Good Morning from Albany, New York

A cloudy day up here....however I am hoping for a great day! Early this morning we watched a movie on the mining at Harlan, Kentucky. It was interesting and wild! Ghost is ls lying beside me and Tag is asleep on the floor also! I will probably go to the gym today with Brenda. She is a very nice friend! We share the same interests and go shopping together a lot. I must go by the bank to get something notorized for Crystal! Also I am going to Walmart to return a pair of boots. All is good up here and I wish all of you a lovely day...don't forget to thank the Lord for this day and ask him forgiveness for anything you know is a wrong to anyone...He will listen! I am having coffee...it is a lil strong tho!......Good Day! Love all of you!

I am finally back on here!!

Still in New York and with Paul!! He is good to me and we are best friends. This place is so pretty-a lot like Kentucky! Hope all my fans are okay! I am enjoying a nice day and my puppy "Tag" is beside my feet. Dave, our renter is on his computer as so am I. He and I are like brother and sister....tho we have our indifferences. miss my family very much and want to see them soon!

In Syracuse New York

This is a very large city and there is no way You could travel all of the streets..I am here with Paul at a convention. At this place we are staying, it is very fancy!! He attends meetings and Sue, my friend and I walked to the park to listen to live music. It is a lovely day here tho I am thinking of all my family. I love them, dearly. Here, it is so busy, not layed back like it is in Kentucky. I like it beter in Kentucky but this is different. Some of the buildings are 90 stories high...but now I am use to seeing them. Also we drove up here and it's about a 3 hour drive from Rensselear. Paul is at a meeting as I type and I am in the lobby. It is very nice here...I hope to get pics of some of this...okay, I's better go back in the room...I will call everyone later tonight....bye bye

Anyone ever heard of PTSD?

This is a new topic. I had heard of thismaybeoncein my lifetime...however, as I am now living proof..it is a real sickness. The patient may become angry or dis-oreinted at any time. Also they can shut down totally. It can be caused by trauma or usually war related. It can devour a relationship because the partner ends up feeling distantandvery disattached. There is help tho!! The patient must understand there is aproblem first and get help. Ifnot,it can take its vengeance on a family. My typing is no fault ofmine....it is this dang keyboard!!
