Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 207 | Well....will begin with the devastation of the passing of my beautiful cyber sister Liza...we met here about 2 years ago. I am heartbroken at her passing. Rest in peace without pain and drugs my dear friend.....will love you always.
Secondly, this morning the oncologist said to Rod...'Amazing'....referring to his ned & survival. He told us that considering the stage, Rod shouldn't be with us today. Well....stuff you cancer cells, he his, so eat my shorts!!!
Thirdly....remember how I was sacked late 2010 for absenteeism [helllllloooooo....my husband has terminal inoperable cancer!!].....well...I took them to court and won workers compo....my soliciter might go more. Still have a very heavy heart, but I guess Liza is in no more pain, and my hubby is with ned.....bitter sweet.....love you all xxxx

Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 571 | Dear Sister! What fantastic news about Rod! If ever there was a day we needed to hear some good OC news, today would be the day!
We've been in touch a lot today about Liza's passing. It was a comfort to talk with you earlier. Thank you. May she rest peacefully...until you and I catch up to her. Then, we'll be having a rip-roaring party! Love that girl so much, and you as well.
You have had a rollercoaster ride this week. Good news, sad news, and justice was served--I hope your former employer chokes on that heaping serving of just desserts.
Love you!

I loved hearing that you won your case against your employer for sacking you for absenteeism. Good for you! I hope that all this good news will help to soften the sadness of Liza�s passing. I�m sure her spirit is close to you and helping to comfort you. You are one AWESOME lady! Thanks so much for checking in with us.
