what to take for a cold. please h elp thanks

Merry Christmas to you too...and to all our fellow Febbers. This year has brought many changes to my life...the first and most obvious being the 126 pounds I have lost. I am grateful to God for me being able to have this surgery, coming through it OK and doing so well afterwards. I checked my BMI yesterday, and I am ~N~O~R~M~A~L~ Another change for me this year is the start of a new job, which I love. I have been separated from my husband for most of this year, and I have filed for divorce, but we are still friends, and we happily co-parent Mason. I am thankful for my kids, for their health and happiness, and for all they have done to help me this year. They are a great bunch of kids, and I love them dearly. I am also SO thankful that my sister, after 5 years of trying, FINALLY had her gastric bypass on Wednesday, Dec. 21...and she is doing great so far. I can't wait for her to catch up with me on the weight loss! Well...I probably could go on and on with more stuff...but I won't bore you any longer! Even though I don't post that often, I do regulary read this board and I am thankful for all the input and encouragement that is found here. You guys are great! So....Merry Christmas to all and I hope and pray for a Happy 2006, with God's blessings on you all. Your friend, Sheila

Dana wishing you, your family and all out Feb friends a very blessed holiday and new year. It's been an very eventful year for my family an we are happy to be starting a new year. This year my son in law was diagnosed with bladder cancer, my 23 mon old grandson a week later was diagnosed Autisic and last week my grand daughter had her adenoids and tonsils out where she scared us all when a bloodclotting disorder (which I have) showed up...she is fine now and we are all looking forward to a new year and I have left behind 85 lbs and am back to a normal BMI as of this morning after 4 years of being overweight...oh okay hate to admit this but I was morbidly obese 3 out of 4 of those years...awesome Christmas gift for Jesus for us to have this new start. I promise to make the best pf it and be the best and healthiest I can for the rest of my life. Happy Holidays. I love you all as well...you have been my rock even times I have not posted but I always know you are all there if I need help.

Well Christmas is upon us...a time to share with family and friends....a time to be grateful and thankful for all God has given and bestowed on us this year. We are cooking our annual chicken and sausage okra gumbo today....the S/F pecan pies and S/F cherry cheesecake are baked and ready for tomorrow. We'll make a large pork roast tomorrow to enjoy the day with my family and a couple of friends that will join us and celebrate the birth of Christ. A tradition in our home is to wake up Christmas morning and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus, then the kids will destroy my house ripping into all the presents they've gotten (way to many I might add). Then the day is free to enjoy with each other. Wishing all of you a Very Merry Christmas and a fantastic 2006. I love all of you....you all have definitely inspired me this year....I'll NEVER forget yall. May God continue to bless each of you. Dana

Thanks for postingl. Prayers goe out to Emily's family. I have worked with children that have cancer, but that is so awful that they had so little time to deal with her disease and death. It is very wonderful that they donated her organs, as there are so many children waiting for transplants. I hope this brings them some peace. I hope that you and your family and community can have a happy holiday season despite the tragedy of Emily's death. Take care. Chris
