Congratulations! Have fun with it.

Congratulations! Well deserved.

Happy Birthday. Enjoy Today!

Erin has been postinga couple old pics of her and Axl on her instagram if anyones interested

Any chance you can post those pics here in this thread?

interesting tags after this pic:

"There was a time. #axl #first love. Amazing Talent. Amazing Time. #husband. Forgive."

A lot of ugly things can happen in the world, but it's always nice that in the end, boobs make boys happy.

I just went out with the ladies who lunch. Each of us is dealing with cancer in one way or another.

We drank mojitos, ate big steaks, flirted with men and laughed - a lot. So pretty happy at the moment.

Happy is as happy does.

I wish I had your attitude in general. Btw, when I had cancer, I was SUCH a cunt! (even more then now)

Well, I get that. Cancer is a BITCH. But I truly believe that you must find opportunities to laugh. It is an important part of any treatment. And it helps keep the upper hand with the bitch.

My Mom taught me that. She cared for my Dad at home while he was dying of cancer. And she would find all these ways of making us laugh, sometimes even when it seemed inappropriate - which is the best laughter, by the way!

How am I hoing to be happy missing a kidney?

By being happy you came with a spare.

And then those babies do adorable stuff, like mimic Axl Rose...

This makes me happy!

I really miss when my baby was little. I'm glad they are all young women, but I miss the baby. It's difficult to explain. They were all my little dolls. I loved all the 'sugar' (kisses, hugs and love). I miss that so much. I still get that but not all the time because they aren't here. When they are so young you carry them everywhere you go, you stand them up on the kitchen counter and they help you cook, they help you with everything. They say the funniest things. They wrap themselves around your legs whenever you walk through the house. You have so much fun with them. Those days are priceless and you can never get them back. I get sad when I think about it. But I'm so happy I had those times. I still miss them. There is something so beautiful about little girls that can't stop laughing! I miss that. Those silly belly laughs over nothing.

I'm happy now, but I'm not sure that I will ever be that happy again.

Great posts. Kids are the absolute best.

Why? can never understand why. Kinda annoying, take all your time, money, and freedom. Also, if you really love them, my guess is you can be too worried about them. It's like a part of your body if you're a good parent? I don't know. Not my thing.

I guess I'm just evil.

Actually what you say about kids is pretty accurate, but then they give a big bear hug and sloppy kiss and you completely get it.

I do quite a bit I think.

I do get your point and relatively speaking it is a bit of water for a very good cause. I can accept that. There was one of the videos, can't remember which one off hand, but it just used so much water to make the point. I've just been more sensitive to this since visiting Africa.

I saw that water was so precious in some parts of Africa, seems a frivolous use of a precious resource.

Hmmm, never just happy. Always a mix of happy, worried, stressed, sad, angry, scared but in different combinations at any given time. Right now? Heavy on angry, quite a bit of sad. Happy is in there somewhere but a little on the light side.

I am optimistic that the emotional distribution will change though, and I will weigh heavily on happy again in the near future. I may be bringing my nieces baby home soon. All I have to do is look at her and I'm just silly happy all over the place.

You are a strong woman Orsys. You have been and are dealing with so much the last year. I hope you can bing the baby of your niece home soon, it would bring so much joy to your family. Baby laughter would be very welcome to you all, I assume.

I hope it will be soon.

Thanks MB. There is something magical about babies. And I think this is how healing happens. My niece needs support. I can do that. I can help her, help the baby. And in turn, it helps me. My niece videod the baby giggling. My heart exploded out of my chest.

Happy Birthday!

Came across this one a few moments ago...

might as well post here.

Hey, I'd use Axl as my own personal hearing aid too if I could.

lol what the fuck is going on there?

Looks like they are dancing around a bit and then Axl spots the camera.

Thank you everyone. It helps.

i'm really sorry to hear that. my thoughts are with you.

if you would like to take your frustrations out, my penis is available.

Are you saying I can kick you in the balls? That might help a little. Thanks.

I am really sorry to hear that Orsys. My thoughts are with you and you family. It must be so devestating to lose a sibling and ofcourse a son. How is your mother handling this?

Take good care of her and don't forget yourself.

It has hit Mom hard. You're not supposed to bury your children. I'm flying back home today and will go stay with her while we figure if/when there will be a memorial.

My big brother passed away at noon today. I'm stuck at a conference in Chicago which was fun until I got the call.

This morning, before I got the news, I was watching a keynote speaker, Erik Wahl, graffiti artist. I was so inspired by this guy - to live today, think outside the box and do what you love. He made me want to go home and pull my paints out and use the right side of my brain for a while.

Then I walked out of the presentation and got the call about my brother.

Life is a fleeting thing. Like he always said to me, if not now, when? So enjoy today!

My big brother died today and he was an amazing guy. He had a heart of gold and loved everyone. And I just want everyone to know that about him.

How do you get rid of hiccups?

Yes, I keep several months supply of jelly belly jelly beans. I should be fine.

A few years ago my stress level was at a dangerous point. I was given a list of things to do and one was to stop watching the news. It made a difference and is the one thing I stuck with. You don't get the repeated shots of negativity that has to have an impact on your health eventually, and somehow you will still get the information you need to know.

There is enough heavy stuff to deal with in your own life, forget having to also deal with the heavy stuff in the rest of the world.

What about 5 hours?

That's called a date.

Oh yeah, and NetFlix, Primewire and YouTube
