I had a terrible experience on the first day of swimming class and thought I was drowning with no one to help me. Never went back. I never did learn to swim (still cannot stand to have a lot of water in my face, even in the shower), but my HS gym instructor taught me to float on my back when it became evident that I *would not* put my face under water. Since my daddy was a preacher, I probably baptized a lot of dolls, too, but have no clear recollection of such.<br /><br />Lovely post!Pat - Arkansashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11623638376731374600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378811542742450690.post-57336412640752046402009-05-28T00:24:34.452-05:002009-05-28T00:24:34.452-05:00Lorna, if we had a Y here in the wilds of the Ozar...Lorna, if we had a Y here in the wilds of the Ozarks, I might try that. I do shower, but forsook tubs a long time ago when knees were bad. Have new knees but decided showers were more to my liking. We have a lot of those foam noodles around here for sale to the tourists visiting the big lake.NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378811542742450690.post-55569614845137894642009-05-27T21:22:32.312-05:002009-05-27T21:22:32.312-05:00I too had a dreadful fear of water, but a few year...I too had a dreadful fear of water, but a few years ago, I took a Swimming for the Terminally Afraid course at the Y---I still can't swim, but I can put my face in the shower and zip around a pool if I have one of those foam noodles.Lornahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976144449873569523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378811542742450690.post-25140273076048763852009-05-27T15:18:37.662-05:002009-05-27T15:18:37.662-05:00Thought I'd just use this instead of the mail thin...Thought I'd just use this instead of the mail thing. Your comment about some of my meds being close to chemo meds is true. The idea is to knock down my immune system some....it must be going AIE AIE AIE to cause all this much trouble. The first time I took the methotrezate I didn't have any side effects I was aware of, but the last two Tuesdays have been pretty miserable. I'm hoping it helps, but the info about them is that it may take up to 12 weeks to see improvement. Oh well, if nothing else I get a sofa day on a day I usually don't have anything to do. I was tired today still, but got cranked up when I saw that Crazy Aunt Purl's garden is ahead of mine. Granted she lives in the Valley in California and all, but I'm going to plant my cantaloupes this evening after the shade gets over where I want them. I decided a bag of topsoil with an X cut in it top and bottom would do just fine and dandy and some mulch around it all to hide the plastic back.<br /><br />My email since this goes straight to you before posting is amber_star_98@yahoo.com<br /><br />Your post thing is acting up again!Amber Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084517063365211835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378811542742450690.post-73286235120001201922009-05-27T14:12:43.385-05:002009-05-27T14:12:43.385-05:00I really enjoyed this post.

My grandmother did read to me, and probably instilled the love of reading I have always had. One of my aunts gave me a "Children's Bible in pictures" that I read often. I read the bible a lot as I got older, espcially when I was trying to figure out why things were going the way they were.Amber Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084517063365211835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378811542742450690.post-35970902620580399552009-05-27T14:02:36.798-05:002009-05-27T14:02:36.798-05:00Thanks for all your comments.

I got it myself when I tried to answer your comments. <br /><br />One solution suggested I upgrade to Internet Explorer 8. or use FireFox. I upgraded for now.<br /><br />I am still looking. I know I got the message while surfing web sites.<br /><br />I am also have problems with my DSL ISP provider, with slower-than-normal service and non-loading of sites.
