In another thread, I'm not sure where, I mentioned that our family is dealing with some health issues that have been taking me out of the office the last several weeks.

That of course leaves me trying to do a full time job in about 2/3 the time. Not such a big deal for today's modern mom - we're used to it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

We'd hoped that by this week things would have been resolved and life could have returned to normal... or what passes for normal in the cerri and cerrish household, but it seems such is not going to be the case.

With the new information that we have it is apparent that I will need to be out part of next week and the much of the following week, and then from there we will have to see how things look.

I hope you all can be patient with my long disappearances. There are lots of excellent minds here that can offer support and guidance. Please don't think that you can't come looking for me, I hope you continue to do so as you always have. I just want you all to know that if I don't appear as often as I have in the past, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I have a lot going on right now.

You are all always on my mind.... after all..."I'm Cerri and I'm an MBaholic."

Now, on a serious note, prayers are very welcome. I only request that they ask that the greatest good for all be the outcome. I don't ever pretend that I know the mind of the Divine.... and I'm sure She has plans I can't even guess at.

Thanks....

My prayers and best wishes are with you and your family.

I hope that all goes well for you and your family in this time.

Rest assured that we all understand.

"...and I'm sure that She has plans I can't even guess at."


She????


Good Luck Cerri, I'm praying for you and your family. I sure we'll do just fine without you for the time being. Hang in there.

Thanks all... appreciate it.

WMWB...... obviously you don't know how really eccentric I am.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> Yes.... SHE <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

C

Oh, I see. Well I hope all is well and SHE can give you peace and comfort during all of this. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

By the way, if you need to get your fix of your favorite addiction, take a look at my thread (pulling myself together), I'd like youe opinion on the last couple of days...well actually I need to be slapped around and have my head put on straight. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Don't feel like you have to, obviously you have more pressing issues. We all understand. Take care and God bless.

Good Luck!

Cerri and family,

You know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Take care of your family.

Sue

Cerri, my prayer are with you and your family. You give so much to us on the mb board, it's the least we can do for you!

Sending you and your family prayers...

Kathi

Praying - for exactly what you asked for.

Wishing you well.

Hoping you are well enough emotionally.

Sending greetings from someone that cares.

Laughing about the way you do things sometimes, but thinking I understand why.

All the best.

SS

Prayers are with you and your family, as you are here for everyone, we will be for you.

Wow. I haven't had to get this contraption out of the closet for a while now. Good thing I got the new computer working this morning.

<places helmet on head><attaches helmet control wire to USB port><plugs helmet power cord into power supply><raises antenna><tunes helmet to proper frequency><concentrates hard>

There! Did you feel it? That was my warm wishes and supportive thoughts beamed your way through subspace! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

Well, you keep praying (or whatever ceremony is more appropriate) to the Goddess. I am sure many here are praying to the Christian God and/or Jesus and/or Mary and/or the Holy Spirit. I'll toss in a prayer to my religion's God (too bad we aren't allowed to write down or say His name, make sit a little tough to be specific in an email <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> ). Between us we should have enough bases covered to get you through this. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Plus all the positive thought waves generated by the many many people here at MB who think so highly of you. Hope you (or whichever dear one close to you is ill) get well very very soon. Illness is far to painful and messy a way to cure a silly MB addiction. Find another way! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Oops. Double post. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="images/icons/blush.gif" />

Thanks so much everyone, you have no idea what it means to me.

A really ironic side note, I found myself on a support forum for this thing that we are dealing with.... and really not even knowing what questions to ask. (And ya know what?? I don't want to know!! )

The first response I got made me laugh til I cried.... it said.... Welcome! Sorry you had to find us due to this. There is a wealth of good information here and lots of knowledgeable people who will help and support you as you learn. Here are some links to check out and here are some books you should read. I'd love to know the whole story if you are willng to share.

OMG!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> It was like having dropped into a parallel universe.... the exact message that I've read (and written) a thousand times here over the years. And being the very ignorant newbie with no idea where to turn made me really appreciate how much it must help to have someone offer support and good concept based advice here.

I have to say, as difficult as this is for our family right now, I would far rather struggle with medical issues than with infidelity. You my friends are the courageous salt of the earth to be here day in and day out determined to do what it takes to save your marriages. I am awed by the work you do in the very worst of circumstances.

Thanks again....

HOTI.... no matter what name you give the Divine, really all the gods are one god and all the goddesses are one goddess. An interesting insight into mythology hit me the other day, remind me to tell you about it sometime. .... And for heaven's sake, get that antenna off your head before someone sees you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Dear Cerri:

My thoughts and prayers go out for you and your family. Hopefully to that entity, who can provide the best available result.

All my best

Jack

My prayers are with you and your family. Take care.

Adding my thoughts and prayers as well!

Is "Ya'll" Minnesotean for "Y'all"?

Peace, good health, and all that groovy stuff to you and your family. Since the universe tends to work reciprocally, (probably not a real word, but what I mean is that the actions and attitudes we express tend to be reflected back to us - you know, karma!), I believe y'all will be fine.

And this agnostic will pray to whomever/whatever that it be so!

You're such a goof - Doof. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" /> Thanks.

Hi M!! Have your email - working to get there. You know what I'm going to say anyway.. LOL... but I'll still say it.
