What a moving story. I can't wait to get a "Guardian Angel" for my family's christmas tree.
Congratulations to Greg and family, and thank you for looking out for those of us with families to protect as well.
What a hero, huh? And now he's a Millionaire, too! This is the kind of thing that happens to people who never give up on their dreams.
100 Monkeys are jumping about, proud and elated to see another entrepreneur living his dream.
What's Your Dream? What will it be like when you're living it? How does it feel? Who will you be? Where will you live? What will you drive? What will your everyday routine be like?
Are you willing to fight for it for 15 years? It worked for Greg. Maybe you can stick with it, too.

The Cure for swollen feet-Get a tattoo!
When my son was born, 3 years ago, I suffered for weeks with feet that looked like sausages with toes poked into the ends. My ankles were so huge, with all the water, that I couldn't wear socks. This is no "poor me, look at how bad I had it" story, this is just what happens when a woman gives birth.
Anyway, when I had my daughter, I was prepared to be barefoot or in bedroom slippers for weeks, I thought I knew what to expect! She was born by C-Section, and so my Loving Mother, a Cosmetologist and Permanent Makeup Artist, Took 3 weeks off to come and help me out with Noah while I recovered.
Now, My wonderful Mother is the type who doesn't sit still for very long. Everybody knows that, including her, so she brought some of her "Toys" with her. A nice big vehicle for collecting Yard-Sale goodies, plenty of small change for flea markets and such, and her new-fangled Permanent Makeup set-up. I got the benefits.
Since we didn't have a chair or proper lighting, my creative and talented Mom fixed up the Next best thing. She had me lay upside down in a chair next to a window in the Morning Sunshine. It was perfect.
If you're not familiar with Permanent makeup, it's basically a tattoo. Well. Ok. It IS a tattoo. You can have eyeliner, eyebrows, lipstick, cheeks, shades and shadowing for problem areas, cover blemishes and scars, you name it. She decided to give me permanent Eye liner. I was thrilled, and willing to receive my very first tattoo for the sake of beauty.
It took about 2 hours, and it tickled more than it hurt. (she put a numbing agent on my eyelids) and I hummed just as loud as i could to keep from squirming. When things started to wrap up, she handed me the mirror, and I couldn't believe it. It was beautiful. I would wake up in the morning like the Movie Stars. Makeup already in place. But I was getting a little uncomfortable from being still so long, I really had to pee!
Once she gave the go-ahead to get up and go, I had to first have someone swing my legs off the back of the chair and onto the side. Since I couldn't use my stomach muscles, someone else had to lift my back up off the footrest, so I was sitting in a crunched up position, but I could just manage to get one leg off the armrest and onto the floor. The guy pushing up on my back helped me stand up, and I was off at a snails pace. Shuffling down the hall, taking those "Oh. Oh. Oh." so small steps toward the relief and respite of the restroom. I thought I would leave a streak down the hall. I have never had to pee so bad in all my life.
I made it to the bathroom (barely) and must have peed for an hour. But when I came out of the restroom, I looked at my feet, and they were no longer swollen! I expected the water had just drained temporarily, but I was wrong. They never swelled again. Gravity and time had worked a miracle, and I could once again tie my shoes.
So, next time you have swollen feet from water retention, get a tattoo! It's an amazing miracle cure!

Why is a British DJ calling MY house at 4am?
The answering machine picked up without the phone even ringing. (It does that when the handset battery is completely dead). I looked at my husband, who never goes straight to the shower after work, but wants to see what I'm doing, and chat a bit first, and I said "Who is that calling here at 4 in the morning?" We speculated a few seconds about who it could be as the answering machine told the caller they had reached our number.
Brother-In-Law, maybe his car broke down? Step-Niece in jail? Mom Sick? We knew the kids were ok, they are in bed. As the message came to an end, and the long pause before it begins recording began, the room filled with an ominous, worry-filled aura. Mike and I looked at each other and waited
