Yeah,HIV + opportunistic infection=AIDS.
And even if you get your T cells way up
into the 100s you are still considered
AIDS. Once it falls low and is called AIDS
it is always AIDS even if your T cells get
high again. My doctor said it a word game
and even though I am undetectable I still
have and will always have AIDS. And I am
OK with that. It is the hand I have been
dealt and I can deal with it. It could
always be worse. Some people never have a
chance to live, some die young and others
never know happiness. I have known much
happiness and I am already too old to die
young so I am blessed.
Have a great night at work, I think you
are great,Mson. You're an Angel...

I cannot wait to get home and listen to
the music. You got good taste.
Have you spoken to Bobbie lately? She is
going through quite the change. God help
her. I sure hope she got the strength to
write that termination letter to Lee.

I have to say I love you guys. I don't
know how to download all your great music.
I will have Mark show me when he comes
home. Drop off the key Lee is so
appropriate but I never gave him one.
But, will change the gate code.
I feel the stars are all lining up for me.
The new vineyard manager was out here
today with all his insurance, licenses,
and first he had to get past my vineyard
manager who knew and loved Walter and put
this vineyard in for us 8 years ago.
He wants to put everything onto a battery
operated system. He is telling the new
guy he will supervise it and then we had
gone over the booster pump and all the
other water systems, and I am starting to
feel sick. That is going to cost
thousands of dollars which right now I do
not have. Would have to borrow the money.
I don't want to do that. So, I called
and thanked him and said until I can get
income coming in I just can't do it right
now. He was very nice and said he will
back down. He doesn't have to. He is the
one who says it is crazy for me to be
climbing up and down these hills turning
on the water six days a week. That is just
the way Lee put it in.
The new guy is sending a crew out on
Monday to start cleaning up the Cabernet
and Viogner as I have been putting way too
much water on them and they are growing
wild. I am growing vines, not grapes.
Then we will begin training the new
vineyards.
I feel relieved that Lee is not sucking my
energy and love for himself and his own
reasons. Never for me. Always for him
and his problems.
Thanks for hanging in there for me
friends. There are worse things I could
be going through than surviving this. God
loves me. I am blessed. We are all
blessed in all good ways.
Love,
Bobbie

Bobbie, just click on them and they will
play for you...xoxo,me
P.S. You are SO very blessed...I love the
fact that you keep your head up and always
find light in the dark..you are so special
to me,my dearest Bobbie.. please know that as
time goes by the hurt will fade...you will
never forget but the open sore will become
a scab and then a tiny scar that will be
invisible to everyone although you will
remember where it was......
You are such an inspiration to me. You
could easily have become a priest, maybe
you are a layman, a priest living and
working among the faithful in the real
world. That is what you are. Mson, too.
I believe you. It will get better. It
was never all that good with the waiting,
all the pain that went into it. Not even
the good times could overcome my own doubt
and being upset by thoughtlessness.
I wanted to say on the little puppies,
that now they are California puppies.
They are going to be living the high life.
Sitting on some rich mommie's lap out by
the pool, with their little sunglasses on
and maybe a cute little swimsuit. Living
the Life of Riley! Definitely destined to
be the king and queen of all they survey.
Alan Jackson, the country super star, has
the same little dog. He says his wife and
daughters spoil that dog rotten. She has
her own wardrobe and is just way too
sweet.
Got to have breakfast. Get on here and it
is hard to get off.
Love you sweetheart, dear Homer,
Bobbie

My Dear Sweetest One Posted: 05-28-08 17:05pm
Just to be sure it is not confused with
the definition one can Google to find. I
had the biggest laugh on what Beline found
out. Just gotta think before I open my
mouth or start typing things onto this
forum. HaHaHa. So funny.
The man who will do the spraying came out
and also said, he couldn't believe I have
already had the Cabernet and Viognier
shoot thinned. Now have to pay for it to
be done properly this time. He can't get
in there and spray and the plants can't
breath which means I could get mildue and
lose my entire crop. Lee did not take
care of my vineyards. He still says he is
the best. Sorry. No, he is not.
Then Joe said my new vineyard manager is
his and his dad's vineyard manager and he
said, "He Is The Man." My place is
beautiful. Good decision to have him on
board and to get Lee out of the picture.
Totally.
I cried when I read what you said about
all of your friends dying from AIDS and
that you were the last one left. God,
always keeps the best for last and to
serve him which you are so lovingly doing
with your witness of love and faith on
this forum Homer. You are so loved. You
and Mson are truly apostles speaking out
with love and truth.
Who would have believed when the AIDS
epidemic hit and people were in a state of
shock, denial, fear and hate, that this
could be turned around to now there is
love, hope, respect and acceptance? There
are people who can't and won't consider
any disease because somehow they have it
in their brains that it will never happen
to them.
We are all living proof that we live in a
human body, a body that is imperfect and
frail sometimes. A body suseptible to
disease. There is never going to be one
living thing on this planet that can
escape the fact that we are born, we live
and eventually all will die. Just the way
it is. It is the pathway on that journey
and the love and friends that we meet that
make this a trip not to be missed.
Love to you MDSO.
Bobbie

Amen, dearest. You said it! The journey is
the adventure, not the destination. I
often think about Fred and Bruce...my
dearest friends...I miss them so much. And
Tony. And Tommie... I
could go on and on. I hope they are OK. I
often think I feel there presence then
*puff*...the feeling is gone and I feel
alone again...I wish I knew...I really
wish I knew.
Faith is hard to have sometimes. At least
it is for me. I want proof. To hell with
faith, give me some proof...but alas, I
have no choice but to believe...I have
to..
Out of every cloud, sunshine will come
through. When I read your words about
your friends you loved and miss, my heart
felt it Homer.
You can and are able to feel their
spiritual presence near you. I know it is
true. Walter came to me after he died and
I could feel him behind me just as if he
were truly there. He told me he was fine
and to go on and have a happy life. It
was really him.
He came to me one other time as I was
standing looking out over the new
vineyards worrying about the huge
investment and what it had cost me in more
ways than one. He said, "don't be so hard
on that young man. He is only trying to
help you." And, in many ways Lee did help
me with the vineyards.
We had lunch here one day and our priest
was here. We asked him about feeling the
presence of our departed ones. He said
that there is a real presence and you can
feel them. They are just in a different
dimension from us that is all.
Where is Mson? Where are you dear lady?
Has something come up that is hard for you
right now? I feel something has happened.
Let us hear from you. You are treasured
and loved.

Hey friends.
The only thing wrong is that I haven't
done my dishes for days. That depresses
me. The
grill is socked and dirty dishes
everywhere.
I have been busy working at the club Busy paying
bills and rent. Monday I did two
presentations in a local school. A
student came and told me she was a result
of a rape and that her
mother's boyfriend was abusing her
verbally. When he came to her house, she
had to go out or go to her room. I
thought that was not safe and so I told
her teachers. Another student was telling
me that her mother was raped mbae her
grandfather. Generations madness
affecting the children. These kids were
12 years old.
As I let my light shine, I unconciously
give other the person to do the same. The
more I am liberated from my own fear, my
presence automatically liberates others.
Nelson Mandela . I am frightened
mbae what my work can do. Thanks for your
prayers because they are being answered.
From Tuesday to today and tomorrow, I have
been working at the club. Your
prayers are really working because at the
club, we extended our hours and that means
my beloved husband and I get extra $$. We
can afford to pay ourselves pocket money
every week. That is what we were missing,
pocket money. My lover of a husband has
also got a small income coming every two
weeks. These is all because of your
prayers. I have no doubt.
Then a school that paid us $100 sent a
cheque today for an extra $125 saying they
really appreciate what we are doing. It
is amazing.
The admin also wrote me asking if I wanted
to be a supporter and I was busy with the
application forms and questionaire. That
lifted my morale and I will be doing my
best in this new capacity. Again, it is
all your prayers.
I have been so busy that I haven't had
time to get laid.

Mson, I am so happy for you...blessing
abound! How cool is that????? Praise the
Lord! Its amazing,huh? I am so happy for
you...I had to say it again...extra $$$ is
going to come in handy. I know what you
mean..its pocket $$ that I miss..just the
little extra few bucks to spend on coffee
or a treat or whatever...but it will come.
Together we can rise above anything...we
are connected as one..its GREAT!
Hallelujah!!! threw him all
things are possible. You know, yesterday i
was so down and so depressed and today I
feel happy to be alive again.... I love you, my
friends...I really do...
How wonderful is all this good news for
you Mson. You are an amazing giver and
now it is coming back to you. They say
what you give with a willing heart will be
given back to you ten fold. I believe
it.
Please continue to pray for me for I am
weak in my feelings of totally slamming
the door in Lee's face. All he has to do
is make a call and thank me for my
kindness and for listening to him and
advising him and it just tears me up. He
knows the name of the new vineyard
manager. I don't know how but he does. I
told him it is best for us not to work
together anymore. He says we will still
talk and he will see me around. So, I
don't know what I have accomplished here
except please God in time, that I will get
him out of my heart.
I am starting to think with his past
history, he never lets anybody go. He is
not letting his wife go with this ugly
paternity test he is going to submit her
and his baby son to. What a huge mistake
that is going to be. She has his children
and the power to hate him big time. I
have begged him not to go through with
that. It is his life and only he can live
it.
This is turning into a Greek tragedy.

Bobbie my dear! Posted: 05-30-08 13:29pm
Great to hear that you are making
progress. You did tell Lee it is best
that you don't work together but are those
your firing words? It is May 30th today
and you can still write that termination
letter if you haven't. It doesn't have to
be long Bobbie.
I am always praying for you Bobbie and now
I pray that you may have the courage to
cut the cord like I did with Rosemary.
She is just another woman in the world.
Her judgement of me doesn't get to me and
she is NOT in control of my life. You can
do it Bobbie. It is the same as removing
the bad tomatoes so that all the tomatoes
don't rot!
In our hearts we store abuse, bad
relationships and so on and so forth. It
is very hard to function with these things
in out hearts. We might function but
believe you me we won't be present to
experience life in full. So we must be
ruthless and let go.
Some time in 07, I picked up three rocks.
One for my high school sweetheart who
never left my heart, one for Rosemary and
one for Jessy. The rocks signify the
place in my heart where issues to do with
these people existed. Now it is out of me
and into the rocks. The rocks are on my
alter and they remind of what I have had
to let go. The burdens I was carying and
still trying to live life with two major
illnesses.
It doesn't come easy as even today I still
struggle with Rosemary. It is a step at a
time but the step has to be taken.
I will continue praying for you.
Now I will get ready and go to the lab at
the hospital. I have had breakfast. I
will skip rope, smudge and light the
candle. Actually I don't have time right
now but I will do that later. I am
supposed to treat my hair and clean the
home but I slept in after being in a
performance of women telling their stories
last night. After watching my friend
David perform, I decided that I will never
speak the same again. I will add drama to
my presentation. Then it can stick longer
in my audience.
Things are looking up Bobbie. You are
right, freely we give, freely we receive.
I work later this afternoon at the club
Better get going to the lab, hope you
terminate Lee's services officially. You
have the power woman.

Today Was A Real Blessing Posted: 05-30-08 22:24pm
The new vineyard manager brought out his
people and they were very good workers. I
was out working in the rose gardens, and I
heard the women singing as they were
working in the grapes. Beautiful voices.
It showed me a very powerful sign that
they are the ones to be here now. They
are very spiritual people.
When we planted those grapes 8 years ago,
I worked with four brothers who planted
them. I prayed for each and every one of
them and sang to them. Now these women
have felt the joy and expressed their love
through song for my babies. Praise God!
Homer has helped me beyond belief. He has
been down the path I have been travelling
and knows I don't have to be there. Light
is better than darkness. Homer knows that
and is such a light and shoulder to lean
on for advise.
Mson, I love you and thank you for your
prayers and support. God doesn't make
mistakes. We were all born at the time of
our coming in for a reason. I feel one of
those reasons is because we can come
together in this time and place and wrap
our arms around each other, give love and
support to each other and trully care.
Look how God loves us.

I will call him SL and never mention his
name again! Done. Exit. Finito. Finished.
Yesterdays news...banned from our blessed
lives...
You Are So Right On Homer Posted: 05-30-08 23:51pm
To acknowledge, you have to give a name.
Ignore the name, ignore the presence that
the person brings to you.
Are you sure you didn't study for years
for the priesthood? You are a very human
and understanding man. I love you Homer.
Thank you for all you have done for me
with your human kindness and
understanding. I treasure and bless you
for all that you are. A person we can all
be proud of. A man who loves and gives
back to others.
I had a wonderful time tonight. Went to
the winery dinner and the nice man from
church who is very nice and caring met all
my friends who love me. They all liked
him. I told them I am not about to get
involved with anyone. But, it was nice to
have good company. I sat with two
couples, one a doctor and a vineyard owner
and would you believe the doctor to my
first vineyard manager who thinks the
world of him. They appreciated the women
singing in the vineyard today. They know
what that means.
Waiting for my people to come back from
dinner. It is kind of like putting the
puppies down to bed before I can retire to
mine.

We Build It One Step At A Time Posted: 05-31-08 12:08pm
I woke up really happy this morning. My
new vineyard manager has 12 people out
there training the new babies onto the
cardion wire which will support them.
My guests are really nice. They came down
from where I used to live. He is a VP
Attorney and also a cowboy. Very nice. I
made them orange scones for breakfast.
Tomorrow, homemade buttermilk biscuits.
Got to have breakfast.

Bobbie,
I looked deeper into myself to see what
else was going on. I don't know if I told
but my sister in law told me last year
that she had been raped as a child. She
is now around 42 years old and had never
told anyone. I told her to pray for her
abuser for 2 weeks but she couldn't do it.
This issue bothered me for a while and I
came to the conclusion that I must tell my
brother, her husband. My sister in law is
in China.
At first she did not even want to take his
calls and she wasn't going to class. She
thought my brother would leave her. I
had to write to my brother and tell him
what was going on. This is troubling to
the heart. Then my brother wrote me this
email today and I was so grateful.
"Minneh,
I made a call to my dear wife and we had a
long chart. We talked for two hours and
she is very happy. Thanks for helping her
recover. God bless you in a mighty way. He
works in all ways for good.
Have a lovely day full of God's
blessings.
Martin."
I have also felt as though I was hit with
a ton bricks after the young ones in
school tell me that they have been raped
or are suicidal. It gets to my heart.
Really sad.
Anyway, we are doing well. I just
finished breakfast. I need to give
beloved husband a massage this morning.
and then I will
skip rope, do the morning routine and
treat my hair. Then I will clean this
place up. I really should get back to my
routine. I was so busy last week and my
emotions were raw.
Thanks for feeling me Bobbie. I looked
inside to see what you meant and sure
enough I found somethings there. You
can't feel for nothing.
