I am so so sorry to all of you who knew her personally, I wish I had met her. We PM's alot over the past months and got to know each other that way. We could really relate with each other and a few situations that were going on in our lives were similar. She would always be one of the first to PM when someone got fired up over a post I made or if someone was getting "pissy" with me. Talking me off the ledge so to speak and telling me not to worry about it. Her humor was the best and we would always PM back and forth cutting up on each other and about others here on the forums. She was like a sister to me, you know the kind...family but not necessarily by blood. I will miss you very very very much Shannon. I love you. Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event.

I don't know if it is really holding a grudge against this particular person, but he is not my favorite person in the world...is it a bad thing that Karma came and bit him in the ass and I got great joy from it? Knowing that, my feelings for him have some what died down. Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - Qinuo Van Dyk heard one of her children screaming from an adjacent room at a landmark South Beach hotel, walked into the room and saw her husband jump off the 15th-floor balcony, police said. She looked over the railing and saw her husband and two young children lying on a mezzanine roof at the Loews Hotel about two floors above the ground. Dr. Edward Van Dyk, 43, tossed his 4- and 8-year-old sons to their deaths Saturday morning, Miami Beach Police spokesman Bobby Hernandez said. Authorities did not release the boys' names. Qinuo Van Dyk, 40, told police she and her husband had been having marital problems for the past six months, but hadn't argued right before the incident, Hernandez said. Despite the marital problems, he said, the Alton, Ill., family had been celebrating the couple's 10th wedding anniversary. "It's unfortunate that this gentleman was so selfish and in an effort to get back at his wife he took the two most loved people in the world away from her," Hernandez said. He said the woman did not know why her husband, a radiation oncologist at Alton Memorial Hospital, killed the children and himself. Edward Van Dyk became head of the hospital's cancer center 18 months ago after the family moved from New Mexico, hospital officials said. "We are shocked and saddened by this tragedy and we offer our deepest sympathy to Mrs. Van Dyk and her family," hospital spokesman Rob Shelton said. Other doctors at the hospital described Edward Van Dyk as quiet, intelligent and friendly. Dr. Ed Ragsdale said Van Dyk dealt with patients who had severe forms of cancer and their subsequent therapy. "It's a very stressful job," Ragsdale, chairman of the hospital's department of medical imaging, told The (Alton) Telegraph on Saturday. "It takes a strong person to deal with that kind of disease all the time." Ragsdale told the newspaper he spoke with Van Dyk on Friday afternoon and that his colleague was not acting unusual but did not mention his trip to Florida. A Loews Hotel spokeswoman in Miami declined comment. Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

"That is kind of my issue, i know that there has to be a train that leave out of Grand Central Station any ideas?" Why would you do this? It would take twice, maybe three times as long to get there. Rent a car its an easy drive. Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

Big Talbot, Little Talbot, Huguenot Memorial Park, are all great places to "possibly" see a mantee...warmer water...shallow...not alot of surf. Big and Little Talbot are the prime place to see them...look for a tracking device sticking out of the water...when I saw one...I thought at first it was a sea snake or stick floating towards me...then I kinda saw a little "bobber" on the end of the "stick" and thats what was attached to the Manatee. Carrie, the sucker was HUGE!! not so much long, though is was long, but talk about wide!! Holy crap!! Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

I used to drink vodka and cranberry all the time way back when...to the point now I don't think I could get it past my mouth. All those schnapps, vodka concoctions...I don't think I could do that...too sweet...I am not a sweet drink type of person. Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event.

"I love seeing sea life." Me too! Ever see a Manatee? I was at Big Talbot Island, this is when I first moved here about 10 yrs ago...I was swimming and this "thing" kept coming closer and closer...I had no clue what it was, being from the N.E. we don't have manatee up there though I have seen them in pictures....well anyway..it freaked me out and I started to hit the surface of the water with my hand to get it to go away...it was HUGE...someone said to me its only a Manatee, it won't hurt you...afterwards I felt like a dumbass and was embarrassed..I wanted it to come back and play, I know they are very gentle creatures...I've never seen one since.

Wine for me too, Cab or Merlot. On a really hot evening I will have a taste for a Vodka and tonic with a lime, very refreshing. If its a bar-b-que...Mich Ultra light. If I am in the mood, I will have an after dinner(out never at home) drink/coffee...hold the whip cream though. Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

The cars behind me swerved into other lanes to miss hitting the people in front of them. Basically Bob swerved to miss the car in front of him because had he hit the car in front of him with his huge step van, it would have pushed that car into me. But, yes...there were NO tickets issued do to the fact that it truly was an "accident". Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

Actually someone is screwing with my SO. An employee, I am sure Billy can relate. No big life threatening action, just kinda putting Bob in an awkward position. Grrrrrr. Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

Thanks Vinny.

Well? Is it easier then stepping up and finishing something? Do people want to screw with other people..is it a lack of integrity? I just don't get it. Bobbi A miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

Yes, when I was first on "my own". I used to "kite/float" checks alot too...kids gotta eat....I became very good at it, but needless to say it was extrememly stressful, especailly when the money I was expecting didn't show up when it was supposed to. I don't do it any more...I manage my money much better and hell, I'm rolling in it.....NOT. Really, though I do manage my money better and going through "tight times" made me a very good shopper.
