Not been around much!!!

[mim]

I am apologising for not being around much to offer support and (meager) advice to our old and new members.

Those of you who know me, I beg forgiveness, those of you who don't know me, Hi I am Mad Madam Mim, now I beg your forgiveness.

Family life has been really quite hard these last few months, we have had bereavements and accidents, all resulting in hospital stays, and additional complications, so I am concentrating on fixing the world as one does when they can't fix themselves.

One thing I have been doing every Wednesday evening is still hosting the chat  and would like to thank all the new people (now old hands) that have been coming in.  We have had many lovely people popping in for a chat and giggle and it has been these evening which have made the last couple of months much easier.  Thanks also to  the regulars which help us in so many ways..

I have to finally admit I think I am having a 'genuine flare', my joints are on fire, started Thursday, Pred up to 60 a day and on high dose pain killers for a week to see how it goes.  Doc has said if it does not improve within 5 days will have to have the injections, as if they can hold me down that long to stick me......

Anyway, gonna go and crawl back onto couch and await burnt offering for lunch from hubby, lol, should not be so wicked he is trying.

Take care all, love to those suffering the weather in the states, pain in the bodies and despair in the minds.

Darling Mim...you should know, your personality is so much more than your presence! We are aware of you, concerned about you, and thinking the best thoughts for you, even when we haven't seen evidence of you for a bit.

I hope the dust is starting to settle and family stressors are getting better. I love the way you put it: "fixing the world as one does when they can't fix themselves", and I'm sure we all try to do that. Unfortunately now, my Dear, you are paying the price, so your mission is to rest, pamper, treat and spoil our wonderful Mad Madame Mim! Enjoy your husbands cookery adventures..."Cajun Blackened" is pricey on the menu around here, not sure what they charge for burnt offerings!

Hi Mim,
You continue to awe me with your positive attitude about life.  I'm so sorry for all the stress and heartache you have been through lately. 

When we were first married, my hubby told all of his friends that I was a very religious cook.  Everything I cooked was either a sacrifice or a burnt offering.    He was so cute................................not!  But it was so true.   However, over the years I have managed to improve............I think. 

You take care dear Mim and take care of yourself for once.  Let the rest of the world deal with life on its own for once. 

Hugs, Pooh

Hi Mim-Sorry to hear you're ailing.  Do get better, and join us as soon as you can.  I miss reading your posts/comments etc.  Lucy

I'm sorry for all that you and your family have been through during the last few months but am inspired by your continued positive attitude!

Now please take care of mim for a while......rest and enjoy the burnt offerings as much as you can (maybe just scrape the black part off a bit first  ).

My long distance chickle buddy,
I can do your injections for you. I promie it wont hurt....................much!!!!! Im very good. I've only missed once and we got it from the eardrum eventually.
No? Oh well then maybe you just gotta rest your little self and let the world fend for itself for just a little bit. Enjoy those meals, charcoal is great for detoxing and cleansing the system. You look after Mim cause if im going to be awake to chat at 4 in the morning i need you to be there. ok girlfriend. Otherwise i will swim the big ocean and come and kick some mad madam butt............eventually
