You have no idea how much better you've made me feel for my son and myself...he is currently side-tracked on pills....and if I'm being honest, well I like to drink. It breaks my heart that he's into pills after the whole Karen Ann Quinlan thing...kids these days just don't remember. Plus, oxy's are certainly as bad as qualudes...I mean, how much can one body take? Anyhow... I hope we can both be totally sober one day....thanks again...lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-2743053249892128232006-10-21T09:06:00.000-05:002006-10-21T09:06:00.000-05:00Alrescate, I bet you'll be doing a few things in t...Alrescate, I bet you'll be doing a few things in the future.<br /><br />Julie, thank you again!<br /><br />Cheryl, thank you.<br /><br />Elli, thank you, and you are right, we do all have our stories.<br /><br />Lynn S., I knew we had a lot in common, one reason I read your blog as well.

Keep on keepin'. I read you because you're young and strong enough still to do what I wanted to have done. I'm older and ill now, but we're attempting to urban homestead here where we'll have support. We won't ever be 100% or even 75% self-sufficient--I just hired my housekeeper for a second day a week for cryin out loud--but we're hoping to do better than most. <br /><br />And I just turned down an invitation to an apple-tasting and sale. I thought of you and alllllll those apples, and the apple pie I made last night (semi-successful--must find better spelt crust recipe) and said, naahhh. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-92206025136184658712006-10-20T13:59:00.000-05:002006-10-20T13:59:00.000-05:00Congratualations!

Some parts of our lives are more defining than other parts. I think you have had a few defining moments in your life. It is encouraging to read about what others have gone through.<br /><br />EllieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-81868004566621752392006-10-20T12:07:00.000-05:002006-10-20T12:07:00.000-05:00Congrats on the recognition, and for turning your ...Congrats on the recognition, and for turning your lives around.

I knew about what you've been through, but now I understand why homesteading is so important to you - such a part of you. It seems like it literally saved your life. <br /><br />I have so much respect for you. Look how far you've come - and you're always willing to reach out and help others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
