Chromie is my homie this Saturday at Santa Anita for breeders cup
If he wins the classic - it will be televised on nbc in the late afternoon - I'm sure the grandstands will be rocking

I was there in 2009 when Zenyatta beat the boys - I was hoarse for a couple of days from yelling - go baby go !!!

Katiee....Thank you for all you have said and I am so sorry this happened to you.I'm wondering if you get headaches from your good eye being overworked.You must've been so scared to be suddenly blind in your eye and not knowing what was wrong or if your sight would come back.I hope you are seeing better everyday and bless you for all you did for your dear Mom.

It's strange: I'm used to Cubs being lovable losers. In many past postseasons, they would kind of fall apart at some point and that would be the end of their season. I use the term "lovable losers" because that's what a lot of people say about them, but they're not really losers. If there is going to be ONE SINGLE "champion" team, then that means there are 29 "loser" teams? I don't think so. But this was the Cubs year and that's something a lot of people have been waiting for.

This comment's not really in response to anything lol. Spent some free time at work today looking at the Cleveland Indians fans' responses to their team not winning the title. I think everyone has a right to be proud of how well these teams played. A Game 7 that went extra innings has only happened like 4 times in baseball history.

Yes, yes, quite a season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team came back from needing 3 straight wins in a row and won the championship last June, so it is entirely possible when a team is that far down that they can come back. There are a lot of sad and crying little kids in Cleveland from the baseball team's loss last night. And adults....

I want all caregivers to be especially careful of their eyesight and health. My eye problem was caused by a spontaneous retinal detachment...fluid leaked out the back of my eye and caused retina to detach spontaneously. Didn't feel pain, just went blind in that eye very quickly. Very puzzling and frightening as I didn't fall or hit my head or anything to cause that to happen. The cataract and clouded vision formed from the retinal surgery a year ago. They say about 85% get the cataracts after the surgery. The second surgery for removal of cataract and placing of a new lens right inside the eye comes about a year later. I can see out of that eye now for the first time in a year, but retinal scarring has caused me not to be able to read print out of the left eye but all else clear. It has improved a little so I am hoping to someday be able to read normal print out of that eye. Now when I read most of the "work" is done with my good eye.
I honestly believe that stress caused this to happen. My Mom went through so much and it took her over a year and a half to die in and out of hospitals, rehab, many times and then my home. She was coompletely bedridden with many health problems,and I was her sole caregiver until hospice came on and I had an aide come three times a week for bathing. It was the roughest thing I have ever experienced. She was not in pain, but mentally I sure was. Stress can cause so much so please take the time if you are caring for someone to take care of yourself. Even small breaks help, ten minutes here and there for breathing exercises, to go out in nature, etc. Whatever makes you happy no matter how little, it adds up.
Luckylu, I don't have any reading glasses with rhinestones but those might be fun too. I do have colorful ones and a pair of leopard print! Have to make this fun somehow!

Mina.... My head has stopped exploding lol... Could this World Series have been more dramatic? This final game was just an extension of how up and down things have been. I'm SO PROUD of this Cubs team for never giving up, fighting through to come from behind and win the World Series!! I'll be celebrating for weeks and months! :-) Hope you can sleep some, I'm sure you're excited.

THIS GAME... is something else. Cubs have scored 2 runs to take the lead 8-6 in the top of the 10th inning. There's only 1 out and bases are loaded for Cubs. Wow. My stoicism is difficult to maintain lol.

Omg, Mina, they had the lead the entire game, I was so pleasantly amazed, it seemed so possible that Cubs would win the World Series! Well, there's no lack of DRAMA. And now a rain delay. You have my sympathy with having to lose sleep to see this, but here is NO CHOICE lol!! This is the biggest Cubs game of all time! xx
