Caring For Chris

Okay, so we don't typically get late-afternoon posts, I know, but if you don't read MckMama Without Pity, there's a situation going on there that needs our help.  Long story short, a woman named Elisabeth was desperately trying to get some help for her brother, Chris.  This is his site:  Caring For Chris  She was desperate enough she even turned to Jennifer McKinney, hoping to get some attention drawn to his site like she and Shaun Groves did for Unexpected Bliss.  I mean, after all, the UB woman only wanted to get "caught up" and Chris has very definite and real medical needs in order to simply become fully-functioning again.  She was, in a word, ignored.  And hurt.  So, the cause has been taken up on MWOP and I'm thinking we need to see what we can do here, too.  I know people are wary of donating after Krista, but Elisabeth has been totally forthcoming with much personal info and I believe this is on the level.  If not, live and learn but we have to take chances on people, right?   Again, here's his site and on it you'll find how to donate via PayPal or, if you prefer and are wart, there's information on how to donate directly to different places to help him pay his bills there, such as the rehab center he uses.  Caring For Chris   So, can you help?  Even $5?  Even in a few days, if not now?

Also, he's cute, he's single and he's in Texas.
Once he's better, I think we should fix him up with a certain Texas Daisy around here...that'll take caring for him to a whooooole new level,  now won't it?    :-D

Did she ever say who it was that was supposed to have sent her the email? I just find it funny personally because it wasnt like anything was said that was horrible....it was just humorous.

PJ said...

AP,
Will she get health insurance coverage running a concession stand?

::ducks::

Shannon said...

Blogger KISS MY ASS YOU NEED TO SHAPE UP ALREADY!!!!

PJ said...

Off to home - The Husband made dinner. See you later.

kristin said...

LMAO - you guys are hysterical. I'm a little upset that I have to leave in a bit to play softball.

Yes, I think she was upset for the things I said about her on here - but honestly - I would have said them to her too.

I also truly was going to say what I had to say to her on MWoP privately - but when I went to her site (3adorablekids - not the other) I did not see it - so I addressed her on MWoP.

I want to say that over there but I do not want to start her up again.

T@iy@ said...

Did I say 90 *second? I meant minute if I did. I'll post it. Pretty good for 90 minutes. I've made better ones, but they are all day or overnighters and too much effort.

RiM= that is indeed going to be Eeq's name! :)

Yes, I got my cinnamon rolls. :) I am still kind of craving them, and I guess Matt must have been to, because they are almost gone! I have been shirking on the treats since I have been pregnant, though, so he is probably just super glad to have baked goods.

Lisa said...

Awww, CK, that's so cute about the socks. Sort of a double smile for you. :-)

And you think *you nearly blew snot out your nose? I read it and thought "Huh, who would that be?" and then thought, "Hey, the fuck? That's *me! Oh, hell, no!"

I am terribly confused, though...Elisabeth just said on MWOP that Rhys gave them meat. Aren't they in two different states?

Lisa said...

"AP,
Will she get health insurance coverage running a concession stand?

::ducks::"

Sure. We'll put her on The MckFamily Plan.

Shannon said...

That is a little confusing....hopefully she just got the name wrong because they do live in two different states.

Lisa said...

Shannon, so it's not just me? That whole thing right there has me scratching my head and having some "huh" moments.

Margo said...

I like when she said she's fighting for us - nothing dilutes an argument faster than an idiot.

Lindsay said...

AP & Shannon. Um, me too. Huh.

Lisa said...

Hey, Lindsay. That's it, just hey. :-)

T@iy@ said...

Bwah ha ha ha ha! You Daisies are cracking me up.

CK- the 'little israel' comment.... about had me spitting my Crystal Light all over the computer screen.

I really need to start following MWOP and the fox news thing, because Crazy Kathryn could really just be a form of ridiculous entertainment. :)

Margo said...

Linds - fill me in on when Trav worships?

Lisa said...

Margaret, don't you think that's sort of personal?

Lindsay said...

He likes to worship daily. He's very devout. But I guess that's why we have so many kids :) Whoops. Is that what you meant?

Lindsay said...

Nah, not personal. I'll share it with anyone who'll listen. I kid, I kid.

Lindsay said...

Seriously, I forgot to chime back in a couple of days ago about Ayla and the hand signal. I wish I were kidding, but he thinks it's so funny to make it and try to lead me to the bedroom. It makes me laugh so hard, and I find it so funny, it usually works :p

Lisa said...

It's one thing to share...it's another to ask about it. :-D But I was just teasing Margaret.

Lindsay said...

AP - with Margaret, I'm kind of like an open book. Probably more open than she would like . . .

Lindsay said...

So, I'm still stuck on the whole meat/venison thing. I'm guessing it was a mistake because I'm pretty sure Rhys never has meat on hand. But I totally am scratching my head. I have *got to give up on my conspiracy theories. This internet thing is really making me distrust people!

Margo said...

I thought that's what worship meant but I wasn't sure :)

Margo said...

Actually Linds send me a pic and I'm making her hubs vulva cufflinks :)

Lindsay said...

Aaah. I guess she sent money to her? And someone else brought the meat?

Lisa said...

Lindsay, I'm thinking the same thing. On all of it.

Lindsay said...

M - I love having a friend who is so crafty. I can't wait to give those cufflinks to Trav for Father's Day. At brunch. In front of my kids and my parents. Yahoo!

Margo said...

Maybe someone hunts and she's going to send the meat? My brother does that.

Lindsay said...

Oh, and should anyone *not be able to tell, we are kidding!

Shannon said...

Ok I get it now.....Rhys just posted on MWOP about the meat and such and it makes more sense....I was a little bit on then huh side but I am better now :)

Lisa said...

Hey, Bella may want a set of those cufflinks.

And Lindsay, I just asked on MWOP.

Margo said...

Kristin is the word police and now AP is inspecting meats (not tubed).

Lisa said...

No, Shannon, it's specifically being said that Rhys sold a print, got the meat and shared with them. And Elisabeth says she brought it.

Lisa said...

I am beginning to be not a very happy camper.

T@iy@ said...

Catching up on MWOP is going to take a long time. Yeesh.

And Kristin- you are totally in the right. She's a nutball. I refrain from posting responses to her, but you are being nice compared to what I would be, I have to tell you.

kristin said...

oh believe you me - I wanted to be not so nice.

AP - for what reason?

Shannon said...

Ok I went and re-read....maybe I am still confused? It sounds from Elisabeth that Rhys bought it and shared it but it sounds from Rhys that she sold a print and donated the money to them and they were able to buy the meat?

Shannon said...

IDK

kristin said...

alright ladies - I'll let you figure out the mystery of the meat. almost time to go play softball.

see ya in a bit!

Margo said...

An mwoper won my give-away.

What's up AP?

Lisa said...

I just don't know, Margaret. I've got my paisley thinking hairband on though, and I'm going to try incredibly hard to be polite, regardless.

PJ said...

AP,
You are A Pie.

Lisa said...

So I see, CK. Please don't ever call me that here.

T@iy@ said...

Does someone have a link to the Fox News thing? I am trying to read and keep getting tripped up because I have no idea what that says.

Lisa said...

Ugh, CK, if that sounded like I was snapping at you, I'm not. Not even a little bit. I'm just a few shaded of pissy right now, sorry!

Lisa said...

There you go, Taiya.
I'm going to go watch TV and settle my ass down. :-P

PJ said...

Okay Ms. AP.

What's making you pissy?

T@iy@ said...

Thanks AP.

T@iy@ said...

Okay, definitely can't make it through the fox news comments. Just too much going on for my brain.

Lindsay said...

I have my orange (gag) thinking hair bungee in & I'm using it. Ha!

Margo said...

Taiya - the libel comment on fox news was great. I had no idea what libel meant... lol

I have once again overdosed on methadone.

T@iy@ said...

Margaret- dang it. Now I am going to have to go look for that one.

Margo said...

I was kidding - it explains what libel means.

T@iy@ said...

Oh. I thought it must have had good responses. :( So much for that.

Margo said...

I'm trying to figure out a summer schedule for my daughter - the camps are so expensive. I'm not sure what people do who have more than one child and most of them are 1/2 day!

Anonymous said...

Margaret, I'm thinking some boarding school in the Swiss Alps for C, or maybe that was for me. LOL

Our Park District offers full and part time camps.

Hi Bella! I'm so lost on the whole meat giving, Lindsay worship, spelling blunders. Ap is thinking with her paisley headband. So now I've resorted to lookng up random stupid facts. Send beer.

Anonymous said...

Oh great now I spell AP Ap. ::avoiding eye contact with the spellng police and AP::

Lisa said...

I sound sort of gadget-y. I'm am Ap.

A Pie sounds like A Hole, though and while I can't blame some for thinking it. I don't like how it feels to my face...lol.

Anonymous said...

I'm not getting the meat thing either, Sandy, but I have done a lot of reading here, at mwop, and at the fox news site, so I am all discombobulated. So, the meat sounded like it was from rhys, but it wasn't?

All I can think about is mystery meat right now.

T@iy@ said...

Thinking and I aren't getting along so well right now. I was transferring myself upstairs in bed where it is more comfortable to sit after cleaning up the kitchen.

One thing I can say for the mouse, it's definitely got me forming better cleaning habits. I used to wait for morning to do my dishes, but now everything is cleaned and scrubbed at night, then I just scrub the counters in the morning to get rid of any germs. I am still going to kill it, though. Somehow. I haven't figured that part out, yet, since it isn't going for traps or poison. I am almost desperate enough to get a cat. Eww.

Sorry, Kristin.

Poor Kristin. That woman is insane and instead she(Kristin) gets called out because nutso had her feelings hurt over her own inability to A) be human and B)spell.

I am not sure I fully get the meat thing, either. *shrug* I don't get a lot these days.

Anonymous said...

The bad speller lady (I forget her name) writes like SeeSee....with her top on.

Lisa said...

Well, here's the thing. I'm sure Rhys lives where she says she does...people have sent her stuff there and she tried to meet Fersher. I'm sure Elisabeth lives where she says since that's where Chris' therapy and all is, easily verified (not that I think anyone has a reason to need to). So, I'm going with the fact Elisabeth just worded all that oddly, as she said.

I'm not *happy about some things in that whole equation but I'm going to try to keep my opinions to myself. No one is being shifty or anything, though, I feel sure.

Anonymous said...

I hear ya Taiya.

Lisa said...

Kathryn reminds me way too much of TC.

T@iy@ said...

I don't know who TC is, but it sucks that there is someone in the world that reminds you of Kathryn, because we don't need 2 of them. Wow, I think I found my snarky place. It seems to always begin at the Crazy.

Lisa said...

Welcome to Snarkland, Taiya. And TC is Tiny Candi, one of the more...vocal...posters at OHIH for awhile. Nutjob.

Anonymous said...

TC had "get the last word in" syndrome. Oy vey.

T@iy@ said...

Oh. Good.

Did TC sic her Mommy on people who didn't play nice on the internets? Because they just might be related.

Lisa said...

I'd sort of like to meet Kathryn's mom. I'd ask her what happened in school and why her daughter missed so many days.

T@iy@ said...

"I'd sort of like to meet Kathryn's mom. I'd ask her what happened in school and why her daughter missed so many days."

I think you'd have to go further back than Mommy to find out. Did you see her posts? Or her blog? Ugh. The apple sure didn't fall far from the tree. There are times I think it is still attached at the stem.

Lisa said...

I saw Kathryn's but not her mom's. Well, maybe she just can't help it, then. You can't fight genetics.

ap i am sick of hearing yu bash my familie. arent we all in this togethr, wokring against theevil mommie blogger Jennifer? I thoght oopsiedaisyisaid was better than that. Leav my mom out of this, kthanxbi.

-My best Kathryn impression.

T@iy@ said...

Very true. Mommy's blog went something like this:

Blah blah............... blah blah blah blah blah blah blah................................................... blah blah........................ blah blah blah blah................... etc.

T@iy@ said...

Tsk tsk. You need to work on that, Bella. I give it a B for honest effort. :D

T@iy@ said...

I just found out my cousin is pregnant and due a month after me and no one in our family knew it. Guess we aren't getting invited to the baby shower. Well, we weren't invited to the wedding so it shouldn't surprise me.

Anonymous said...

Taiya, what? Is she not close to your side of the family?

Lisa said...

ap..i am sick of hearing yu bash my familie.. arent we all in this togethr..wokring against theevil mommie blogger Jennifer..?? I thoght oopsiedaisyisaid was better than that.. Leav my mom out of this, kthanxbi..!!

-My best Kathryn impression.

It was almost perfect. It just needed punctuation. Oh nooooooo, I went to her blog to get her cookie jar comment because I lost it and it's gone. The nerve! *sniff*

Lisa said...

Taiya, did you invite her to yours?

T@iy@ said...

That side of the family (my dad's) is odd. They don't talk about things. We are a small extended family, but they won't talk. We found out another cousin(same side) was one of the top 5 most wanted people in his city because he was on the front page of the paper. Every time we talked to his Mom, "Yeah! He's doing just great! Working. You know...".

My cousin is a lesbian and I guess this is taboo to talk about and for some reason she assumes that we are all going to treat her like a leper. I guess it's because I'm a Christian, but honestly, I would have liked the chance to actually treat her like crap before it was assumed I was going to (which I have no intention of ever doing, btw. just saying).

It's just weird family stuff. I would have loved to have time to make her a quilt for her little guy, though, and I definitely don't have enough time, now.

Lisa said...

Oh, God, that sounded obnoxious, didn't it? I'm sorry! My words are not nice tonight. I only was wondering how close you two are.

Lisa said...

Make a play mat for him, maybe?

T@iy@ said...

No, we aren't close, but it isn't for lack of trying. And I got what you meant. She was invited and showed to all of my stuff. It's just a family dynamic thing. We found out she was a lesbian from myspace and she got all freaked out when I tried to add her as a friend because I 'knew'. *Sigh*

I am going to make her some cute burp rags and send them along with my aunt to her.

Muliebrity said...

at&t screwed me out of internet all day!

Lisa said...

Wait. The lesbian is pregnant? How'd that happen? And yes, I know that's a weird question coming from me.

I'm sorry...family stuff can really hurt. :-/

Anonymous said...

The cousin that is pregnant is a lesbian?

(yes, yes, I know this can happen ::side eyeing AP::, Im just trying to get the dynamics of it all.)

Does she have a partner? Did they do AI, or pull a Melissa Etheridge and David Crosby with a turkey baster?

T@iy@ said...

haha

I have no idea. I found out from her sister. i was hesitant to add her on FB because she so clearly thinks I am going to be something I am not. I don't think sperm donation, because it is expensive and I know they don't have a lot of money. I am guessing a friend and a conception kit? Not actually going there with them. :)

T@iy@ said...

She is 'married'. They had a ceremony, white dress, etc. but it isn't legal in Michigan, so that is just what they called it.

T@iy@ said...

Awww... poor Mulie. No internets really sucks!

Lisa said...

Taiya, send her a friend request with a personal note on it that it's all okay. And sometimes you can just get a male friend to help. Not that I did that, I was married!

Anonymous said...

I completely second AP, just send her a note. If she doesn't friend you, then, at least you tried.

Nilia said...

Okay I think I'm all caught up!

Worked late (another fundraiser) but was able to keep up on my BlackBerry, so mad I can't figure out how to comment using it!!

T@iy@ said...

I'll think about it. I'll still make some quick cute stuff for her little guy, but i'll think about the other. Not sure I want to go there at this point.

Lisa said...

FT, I just had a note from SW...she's down her internet as well and reading us via Blackberry too, but can't comment.

How's Shortround?

Muliebrity said...

I can't believe I missed another Kathryn meltdown!

Lisa said...

Taiya, life is short - don't have regrets.

Muliebrity said...

I'm surprised that she didn't call me out for "bashing" her on daisy!

Lisa said...

Mulie, can you see it in Reader, maybe?

Lisa said...

Hey, by the way, who sent her the link? Anyone going to own it? Hell, no one will be mad, it's not a big deal at all (Kathryn, you're welcome to join us, in fact) but I'm just nosy!

Anonymous said...

Wasn't me, AP. You know I avoid those type of folk like the plague, unless I am attacking them on a forum somewhere.

T@iy@ said...

I wish I had thought of it, honestly. It would have been a way for me to comment to her without bringing up her brand of crazy at MWOP, but alas, i wasn't even part of it. *sighing sadly*

Shannon said...

Probably one of our more notorious lurkers :)

LOL If I would have done it I would have done a heads up but I am really curious if they sent it to her by making up an email addy or if it was just sent with a link.

Is it bad that I just thought that the over dramatics of the aftermath were just funny?

Nilia said...

AP: I didn't send her the link, I'd never heard of her before.

Haven't seen Shortround since Easter Sunday, I was hoping to see him this past weekend but too much going on. I'm hoping to see him this weekend. Mom saw him a few days ago and says he's a ball, no kidding, he eats like every hour! She said she was holding him and you know how even little babies get heavy after a while? Poor mom had to rest her arm on a chair because the weight was just killing her, LOL! Can't wait to see him again and of course an updated picture.

Muliebrity said...

Probably someone who hates me since I haaad to go and say I hope Kathryn NEVER finds daisy.

T@iy@ said...

AP- when she had the first of many snafus at Mcks BF someone was reading here and copying and pasting what Shannon and Kristin were saying about her, but it was someone who didn't have an actual account at BF. Just a name and no photo. Shannon had some theories about who it was.... I don't remember what she said though.

Muliebrity said...

Taiya, GM

T@iy@ said...

Oh, yeah, that's right. I remember now.

T@iy@ said...

Hi Shannon!

Shannon said...

Hi Taiya


From catching up your pregnancy brain is still got ya....hopefully it gets better :)

T@iy@ said...

I don't think it can at this point, Shannon. I am pretty resigned to it, actually! Luckily most of the people I am around IRL know that I am flaky. :D

kristin said...

OMFG - I am cracking up laughing - Bella you forgot to say - Kristen or kirstin or kistin... :)

I am sorry I started anything - but she was annoying - and I just can't help myself and I was trying to "save" face for MWoP.

Lisa said...

Ahhh, good ol' GM. Well, hell, I'd be fine if she joined us, too. I like things out in the open. :-)

Well, whoever it was, pass the link around some more. Fresh faces equal more fun!

Mulie, no one could hate you.

T@iy@ said...

If she comes here do I have to play nice?

Lisa said...

Kristin, don't apologize - it needed done. There's a way to speak amongst friends online and then there's a way to speak in a more professional venue, such as the Fox site. When people don't grasp that, it makes everyone they appear to represent look bad.

Shannon said...

I really dont think you did anything wrong Kristin. It was like the gal that said that the bickering on MWOP was taking away credibility. Well I am sorry but having someone going off on the TwinCities thing like a rabid Chihuahua does the same thing. And why wouldnt anyone question her or anything after all two days ago she was all about being JM's friend so long as she was able to win that IPad.

The over-dramatics were entertaining though you have to admit.

Lisa said...

Taiya, I think we play *too nice. So no.

Lindsay, it's killing you as much as it is me, isn't it? I know you know what I mean.

T@iy@ said...

Okay, well, that's good to know.

I am going to bed on that note. It's almost midnight. Blah. Night Daisies.

kristin said...

yes Shannon - Ashley really said what I wanted to say - she articulated it better.

She seems like another TC.

Yes, I did enjoy it today.

I am sore.

kristin said...

Night Taiya.

Lisa said...

'Night, Taiya.

Shannon said...

Well AP I am sorry but I really dont think that you will get your wish of GM coming out in the open...unless it is to make empty threats as she did before. I mean hell since we called her out about Lyrics she hasnt posted anything new there either.....sad because I found it to be awful funny to read about a lot of us through her anonymous words.

Muliebrity said...

I didn't remember TC being THAT nuts-o!

Shannon said...

Have a good night Taiya....and dont worry people all know that I am kind of a flake as well.

Shannon said...

I dont know Mulie considering how TC got there after her "banning" when she would come back and go on and on about how she had to defend herself if her name was so much as mentioned....it is awfully close.

Lisa said...

Shannon, I admit I was getting a kick out of Lyrics as long as no one got really hurt. I still say I can't blame her for being pissy about Wendy posting *all of her personal information anbd I can't blame her for thinking we were all behind that, either.

Shannon said...

Totally OT but I am watching this show on the History Channel...Hooked: Illegal Drugs, Cocaine. It is a history of how we got to where we are now with the laws we have. It is really interesting knowing that for a long time there were no illegal drugs, now because of the Harrison Act we are where we are.....crazy.

kristin said...

yeah - we have it on here too.

kristin said...

my sister is on FB telling me to go to bed.

Shannon said...

I dont either I mean it was fun sleuthing but didnt Wendy put it all out there and keep it up in her Grammy sidebar?

I am glad to know that I am not the only one who found Lyrics to be humorous.

IDK it kind of became a JM like thing where because of her avoidance and refusal to answer the simplest questions it grew into what it has become so what do we believe? Do we believe what we have found and speculated upon or do we believe what she would tell us which made no sense at all?

Shannon said...

It is kind of a trip seeing it all isnt it Kristin?

Muliebrity said...

Kathryn must have changed or deleted her real crazy stuff!

kristin said...

yup - alright ladies - going to go shower and go to bed.

My sis is kinda pissin' me off.

Lisa said...

She did, Shannon, and we all talked about it but SIP was private so really, no harm done there. But when she posted it all on Fellowship, publicly, that was totally out of line. I'll own all day I don't like Maria but who can blame her for being pissed about that and including anyone on SIP in her pissedness (<- new word)?

Lisa said...

Goodnight, Kristin.

It's after midnight and I'm eating chili sauce. I bet I have some interesting dreams tonight.

Shannon said...

Oh yeah how did I forget that Fellowship got used for her to post all of that. I have called her out several times because I have issues with her but I dont think I would post where she lives or works or that kind of stuff LOL

Shannon said...

LOL I just ate stew about an hour ago and have my guns set on some MooseTracks ice cream....that could make some dreams for myself as well.



And you know what is weird? I have NEVER been one to make my bed...now that I have a new bed I keep making it and have not only the comforter but also a flat sheet....usually the flat sheet sits in the closet gathering dust.

Lisa said...

Nor would I have, publicly. Wendy had a personal beef and basically dragged us along for the ride. That caused some innocent people some worry and hurt - guilt by association, I suppose.

Lisa said...

It'll pass, Shannon. :-)

Muliebrity said...

So GM got all of her personal information posted in the internets by Won? That's the kind of thing that freaks me out. I wonder if anything neg happened to GM because of it?

Shannon said...

:)....I can only hope because I dont know that I can live this way LOL

Well it is only 9 here but the husband has started the bedtime movie so I must go off to bed now. See ya all bright in early in the morning :)

Muliebrity said...

Time to "Christen" the new bed, Shannon! ;-)

Shannon said...

HEHEHE yes there will be worship after the movie to consumate the new bed into the relationship. :)

Muliebrity said...

seeing a lot of familiar faces on MWOP tonight. Seems like MckBlogFrog will soon be full of crickets.

Muliebrity said...

Shannon, I am suddenly regretting opening that door. Please keep your "christening" to yourself! lol
