Oh, yes!!!!!!! I know you are high maintenance! That's one of your nicest qualities!
I read about the super/duper coffee machine and was so glad to see the news! I love the smell of all coffees, but never learned to drink it. I do candles instead to "take me away" to other places and times. I try new ones all the time and try to keep my ol' favorites around for "emergencies!
Oh, and yes, I did fill out the papers once before, but the agency said you were in such demand that I would have to wait in the long line to apply! I've resubmitted again and found much the same to be true, but decided to turned mine in with all the others!
Now, on the scream ride thing......I think Chris said it perfectly! Whenever the ride is needed and however it is needed, get in that car girl!
Stress and protecting others is our enemy. Sometimes the ol' scream ride is just the ticket!
Much love to ya, girl. I'll be prayin' and expecting ya to take care of you every day. ma
