Apollo's Acres Has Grown

[Jenniblu]

Tina I will be thinking of you and your family in my prayers. My mother died of cancer in '99, and I still miss her.

I hope your dad will pull though this. Make sure to cherish your time with him now.

PS - I enjoyed your pics of the rabbits, chicks and Jeremy.

I want to thenk you all for yourprayers. It means so much to me and to my family. It has hit me reallyhard. If it weren't for all of you, I would spend the day in tears. Somany times I've thought I can't cry anymore, there is nothing left, Ibegin to cry again. I come here and I'm able to laugh and joke and getaway from it for a little while. So thank you all VeryMuch.

Peg, my parents have had a porcupine and an alligator. I've always wanted an albino skunk and an albino raccoon.

Gypsy, That turkey sounds just too cute. I may have to borrow him and the water fearing ducks permanently.

Jen, I'm sorry to hear about your dad. My heart breaks for you.I like the attack goose idea. Add that to Gypys, turkey and ducks, mychickens, no one would come to take Apollo.

Jenni, I am so sorry you lost your mom. My dad is a big joker.I hate that it happens but everytime I talk to him for a brief moment Iwonder if this will be the last time I hear one of his cornball jokes.I understand completely about not wanting to lose a minute with him.I'm glad you liked the pictures.

Thank you Sweetie. I found out aboutfour hours after we talked on Saturday. I am so grateful for yourfrienship Sweetheart, so much more than you know. I will tell my dadwhen I talk to him today. I think he is going to be pleasantlysurprised at the outpouring of prayers and support he is getting. He'sworried about how I'm handling it, living as far as I do. I told him Ihave the most amazing friends in the world. That I am ok.

I'm thinking and praying for you, Tina, and yourDad. I got a kick out of his chat with you onSaturday. Was shocked ot hear the bad news, but hopefully itgoes into remission or is slow moving. Don't give uphope. He needs positive vibes and prayers.

You friendship is a treasure to me. :treasurechest:You know how to contact me should you need to.

Much Love,
-Carolyn

 

[dajeti2]

Most definitely will be calling you. Noworriesthere. Can't get the long distance thing sorted out so I'm goingback to calling cards lol.

I am trying to stay positive and praying he'll be just fine.I'm not ready to let him go anywhere. That's final, he has no choicebut to get better.

<geekmode>I know Tina is on dialup, but if Carolyn isn't...you should look intovonage...http://www.vonage.comIts a phone service that runs thru your inetnet instead of the actualphone line...I have the 24.99 package and it runs 27.24 withtax. It has free unlimited long distance in the US andcanada. We've had no probs with it whatsoever. Youhave to buy a lil box to use it, but in the long run its MUCH cheaper(in our case) as we had ALOT of l/d bills with hubbys parents being faraway. Anyway...might be worth lookin into...If Carolyn decides to tryit, let me know, I can get a referal bonus if I forward her info..ifnot,thats cool too. Also, in the event your ISP goes down, ithas the ability to forward to another #, mine goes to mycell. Really, this isn't a sales pitch, just trying to helpyou guys out after Tina mentioned the l/d thing!!</geekmode>

Hopefully you guys don't decide the token geek on the boards has to goanytime soon....sorry if geekmode makes you crazy....its ingrained inme...

Bless your heart, PGG!

Thank you!!

:hug:

Wish I could set it up on my home system, but I can't. I hope Tina can though!

[CorkysMom]

She's on dial up...won't work...you have to have highspeed...sorry..

 

[dajeti2]

Thank you PGG. That is sweet of you and I'll keep it in mind for when we move in a year or two.

You are so sweet. How's Corky doing?

Tina

 

[CorkysMom]

Drving me INSANE wanting his stitches out...thelil stinker already got one untied so I had to pull it...I have a callinto the vet to see if we can pull them before Wed...they must be badcuz everytime he gets his hat off, even if I'm holding him he goescrazy tryin to get to em.. Thanks for asking!!

Made a call to one breeder that will have some Flemish babies ready inabout a month...may have to make a drive this weekend....see if theresanyone Ihit it off withand put down a deposit

 

[dajeti2]

Stitches are the worst. I know everytimeI've had stitches they hurt more a week or two later than they did thefirst day. It always feels like they are pulling and boy do they itch.Hopefully Corky can have them out soon.

He is determined to get those stitches out isn't he? He is sucha cutie and has totally captured my heart. I love him so much.

How awesome you can drive up and see the Flemish babies. Inever got to see Athena or Apollo as babies. Athena was 7 weeks andApollo was 4 months when we got them. Hug a Flemmie baby for me.

I can't wait to hear who picks you out.
