This is making me think of something that...Anita, <br /><br />This is making me think of something that happened to Shawn the other day. A songwriter here, someone around my age, he might have written with her once or twice when we moved here four years ago..definitely not someone in our circle came up to him at this event and asked what had been happening..so Shawn tells her about the girls, a new addition to our family.. etc.. and the woman says jumping in with a disappointed tone.."Oh, why would you do that??? when there are so many kids here you need homes.." it REALLY stumped him and through him for a LOOP. He's like "this is my family... MY FAMILY!! it's our personal path.. our life.. what is wrong with people.. would I go up to someone who was pregnant and say "WHY would you have another child...?? " He just really couldn't wrap his mind around it.. I still don't understand why people want to hear answers that don't make any difference to THEM. Shawn decided that when it happens again, if it does.. he's going to say what Steven Curtis Chapman says "well, this is obviously something weighing on your heart.. and you should really think about doing it...<br /><br />So when are you going to let me babysit.. it's a short drive...LOLRobin Dodd Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14337916600407498866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-90440340914831865402010-07-19T21:47:29.132-06:002010-07-19T21:47:29.132-06:00G, I like "blood disorder." That's ...G, I like "blood disorder." That's better than blood "infection" since people wonder about catching "infection."<br /><br />Lisa, will have to remember the gastric-emptying med! Could have just said she takes medicine for that and been done with it!<br /><br />Laurel, she actually was wearing a one-peice. Just didn't have a picture to post with her one peice on. It doesn't really hide the tube well at all. Definitely obvious she's got something "not of her body" under there! =-)<br /><br />Thanks ladies!A.

There are some really cute 1-piece suits out there.<br /><br />Then, if you get asked about the little bump under the suit (which would seem to be really rude), you could respond, "Oh. She had a little medical procedure."<br /><br />Just a thought ...Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253303288242135440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-37865540632921384092010-07-19T21:39:05.626-06:002010-07-19T21:39:05.626-06:00I love the "to keep her healthy".

She does, just happens that only one of the 4 are for that reason. BUT, the way the question was asked, the people who asked who I didn't even know, I wasn't going into a lecture or teaching session on HIV at that time. But again, like you, I wasn't lying. I think it's easy to tell what people's motivations are when they ask that question. IF it was someone genuinely concerned I would most likely answer even more truthfully. It's a hard thing, especially as I know little ears listen big time! :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00106155913054285175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23254997.post-58884258045929829762010-07-19T21:17:11.447-06:002010-07-19T21:17:11.447-06:00Personally, I think what your FIL said was just pe...Personally, I think what your FIL said was just perfect. It is the truth. She can't take her meds w/o vomitting. She has a blood disorder that she takes medication for. I do to..I get my medication via infusions every so often. So..in that defense..that is what it is. <br /><br />Rude people. I'm sure she didn't 'mean' anything by it. But in my opinion not accepting the 'first answer' is just plain rude. And well...you're nicer than I am. I probably would have made some sort of comment that would have made HER feel uncomfortable.<br /><br />BTW: Ms. Princess Girl is incredible darling (and her sibs)Story of our Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01617622682686871400noreply@blogger.com
