I don't know you except through your blog, but I figured it would have merited a good laugh. I was at a friend's house at the time and commented on the Wild Kingdom going on in his backyard(including the above, plus a frog in his pool, several squirrels fighting over a tree and a gorgeous red cardinal battling a mockingbird for territory). He said he had never really noticed. I found that a bit sad but then considered that, until you, I might not have noticed, either...thank you again.<br /><br />--lisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-9185255248082386332009-07-05T23:49:03.578-07:002009-07-05T23:49:03.578-07:00I just wanna say that it was not me who steppped o...I just wanna say that it was not me who steppped on Carla's thumb... oh! but it's me who wipes her... glasses.<br />:)<br />nAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093448882607792552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-72962914374572624412009-07-05T14:39:05.818-07:002009-07-05T14:39:05.818-07:00I'm so grateful for your blog.

My regular one seems to be "there's a point to this, right?"<br /><br />Congrats to Mac for UCSD. From what little I know, he's a pretty amazing person. UCSD is a loss for you but also a pretty huge success for you, in a way. <br /><br />Love,<br />AutumnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-68268328950903569542009-07-04T02:32:25.408-07:002009-07-04T02:32:25.408-07:00Classic Jamie.

I am crying right now for many different reasons but when I read your thoughts I am ashamed of my tears. I just had a wonderful, loving note from your Mum. She is such a special friend to me and sees me for who I am. She loves you so much and through her love I am able to see what a gift it is to be a mother. Carla, you mean so much to so many but to Maclen you are the ultimate mother. Your freedom to speak the truth, let him know who you really are and the joy that comes from both of you will forever be a treasure to your Muselings. I, think, more than you can ever realize. How lucky I am to know you and your wonderful parents.<br /><br />Love, PatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-49118394180443873272009-07-03T09:54:54.364-07:002009-07-03T09:54:54.364-07:00Dear Carla; It is hard to respond to this blog, e...Dear Carla; It is hard to respond to this blog, except to tell you that you are an exceptional women. Your ideals and wonderful courage is so heart warming. It seems persons living on the edge see life in a different way than most of us, it's an honest and forgiving way that most of us do not enjoy. I knew a young teen that was dying of leukemia, her Mother, knowing that her daughter was going to die very soon, said to her that she was so sorry for always being angry when she wasn't in on time and always wanting to know where she was going and what she was doing. The teen responded with "Mom don't be upset, you were just being a good parent". Those of us who are not there, always look at the negative side of life and you who are there, see all of life's perfections. How lucky we are to have you in our lives.gail hildebrandtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-78423373708094917272009-07-03T02:11:08.498-07:002009-07-03T02:11:08.498-07:00Carla, regarding TMI 1, thank you for your deconst...Carla, regarding TMI 1, thank you for your deconstruction. I had thought it was all in the elbow. My proficiency has increased many-fold.<br /><br />Regarding TMI 2, you might have expressed it: 'still-life never ceases to amaze me'. The predisposing factor here is, of course, being stilled. It's a high price. Thank god for this payoff, and for the impotence of paralysis in the face of your irrepressibility. The predisposing factor here is courage -- but now I fear I am lapsing into piety. You are giving god (were s/he to exist) a damn good run.Charles Cowlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06757185376546920527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-47355822335288415202009-07-02T23:31:56.995-07:002009-07-02T23:31:56.995-07:00i broke both arms once

Wendy's right: it's a privilege to get these glimpses through your glasses.<br /><br />I appreciate your respecting my privacy, but you are welcome to share anything you like. It can only benefit from your touch. <br /><br />I love you,<br /><br />D.A.D.T.Jason E.
