G.B. Smith:

I am ending the year with 10 operations and beating cancer. Moved to southern Utah to house sit for sister while she is on her mission for the LDS church. I got to meet my 20 year old granddaughter whom I had never met. She is gorgeous. I am looking forward to an exciting 2018. I doubt anyone will read this, but if you do thank you in advance.

Today was rainny and I was sure my knuckles and joints would hurt, but they don't Reliv LunaRich shakes and tablets have had me pain free for over a week now, and to top it off, I have lost 38 lbs.

May 28, 2013 at 10:46PM
    Barb Hensongispsaca: Cant wait to try. The clinics for pain where I am are cancelling due to lack of funding. Have to survive
    May 30, 2013 at 6:25PM
    Taffspride: Where can you get these? My knees hurt so badly sometimes I can't stand it.
    May 30, 2013 at 8:32PM
    Margaret Snowdon: 38lbs - that's amazing - I applaud you, Bear - and more importantly, you are pain free at last - I pray it lasts. I can't remember a day without pain - had the coccyx removed and then a bone in my right hand (where the thumb joins the hand) and still I'm in pain.

Ever have an irritating itch that you just can't get to? The last couple of days have been joyful and hideous. I want what I want when I want it, and i want it right now, but the universe is not cooperating with me. Friends that I love are being hurt, and friends that hurt them are killing me. Some days, it just don't pay to get outta bed
Bear

May 16, 2013 at 1:43AM
    waggers: Hey Bear - I knew you were a kindred spirit when you first responded to one of my whimsicalities. We have the same or similar slim svelte outlines and athletic outlooks on life - and you sing - thats the clincher. Main difference is that no one pays me to get outta bed. Congrats on Little Munch - hope it makes you a fortune.

I am Bear... I am about 3/4 the size of a doorway, and half as smart as a yak, but I sure can cook up a storm. I love to make people laugh, and singing gives me such peace and joy. If you really want to get to know me, just ask me. I never shut up, and will spill my guts like a drunken sailor on a Saturday night... I love romance poetry and let feelings come to those who wish they could hear the words from their beloved, but don't. Let them be your words of love and calm your troubled hearts.

November 16, 2011 at 9:36AM
    I am Cat: I love yaks... and a man that sings is worth at least a dozen yaks...
