The lines make me nautious thinking about them and going from the milk all the way over to pick out a book is quite a hike. Parking a mile away (usually with a baby) is enough to send me to Publix. Oh but the prices and the one-stop shop...I try to avoid it at all costs but when you have to get groceries and socks and a car cleaning kit that's the best idea. Yesterday my husband wasn't feeling well so he didnt want to be gone too long but wanted to go pick out his own socks and since he wanted to see the new church building (move-in date is next Sunday!!!!!) and it is on the way to wal-mart -- there we went. Standing in the 30 minute line we brushed up on our celebrity news (poor Jennifer Hudson) and housekeeping and tabloids of coarse! Well the Globe had a headline that actually caught me off guard and I laughed out loud! I dont remember the exact wording but it basically said Ted Kennedy offered $25million for a cure. Hmmm. What boneheads. Do people believe this mag or do they know it is full of the same substance as Sara Faith's diaper? I hope it is the latter. Of coarse I believe in the power of prayer and I am no Dr. but if all it took were some rich person to offer a measley (in the scheme of financing research) $25mil then I it would have happened long ago. Money cannot buy everthing but how they want to fuel that it does. The author Im sure is voting for Barack. He has the most aggressive and fastest growing brain cancer with a a prognosis of 2 years max and a survivor rate of 0! The idea of him buying his health is insultingto him and anyone who has the GBM tumor ( or any malignant disease for that matter) or anyone who has lost someone they loved from it. Like my fam did. My step-dad died 9/29/05 from the same tumor but that is not why I was so taken aback by this comment though. It may be why it jumped off the page at me whenever i see a pic of the senator now though. This is my Mom with him probably 10 years ago. I am praying for the senator and his family and can only imagine what they were thinking writing something so rediculous and insensitive - oh wait, it's Hollywood. No one is safe there.

I hate all the hype given to Ted Kennedy about his tumor. As you know, my husband is fighting the same tumor and is doing it more valiantly and gracefully than most could.
Also? If all it took were $25 million for a cure - there would have been a cure YEARS ago...
KEEP BELIEVING
