:bandance;  And it was awesome!   I met Nursewratchet at the dialysis clinic where she works, picked her up in my dirty truck (sorry Vicki) and we had a nice lunch at Chili's!  She was good and had a salad.  I was hungry and had 1/2 a turkey sandwhich and a cup of soup (and some fries).  So much fun!  We had lots of things to talk about and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit.  We plan on getting together again!

When we got back to the center we went in to take a photo (will follow when I get film developed in next few days).  And while we were there I got to meet Spartey83, as he was on the machine and doing good!  He plans on checking in with IHD more often!   :clap;

I can't say enough about these two individuals!  They were great!  I look forward to getting to know both of them more!

Thanks!!!!

 :2thumbsup;   I know you two had a great time.  It continues to amaze me how members meet up and make friendships.  Kind of like online dating but for friends (except for RichardMel who would rather have the date!).    Nursewratchet,  I know you feel in love with Kelly.  She is such a sweetie!!   Glad you had a nice time together.   :grouphug;

Kelly was too cute!  I was at the front desk, (playing Ssecretary), and she had on a "got kidneys" tshirt.  Recognized her right away.  We had a blast!  If I didn't mention, I am an illiterate about pic's and downloading that kind of stuff, so leaving that to her.  No pressure Kelly to get it out there.  Ya'll can see my office.  Sparty83 had a nice visit with her too.   :bandance; :bandance; :bandance;

I have (and I'm sure we all have) a special place in our hearts for those with "moon face." 

Can't wait to see the photos!

My husband has "moon face" and all I can think of when I look at him is how cute he is and how lucky we are that he's healthy.  It doesn't bother him, and it sure doesn't bother me.

I think when we look at ourselves in the mirror anything we don't like is always magnified.  I'm sure you look great!   :cuddle;
