Thanks for the invite to your blog on the Fiskateer site :) <BR/><BR/>Cameron's project is so amazing, what an awesome kiddo!<BR/><BR/>Something amazing that someone has done for me... wow, that is easy! My friends helped us out tremendously when my husband's truck was stolen the day before Thanksgiving (2007). We had just been Christmas shopping and lost everything. Our insurance only covered a little, plus we had huge deductibles. Our friends came to our rescue and made sure our holidays were still joyful.Carrie Egghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02804641300150181948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978768302600294700.post-70101675937542700442008-05-19T05:37:00.000-07:002008-05-19T05:37:00.000-07:00After my husband's accident there was a group of f...After my husband's accident there was a group of family and friends that would bring us meals so I wouldn't have to cook while I was taking care of him and some of them would even bring us groceries to help us out. My parents would even come and do the yard work for us. I don't know what we would have done without the help.<BR/><BR/>Fiskateer#3675Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235115021858652365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978768302600294700.post-11167039913448079712008-05-19T05:36:00.000-07:002008-05-19T05:36:00.000-07:00Kia Ora.

What a neat idea for a RAK. <BR/><BR/>I've suffered from a serious illness now for 13 years, and I've spent as much as 12 months of that time in hospital or in bed. In that time, people (often complete strangers) have rallied around my husband and four children and made meals, done housework, helped care for the kids... without the kindness of others I don't know how we'd have made it through. You can read about my condition at --- http://ruthies-blog.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>I guess what that's done for me is make me not want to waste any more time just worrying about myself, and I've been able to bless others with the same kindness shown to me when I needed it. It's great to focus on other people and not my dodgy body for a change.<BR/><BR/>Ruthie #4308Ruthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15536189215014554984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978768302600294700.post-70339074140206201392008-05-18T11:32:00.000-07:002008-05-18T11:32:00.000-07:00what a wonderful idea for a RAK. too often we forg...what a wonderful idea for a RAK. too often we forget those little things that others do for us that make life more bareable, Some time ago my dad had a bad kidney stone attack, and we had to rush him to the hosital, anyway the next day my newly married sister sent us a paper on a herbal remedy for kindney attacks and infections that her husbands uncle had found on the internet. Apperantly after he had heard about my dad's attack he had been so concerned he had searched the net to find something that might help. <BR/>The thoughtful gesture really warmed our hearts and actually my dad found that the herbal remedy really helped him,Karen Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13716052730769468684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978768302600294700.post-52168282230417293312008-05-18T08:37:00.000-07:002008-05-18T08:37:00.000-07:00When my mom was diagnosed with cancer last year - ...When my mom was diagnosed with cancer last year - i had some people step up and help that i never would of thought would so that has made a big difference in all our lives.<BR/><BR/>amy<BR/>#4257Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978768302600294700.post-3011185536482386472008-05-17T18:12:00.000-07:002008-05-17T18:12:00.000-07:00Charlotte Smith-my high school English teacher who...Charlotte Smith-my high school English teacher who always believed in me when nobody else did.BethWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088491082374113178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978768302600294700.post-49189399421846854932008-05-17T12:07:00.000-07:002008-05-17T12:07:00.000-07:00I'm working on a surprise blanket for a friend.

It's costing me more than any I've done before because it's made with specialty material, but that's my way of passing it on. I know it will be loved and cherished.<BR/><BR/>Fiskateer #1485Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978768302600294700.post-52768446345365670312008-05-16T21:55:00.000-07:002008-05-16T21:55:00.000-07:00I was having health problems and I finally found a...I was having health problems and I finally found a Doctor that wouldn't give up until he figured out what was wrong with me, he couldn't cure me, but he was to control the problem.

Nicholas had the brightest smile i ever saw, and after talking to his family i thought to myself that i want to get some card-makers together to donate Thank You cards for the family! The fundraiser was to help out with Nicholas's medical expenses so i know the family would welcome a gift of cards! This brave little boy touched my heart!jo-annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474602177683066925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978768302600294700.post-15598541546217928432008-05-16T14:39:00.000-07:002008-05-16T14:39:00.000-07:00I have a serious pain problem and was supposed to ...I have a serious pain problem and was supposed to have some friends over to work on a scrapping project for their bird club. Well, I was so sick the other day I didn't get out of bed till it was too late to call and cancel. I felt terrible when they showed up at the door with all their stuff in tow. They were SO sweet and understanding. Despite all the inconvenience, all they cared about was me. And they sent me an invitation to try again in a few days. I know it might sound like a little thing, but I found that so kind and reassuring that they wouldn't for a second show any kind of frustration--and I was so delighted that they immediately made plans with me again instead of giving up on me because I am sick so much. It means a ton to someone who has a hard time getting out and socializing to have friends who don't give up on you because it can be so hard to know if you can make it till the last minute. Thanks guys!<BR/>BTW, I just recently discovered CMTH and I love it!
