She is in college and is unable to eat and is depressed. I fear she is in danger. She is resistant to my help--am taking her to the health clinic tomorrow.

By which, of course, we knew it was gone forever.<br /><br />I guess a woodbine is a vine of some sort, but what is a wangdoole? And where does that expression come from?<br /><br />Thanks.<br />A.D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-30750121081801955152012-01-18T05:40:50.618-08:002012-01-18T05:40:50.618-08:00thanks for these ideas, my husband is on the fence...thanks for these ideas, my husband is on the fence....or at the door of the Church, knocking.... but hasn't been directly asked by anyone.Ebethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090396741792229132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-1272131820899161752012-01-18T02:28:29.832-08:002012-01-18T02:28:29.832-08:00Hey Lebeau, You've been given good advice(Than...Hey Lebeau, You've been given good advice(Thanks Sister Martha)John of God patron saint of the sick, nurses and hospitals and be not surprised of booksellers and firefighters.

The Holy Spirit) led him. St. Augustine seems like he had ADD, too, but he also was very academic, which I have trouble with. He's also a very popular saint, so he's probably pretty busy. I liked this article I read about St. Augustine having ADD:<br />http://filmtraveler.tripod.com/Augustine.htm<br />It makes sense to me, but I'm glad you recommended St. John of God. I like him.Lebeau2501https://www.blogger.com/profile/10176393631164056855noreply@blogger.com
