About Me
You need eight seconds to qualify and at least 80 points or better to win a belt buckle and the purse. I lasted five seconds that night and landed squarely on my tailbone, which shattered on impact. My new mount has wheels and a titanium frame. After my husband left me, I found a nice place in town and I'm starting over again. My daughter is currently serving her country, fixing F/A 18 aircraft on the USS George Washington in the Persian Gulf. I'm very proud of her.
Interests
Spinal cord injury cures, horses, rodeo, music, woodcarving, and sketching.

You are an amazing woman. This will be over soon, in some ways, but don't be too shocked if there are some after effects for a while. You can handle it. I and many others will be with you every step of the way! Take Aunt Frieda apple bobbing and push her under!

Are you there with your Mom? How is ti going?
Flower
Sometimes I think I would have rather had a physical pain than the cold emotionless mother who always put herself first.... but then I've never been in those shoes, so can't judge - but I do understand your pain and the hard road ahead. I wish you a speedy and safe trip. Beat the demons.
