I'll take pictures. Of the skydiving that is. If you want me to join in I'll need the drugs.

That's a hard choice. Count me in for both.

I did in fact do paragliding to break the back of it before. Worked for a few years. There were no drugs involved, unless you count aspirin afterwards.

If you did use drugs when you skydived you'd never land, as soon as you started to come down you'd get high again.

I think I've now tried flooding, desensitisation, hypnotherapy, CBT and NLP. They were all NFU.

But, yes, the alien probe had its moments, especially once they set it to vibrate.

Perhaps another go with the probe would help.

Drugs, skydiving AND the probe. Brilliant!

Bad news.

My aunt, the one I have visited in Oklahoma.....has been given a week to live. She has had breast cancer for 14 years - outlived everyone her doctor has treated. Apparently the fight is coming to an end.

I am thinking tomorrrow I will take pictures of the girls, the dog, the cat, me, Jerry and make a quick little scrap book to send down to her. I don't know WHAT to do, really, just thought that would be something she would enjoy seeing.

She's a real fighter. Sounds like you'd like to go see her. Is that possible?

No. Financially it just isn't feasible. I suppose I could hitch a ride with one of my siblings or my mother to attend the funeral. I would love to see my cousins and my uncle.

I am really sorry. I think the scrapbook is an awesome idea, but I hope you overnight it. I wish there was something I could do.

Listening to me blither helps.

Sorry to hear about your Aunt Iowa. Sounds like she was a fighter! I'm sure she'll appreciate the photos.

Not an easy thing. Are you close?

No. Oklahoma is a good 12 hours away by car.

I am grateful for the time we have had. Truthfully we have been lucky for these past 14 years. That doesn't make her inevitable passing any easier, of course.
