That's a funny title for such a hard thing you're going through, love. You have an indomitable spirit, and an awesome sense of humour - all of which are excellent weapons against the enemy!

I'm looking forward to reading your updates, and your thoughts. Hugs

Just a quick Joke:

Four expectant fathers were in a Minneapolis hospital waiting room, while their wives were in labor. The nurse arrived and announced to the first man, "Congratulations sir, you're the father of twins."

"What a coincidence," the man said with some obvious pride. "I work for the Minnesota Twins."

The nurse returned in a little while and turned to the second man, "You sir, are the father of triplets."

"Wow, That's really an incredible coincidence," he answered. "I work for the 3M Corporation. My buddies at work will never let me live this one down."

An hour later, while the other two men were passing cigars around, the nurse came back, but this time she turn to the third man -- who had been quiet in the corner. She announced that his wife had just given birth to quadruplets.

Stunned, he barely could reply. "Don't tell me! Another coincidence?" asked the nurse. After finally regaining his composure, he said, "I don't believe it! I work for the Four Seasons Hotel!"

After hearing this, everybody's attention turned to the fourth guy, who had just fainted, flat out on the floor. The nurse rushed to his side and after some time, he slowly regained consciousness.

When he was finally able to speak, you could hear him whispering repeatedly,
"I should have never taken that job at Millennium Computers...
I should have never taken that job at Millennium Computers...
I should have never taken that job at Millennium Computers..."

Another one:

One winter morning a couple is listening to the radio over breakfast. They hear the announcer say, "We are going to have eight to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through." Norman's wife goes out and moves her car.

A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through." Norman's wife goes out and moves her car again.

The next week they are again having breakfast, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park..." Then the electric power goes out. Norman's wife is very upset, and with a worried look on her face she says, "Honey, I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowplows can get through?"

With the love and understanding in his voice that all men who are married to blondes exhibit, Norman says, "Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time, honey?"

Hala, first of all, I want you to know that we are thinking about you and send you kisses. You are an incredible woman and I agree with you, there is nothing better than just to be yourself in these difficult times: scream, laugh, cry! Who cares?? Just do what feels right to you. And we're going along with the ride, bumpy or smooth..Love, Rima's sister :)
