shosho from los angeles

I know it wasn't intended & the comment may not have been visible to you when you said something about "pushing really hard" to get to the new page (p5 to 6 if my short term memory is correct!!!). The previous comment was 9lb something about Bailey, Anne's new grandson! Both my kids weighed in at around 6lb & pushing for that was hard!! I had weird memories when I saw your comment, not just about me pushing babies out but about me encouraging others to "push hard" when I was doing midwifery!!!!

I just tipped you over the page!!!!

The love & care shown on this site when people need support is overwhelming. You all are ! It is to be treasured. I will pass along all the good thoughts on to her. To be mourning and seriously ill at the same time has been difficult to say the least. Eight weeks of IV antibiotics...

Shosho, I feel for you. You should not have been left that long! That is not something I'd want to remember! My Daughter was premature, my son was early! My mother had 5 kids we were all around the 10lb mark! I delivered 13lb baby during my midwifery years, it slipped out as though it were really small! It was baby no 9 or 10 for Mum!!!

Hi Sharon! I had to get used to that name when Jano referred to you as Sharon instead of Shosho. Karen, Jano, & I had a good time together which included many hours driving around in different places all the way north to almost Ocala one day & all the way south to Sarasota another day! Have you decided yet if you are definitely going to drive from NC to New Smyrna Beach with your grandson? If so, do you know yet what dates you will be there? Rob & I are flying up to Michigan to spend some time with his brother who lives there & his sister who will be coming from Montana. We'll be gone July 1-5. Please keep me posted on your plans. Thanks. Hope you're having a good break this weekend to give you strength to get through those last few days of school!

Hello Sharon - a big for your best wishes on the birth of my newest grandson, Bailey.
Thank you from Amanda, Wayne, Johnathan and me.

Hi, Shosho! The 28th is our anniversary, but I'm free for lunch (Jaime and I will be going out to dinner to celebrate), so by all means, let's plan to get together! I don't have a cell phone, but I'll be home waiting to hear from you when you get to Georgia. I don't remember if I gave you my number, but I'll send it by private message. Call when you hit the GA border and I'll give you directions to a good meeting place (exit 29 - so it'll be about a half hour drive once you cross the GA border). I'm really looking forward to meeting you!!! By the way, do you prefer to be called by your real name, Sharon? I remember how excited you were when you were nicknamed "Shosho" (by Wagdy, I believe). See you soon!!!

And congratulations on the birth of Bailey! Apparently, I missed the big news when I was in St. Augustine earlier this week.

Hi, Shosho! I'm pretty sure I already congratulated Anne - I'll have to check! This is what happens when you try to get caught up too fast!!! Oh boy, I need to sit down with a nice tall glass of wine and relaaaaaaaax!

Can't wait to meet you in person! When do you leave for your trip?

When are you leaving? I know it can't be soon enough for you! Understand the heat is letting up a bit. Have a greaaaaat time with your GRANDiee. I'm sure you will get lots of pictures to share with all of us. Give both Jane & Kathy a BRUIN HUG from a fello Bruin. Have a wonderful time, keep in touch & when will you come up this way? Im going to have to tempt you with the Britt Concert Schedule. (brittfest.org/performances) I'm going to be very very busy the next couple of weeks - working 9 concert in 15 days (passed on last nights - Spearehead & passing on Bill Idol - both not my thing). Thursday is Earth Wind & Fire.

Hi Shosho [Sharon], Have a great trip, enjoy your family especially the little one. Say hi to Kathy for me, are you meeting Jane also?
Have a safe trip!

Hi Shosho - just dropping in to say - enjoy your trip and have fun with Brandon (as if you wouldn't). I'm so excited for you! Try not to worry about the men at home, sounds like you've got them well organised.

Hi Sharon. Thought I'd stop in and wish you a safe and eventful flight to the east coast. I'm sure you will enjoy yourself seeing your son, DIL and grandson. Have fun, and enjoy to the fullest!

Enjoy your trip, Shosho! Give your grandson a special zen hug from all of us and don't forget to take lots of video and photos so that you can update your page!

Missing you already!
Have a wongerful time with your son and his wife, I wish him all the best and a swift, safe return.
Have an even wongerfuller time with Brandon. The time you share with him will be so special for you both.

Hey Shosho.. have a safe trip and enjoy the same to the fullest possible. Thanks for the visit to my page and glad you liked the pictures.Not only your husband, but in general the species called husband have that expression when the spouse is shopping!!!
cheers

Hi shosho. I've been slowly skimming archives to catch up, and your post a while back about your brother and alimony stuck in my head. I'm often astounded by the strange decisions made by the powers that be. Hopefully he and his young family will get through this, and hopefully the ex will herself be in his position one day and realise what she's done. How anyone could drain (steal from) their own children's bank accounts is beyond me. I think they're better off without her anyway.

Dear Sho Sho,

I look up in Jane's page and i saw your photo together with Jane.
Oh! u had a lovely get together there. I wish i could do that too.
I thought i reply to you personally after you sent me a post. But later i found out i didn't but only on the easy to all to say that i'm safe.
Sorry for that sho sho, 'coz those days there are lots of posts for me and i was so much surprised and happy to know that all of you care for me, and i reply on the easy that i'm safe to let everybody know. i'll post again soon.

Hi Shosho. Your secret's safe with me (well, it would be except I think it's now public knowledge). I also enjoy scifi but my background is Math so my choice in "literature" is pretty low-brow.

hi sho sho,

thanks for your mail, sorry i didn't put remarks on my pictures so how can anyone know,
among the kids the one with the pink blousu is my granddaughter and the others are her friends. And the guy with the two kids is my son, (her father)
And you can find me on the mandalay series photo
no. 0403, i took that in front of the moat of the old Mandalay palace. Happy you visit my home page.

Shosho, thank for your efforts to track down a sheep companion for me. However, the adoption procedure for cyber-sheep did not go too well.
Maybe they are too strict about the kind of cyber-home they consider is acceptable? Members of the school of sheep already in residence here were most disappointed about not being able to meet a new companion. They were so looking forward to making friends with the new arrival.

Hi, Shosho! I seem to be missing you by minutes! I've been posting messages to you on "easy" right after you post, but I don't know if you've been reading them. I know that you return to LA tomorrow, and I just wanted to make sure you were taking advantage of all the beautiful things to see and do in coastal North Carolina!!! Have you visited the USS North Carolina in Wilmington? It's fantastic! I know you visited the historic port city of Beaufort, but have you been to the beach on Emerald Isle? There really are tons of neat things in that area! It was great meeting you, and I look forward to seeing your pictures when you get back home!

Hope you have a safe trip home shosho. If you don't see this till you get home, welcome home!!

Hi Sharon! I think you may have missed my Bon Voyage post on Easy before you left NC, so I decided to leave your Welcome Home post here on your page where you are sure to find it! Hope you had a good flight & happy reunion with your hubby & dad. Will be anxious to see your photos. Thanks for driving so far to come meet me & some of my family. It was fun to be with you even for a couple hours. Brandon is VERY lucky to have you for a Grandma!

shosho - It was good to see the pictures of you, Kathy, Brandon, etc!
Thanks for posting them.

Hello Shosho
Welcome back , i am so glad you had a good time in Fl. I like your pics .
We are also back in Lebanon , Tarek is arriving today for his vacation .Salem says Hi to you

Loved your pictures, Sharon! I hope you get out this way again and that I can spend more time with you!

Hi Sharon! I enjoyed seeing all your photos of your trip to the East coast. Never occurred to me that the houses on stilts would look strange to you! I was hoping to see a photo of your son & DIL. Bet they are missing you & all your help entertaining Brandon! When does your son have to go back to Iraq?

Shosho,
Little Plum lit up at the word "perseverance" because she knew when we signed up that it wasn't about winning, it was about finishing.
She was even the first one in the family to use the word "perseverance" to describe what her goal was going to be.
You just complemented her on what she's most proud about accomplishing!
Thank you.

Shosho, I'm thinking your change-over time must actually be 7am your time because by the time you posted, it was 3am Sudoku time and we change-over at midnight Sudoku time!

Hey Shosho, love the photos...so good to put faces to names...

Hi Shosho, nuttin' wrong with being a shortie!!!If you look up Rolanda or Colleen's page, we are all pictured after coffee last thursday. I'm a technophobe myself....leave it to others to do all that stuff

Hi Shosho (Sharon)! So nice to visit your page. What lovely pictures you have in your gallery...and beautiful kids and grandkids.
This is my kid...not as low-maintenance as you might think!
Anway - thank you for all the gifts and the wonderful birthday greeting. Here's some of my b'day cake for you to enjoy.
I always love reading your postings...looking forward to hearing more from you!

Shosho...we don't own them, they just let us live with them!!!

Wonderful photos of Brandon & your trip, shosho. I'm still on Sundays posts! Probably won't get to Monday & Tuesdays till tomorrow!!

Hi Shosho... I hope to take some photos this weekend, after the new old Collies arrive. I already have 12 Collies, so it will be a full house. The Collies give unconditional love, and the funny thing is, the more love you give and get, the greater your capacity for love is. (I know... garbled sentence).
The horses give love, as well as the cats and a few cows. But the others have their own ways of rewarding me. For instance, the ewe who nearly died and her baby. While mama was down, the lamb was frantic - standing next to her crying and baaa-ing. Once mama was able to get to her feet, the baby nursed, then bounced and leaped around the pen with happiness. THAT is a HUGE reward.

Hi Shosho...just had to stop in and see the picture of Sammie you posted. I'm mistook him for a Canadian with those moose antlers on!
I can tell he just LOVES dress-up! heeheehee.
See you on the pages!

Hi Shosho. I don't get to overlap with you on the sudoku pages, but I do read the comments most days. Love the pics of the family. I'm more subdued than usual courtesy of my kidneys, but otherwise fine.

Sharon, for the Happy Birthday Wishes for my #2 son Stephen last Saturday.
We had a family dinner, birthday boy chose the Menu.
Dutch Soup, Garlic Bread, Lasange and Salad, Apple and Rurbarb Crumble with Custard and Cream.

sending and Stay Safe wishes to your son as he goes off to Iraq again.
Stay strong.

Hi Shosho - Thank you for stopping by. I shared your message with Billy. If you have time some day, stop by my Flickr site. I have my husband's bikes there. Maybe someday we will end up over on your side of the US on one of those bikes!
