though I love 'real' books, I do use my kindle quite a lot--even when driving because you can set it to read aloud, and the voice [you can pick male or female] is less robotic than you might expect). Guess this means things can't help but get better for 2012, huh? Please take care.Grace.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03557395027685855901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339974062095553185.post-88225156958320656812011-12-19T14:06:31.920-06:002011-12-19T14:06:31.920-06:00I think we have to splurge on ourselves at these t...I think we have to splurge on ourselves at these times when no one else will.

You will certainly be in my prayers, as you always are.Kathienoreply@blogger.com
