He wil be so happy to get the package... I know how much care packages from home mean to those guys/gals.... It reminds them they havent been forgotten...

Glad your heart stayed int he right place while the mind was freaking... youre a strong woman to be able to withstand this... It takes a special person to be a member of a service persons life...

Good Luck with everything... God Bless you and Cajun and the rest of the families and service people out there....

Im glad you got to talk to Cajun, I know how happy that makes you....

And yayyy for being able to send his present soon, he will LOVE it just as he does you Im sure of it!

I have a friend over in Iraq, and his net has been being a sh*t as of late so weve not been able to talk much...He only has a few months left there tho, how I wish that was Cajuns situation also....Just hang on to the thought of how glorious it will be when he finally does get to come home....he will be yours all yours...

Sorry Ive been so absent.... just havent had anything of good advice to give to people lately, sorry....

Have a good night....

I'm not a vegan myself although I am trying to eat more organic foods. Even if someone doesn't eat meat because they don't want to hurt animals there is not much harm to animals when people eat eggs or dairy.

Yayyy the bunny seems to be healing, youve done good....

And SUPER YAYYYYY's for talking to Cajun for 2 hours.... thats great!  I am happy for you....

Have a good rest of your sunday.... Oh yea, your job sounds interesting....

Love and HUggs

Janica

I'm afraid of a lot of animals, but not bunnies. I just love them. They're so cute. Good job!

That is crazy amazing. I don't know if I could have done what you did.  Well it looks like you just got yourself a new bunny.  I guess try to give it half a baby tylonol for the pain.  Did you reset the bone or did you just close the wound.  If you forgot to flush the wound out with iodine or steril water watch out for infection.  Other than that great job.  I don't know what else to say.

[masweet1]

We had the same thing happen to us a couple of years ago with a bunny we found in the road, however the leg truly was just being held on by the skin so we did amputate it, then we wrapped it up after we antibiotic cream to the wound, we took it to the vet and the vet said we did the right thing but it still was not going to make it as it had too many internal injuries, so we took it home and held it till it passed.... It was sad...

I pray for your lil bunny and wish it the best... you did a good thing my friend.

Have a good weekend...

Love and HUggs

Glad to hear about the job, sorry to hear about t he possiblity of less time with Cajun...it will all work out in the end.... The Lord works in mysterious ways!

Love and HUggs

Janica

Well said my dear well said!!!!

I agree we should never for get and those who can have no respect for this country, or those fighting t keep us safe at home and abroad!

Thank Cajun for me some time would ya....

Have a good day hun...

Love and HUggs

Janica

No shes never indicated why, however I did get it out of her that she started doing it shortly after Trin came home from the group home, so Im wondering if it is an attention thing partly as she was the center of our world while Trin was away, and now that Trin is home she has to share that attention again..... Make sense?

Have you heard from Cajun recently?  I sure hope so.... I pray nightly that he gets to come home soon, and that the both of you can finally be together....I pray for your strength to endure this time of seperation.... I do know how difficult it is... been there done that before....and it did suck major ass!!!!

Have a GREAT day today....

Love and HUggs

Janica

Thank you so much for that web site... I have put in a phone call to them and am waiting to hear back from them....  I appreciate it....

Hope you are having a good day....

Yes, Social Services did help, My medical bills are nearly fully covered, but my prescriptions are only 80% covered. Thanks for the comment. Glad you got to talk to Cajun. Take care.

Chad

Ha Ha thanks! And bikini calander? Please explain...sounds pretty cool! I hope you get to talk to Cajun again SOON!!!! Take care

So happy to hear that you got to vchat with Cajun again!

If I'm understanding your entry correctly, is Cajun stuck in Iraq (and in the Army) until the war is over?? And if so... how the hell can they do that and get away with it??!

And I hear ya about not having kids after 30. That's what I did... and stuck to it. I couldn't imagine starting over now. Aaahhh   Just not for me. haha

People  can be such...grrrrr...idiots!  Well, my computer is being stupid right now and won't let me watch the video but I will when I can. Some people are sooo unbelievable!

How long has Cajun been gone now? When should he come home? Seems like forever I bet

Yeah, I could punch people like that  Ohh well..

I'm glad you got to talk to Cajun! I'm sorry about him being deployed so long...that's soooooooo sh*tty! You guys are quite a couple!!

I hope he gets some leave soon.

Chad

Good luck ony our paper hun....I cant imagine having to write a 15 to 20 page paper... Id be using size 72 font double spaced  LOL

So happy that you got to vchat with Cajun....makes me happy when you get to hear from him.... I remember all too well what those days were like when I went weeks to months with out talking voice to voice with my(now ex) husband....it tore me apart....so Im glad you got that time with him.  Hope it happens soon again for the both of you....

Have a great day.....

Love and HUggs

Janica

Wow, he really is in a tight situation. It's sad he doesn't get the rest he needs. I hope you talk to him again very soon, it evidentally makes you so happy when you do.

=)

Yes, limited though unless you want to take the train into Phladelphia. I don't know much about the city, and being directionally challenged, I'd probably end up somewhere I didn't want to be. Thanks for your comment.

Chad

I'm glad you two got to see each other and for you to watch him open his present. I didn't get a appointment with social services, I don't readily have a way to get there. I do have a case manager however. I mailed the info off that they wanted, hopefully that will be enough to get the ball rolling again. Thanks for your comment.

Chad

lol he's actually 22 and settled well into a job. but you're right, I've yet to meet a teenager with enough money/heart to do something like that.

=)

Thank you, I'll look into that.

Chad

WOOHOO!!! I'm happy you got to watch him open his gifts! They really need to give those guys some serious R&R. They more than deserve it... especially some leave time. I'm glad to hear that he will be back on base for a while though... so you two can keep in touch easier than you have been over the past few months.

Good luck with all of your homework. Ugh!

Wow thats sooooo very good to hear!!!!!!!!! You both sound very very much in lovee, especially with the whole wait. You really proved your affections by not considering someone else. Not every girl would be able to do that.

I'm glad he loved his gifts!!!!!! I hope you get to spend more time with him.

Rana.

=)

Thank you! Yeah, it was great to see him but hurts to have to leave.  You know... well glad you getta send him his present...FINALLY! And I think you are right, a handwritten letter is the best...even if it's sloppy  Best wishes!

We saw news footage of Duluth and it looked crazy insane, specially down by the shoreline.... Glad youre alright!

We were supposed to get 9 inches of snow but instead all we got was rain and more rain... which I am fine with... I am so over winter now its not even funny... time for spring to spring on us... 

Im getting cabin fever when it comes to school, I see the sun shining and want to be out in it....not sitting in class somewhere listening to a teacher drone on and one about nothing I want to hear at the moment.

Have a GREAT day today and YAYYYYY about Cajun getting back to base camp and you being able to send him out his letters and such!!!!!

Love, HUggs and Prayers....

Janica

Thanks, I appreciate your comment. I might do something totally out of character for me, I might actually go to bed early, before midnight early. I'm tired, the stress of the last few days has worn me down. Take care,

Chad

Goodnite everyone, see ya tomorrow.

Chad

Have a nice evening/night. I'm off to bed. Take Care,

Chad

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww, you skipped class, I'm gonna tell.....lmao. I'm glad you got to talk to him, too bad it can't be more often. Take Care.

Chad

That is so wonderful. It makes me sooo happy to hear that, because you deserved it. I hope many more more that comes your way. The wait must be painful, but love can really stick you through the rough.

Wishing you the best,
Rana
= )

WOOT WOOT I am happy for you... hopefully he will be back on base for good soon and able to come home to you soon also....

Love and HUggs

Janica

Not a problem........don't worry about it. Glad you had a nice weekend.

Chad

Thank you for the entry and advice, but what do I do to keep her planted while I talk to her, She's already planning to stay with her boyfriend while I'm there. That sucks, I can't get through to her. Take care.

Chad

Woohoo on getting to talk with Cajun!! Hopefully everything settles back down so that he is able to talk to you more often again.

I'm glad you got to talk to him. Happy Easter by the way.

Take care.

Chad

YAYAYAYAYAYAYYYYYYYYYYY.... Doing the happy chic dance for you

Was it already Easter there for him?  I am so glad you got to talk to him, thats better than any old stinkin chocolate bunny you could have gotten it....

Love and HUggs

Janica

Wow, reading the entire thing I am shocked! This woman took it way too far! The conversation with AB alone left me confused and annoyed... For such an "intelligent" person, her sarcasm and irrational behaviour made her appear naive and younger than AB herself. You and AB were soooo very patient and understanding! The both of you truly came out as the better ones. Judging by this woman's attitude in just this entry, I wouldn't mind her leaving the forum for a while...

Mucho love

Rana

I'm not doing very good, the pain has gotten worse since yesterday. Hope you're doing ok.

Chad

The beginning up until the 2 and a half year mark, everything between Melissa and I was a perfect as you can get. We loved each other deeply and passionately. No she wasn't married before but she was in a 7 year relationship before she met me. I don't know what she did before we met, nor do I want to know. It has no bearing on the here and now. She didn't engage in cyber sex while we were dating or after we were married and in the first few years we were married. We didn't really date before marriage I moved to California to be with her 13 days after we met, in August 2004 we were married in December of that year. A friend who I trust told me about Melissa''s "activities". Melissa knows both of us, she told our mutual friend and the friend told me. My first marriage came when we met in college, we were married 3 months later. It wasn't always a pleasant marriage, we fought alot. Finally, 4 kids and 11 years later, we decided to call it quits. Well, you may be right about not taking it out on the guys, but I can't and won't hit Melissa. I'm finally mad no, I'm pissed at her, and I'd really like to hit someone right now and like I said, I can't and won't hit her, so that leaves the guys. Lucky for them I'm here and they're on the west coast. That's about all I can or am willing to share right now. Probably all I can, I'm tired but I don't anticipate any sleep tonight. If there's any more you want to know, ask.

Chad

Thank you for your comment........I would write more but I'm tired and I found something tonight that really screwed up my  world, not to mention me. Take care.

Chad

Love and HUggs

Janica

No we would not hear her if she were sneaking out, she could walk right out the front door and we wouldnt hear it....

I plan to get an alarm for her window, this was in the works before we found out about the dope...because we are afraid shes been sneaking out....

Thanks for all the advice... I appreciate it....

Have a good night, and hopefully your Cajun will call soon....

Love and HUggs

Janica

Steph has been being really decent about everything since sh*t hit the fan Tuesday... Shes even gone and talked to the youth out reach worker at her school, and she is willing to go to treatment when we find a place for her to go... Plus shes been spending time down stairs with us as a family and not secluded in her room... She has been very tired tho, I wonder if thats just her body getting used to not having the dope or something like that,,,,

Thanks for asking,....

Love and HUggs

Janica

Happy Spring Break,.... Hope you get to have some fun...

Sorry youre missing Cajun so much... I do pray for him to call you ... for you to hear something, anything....

Hope the weather cooperates and is nice for you for the break... I know this week when I had mine I could not have asked for ebtter weather....

Have a great rest of your weekend...

Love and HUggs

Janica

I hope the dreams you and Cajun have come true. Talk to you soon.

Chad

thanks for your comment :)

Thanks, I appreciate it. Take care.

Chad

Thank you for your comment... I hope it is something she will grow out of the sooner the better, which is why I am interveing now... in hopes of helping her to grow out of it...of getting her life back on track.  A year a go she had plans to attend Bemidji to get her degree in psychology, and now she would be lucky if a state school would look at her, or a tech school for that matter... It is sad form e to see how shes just throwing her life away with no cares as tow hat tomorrow brings.... I cant be too hard on her tho as when I was a teen it took me 13 times in treatment before I finally "got" it...So Ive been where she is and I know how hard the struggle is that she faces everyday, and I dont want my little girl going through that.... She will be an "adult" in the eyes of the law in 11 months, she does not need to be getting busted for drugs they frown upon that highly as an adult...*sighs* Im just doing what my gut is telling me to do...I believe that is the lord guideing me....

I hope you have a good day, and thanks again for the comment and the offer to ehlp if I need anything...is much appreciated!!!

Love and HUggs

Janica

HAHAH what a funny card.... I bet he will love it!

AWWWWWW@ the Cajun counter... hopefully it can get reset soon....

I hope your "friend" gets it figured out before he loses a friend....

HAve a great night....

Thank you for your comments, caring and concern. Take care of yourself.

Chad

Thank you for your comments, I appreciate the concern, the prayers and the well wishes. Take care.

Chad

You're right, I never physically or mentally hurt her, but I do have to be fair. Melissa did make an effort, for the better part of our marriage. In the last few months before the separation, she gave up and quit though, that's when the internet and chatting with guys started up. I hope you're right about the one woman for me being out there somewhere. That belief has been really strained at this point.I still find it hard to have any really harsh feelings towards Melissa or about her. Hurt is a different thing, I can't control the pain from coming out. It comes out no matter what I do. I can't seem to bring myself to be angry with her however, I don't know why. I was angry one time, a few days ago, not really directed at her, just at the situation. Thank you for your comment. Take care. I hope you get another phone call from Cajun soon. Talk to you later.

Chad

aww thats great you finally got to talk to him! I think i know just how you must of felt when you first heard his voice. My b/f went to Germany last year for a month and didnt call me untill 3 weeks had gone by! it felt like such a long time... but was soo good to hear his voice again!

YAY YAY YAY... I bet you are on cloud nine right now....

I am happy for the both of you....I know how those long stints of no contact can wear on a persons being.....

Hope he can call again soon....

Have a great day today....

Love and HUggs

Hey, I just read your entry. I'll start off by saying that I am a vegetarian. I chose to become a vegetarian (not vegan) for personal and moral reasons. I won't try to convince you or tell you are wrong or anything like that. I respect your lifestyle. I find what you have to say interesting. I do think that her comments are very immature and disturbing. As for PETA, their actions are somewhat to the extreme. I just think that they believe that they're going about it correctly. I don't think so. I also want to say that in no way whatsoever, do I value the life of an animal higher and possibly not even equally to that of a human's. Anyway, I'm done here. I just wanted to state what I have stated. Thank you. I like reading ideas and opinions that are contrary to my own. I also believe that you weren't generalizing and therefore not saying that every vegetarian is like that. Oh well. I hope what I have said isn't pointless. Take care!

Carolina

Hang in there, y'all will be fine. Talk to you later.

Chad

Ok, well I hope he gets discharged soon for your sake. I think I'm going to call it a night...........sleep well......talk to you tomorrow. Good night.

Chad

When does he get discharged?

Chad

I'm glad you got to hear from him. I know it must be difficult for you to go long periods of time without hearing from him. I'm surprised, I thought I was the only one on here tonight........lol. Take care

Chad
