Why wear a ribbon?

  "i wear this ribbon for my daughters parents, who can't have children of their ow..." (chieston)

MDJunction to me

fluffyluggage"I found MDJunction at a time when I was struggling with so much. I
was so sick. I found a home, a place where people understood me, when
even my family doubted me. In MDJ, I found a place of refuge, love,
and support. I come here daily, to find my balance, to cope, and to
find that same support I've found from day 1. MDJ is my new family.
The friends I've made here will remain with me for a lifetime.

Was anyone else invited?? Doubtful it will work out as I live in Canada. They are doing a segment on oxys. Wow a trip to New York. Oh well I would just be a blubbering idiot. Too crazy hey. She contacted through this site and I called her in New York to make sure it was legit.

Hi all, would love to go on, but they said later that part of the show would be shot in your home and to bring the whole filming crew this far would be costly. She said she had been talking to someone who had a 15 yr old addicted to oxys, that would be a way better thing to address, how young they are and getting addicted to oxys. Well she will present my story at their meeting next Wed. and see from there. It will air Dec. or Jan and she will let me know. It was exciting while it lasted lol. Dont know if my son would be part of it??? I'll keep you all posted.

Trish you could be in the movies your so pretty...and can definately see you in the commercial. It would be awesome to be on the Oz show...he would have to allow 3 hrs for me if I were to be on there..wouldn't be able to shut me up..lol. I saw a segment on his show once where Dr Oz made the statement that an addict has 5% chance of getting off the drugs by without help and the other 95% needed help..he is one smart doctor. If only all the other so called doctors were so smart. The word needs to get out to the court officials so they will order help instead of prison or atleast the ones in my town need to get educated..it is not that their not smart, they can't get beyond their own greed and high and mighty selves.

Anyway I hope it works out that you are picked to go on the show..that would be super.

Going to see my baby boy this Sat...hope all of you and your loved ones are doing well.

Time is going by quickly and he will be home before too much longer.He is almost half way there. God Bless all of you and your families.Smile

yeah,I was,too. They were going to do a segment on cancer and since it took both of my parents; dad, lung and Mom, ovarian, we sisters have to be careful cause we've got a cancer gene on both sides. I said I would have to call them back. the guy said he'd call bak in an hour and he never did. What a bummer! All it would take would have been a 30 minute train ride for me, since I'm on Long Island.
I know you never promised me a rose garden, but you didn't tell me where to locate the flowers at all. I guess I'll have to find them for myself.
Eileen.
