About Me
Hi everyone, I'm Tara. A Listia buddy sent me this way. I'm a 28 year old married gal that lives in Nebraska with my two toddlers. Aiden will be 2 on January 12th and is super advanced for his age. Patrick turns 4 on March 13th. He's learning disabled but is my little cuddle bug.
My husband and I were married on June 10th, 2008 so its only been a bit over 2 years for us. I have several health problems and am home bound with pending disability. Sites like these make the days THAT much easier, I love them. My husband lost his job over Thanksgiving b/c I was really sick and he had to call in. He's been unemployed since then and is still actively job hunting.
We all live in a 1 bedroom apartment and we are praying for and dreaming of better days to come. We're a strong Christian family and we know God has his plans for us.

I sent ypu a very expensive gift. The least you can do is sing on and give me a five, but as I can see you haven't been on since the day you signed up for that swap.
I am so mad you flaked on a child in my swap! How low can you go!
Bonjour (Hello)
I am one of your partners from the Read my Profile and post a comment swap. When I li your profile that calls back to me memories because I too am crossed there... Today I ' still have concerns of health and work but I have the luck incredible to have adorable two childrens and a husband who love me... It is necessary to say itself that one day the wheel turns : " today that does not go but tomorrow that will get better ".. That the new year brings you Happiness, Enjoyment, Prosperity and Health

Hi Tara! :) Thanks for writing back! Yea,probably it was almost daytime here when you wrote x) Really? Your father was born in Turkey? Do you know where he was born? I mean which city :) It's very nice that he is a doctor.I'm in the first grade of med school,so we learn only boring basic stuff.I was in the laboratory this morning though.I like microscopes :) Hope you have a nice day,too! Ezgi
Wow, sounds like times have been tough for you. But, I know exactly what you're going through, I had to go a little over a year with no home at all. It was a very dreadful thing, but like you're family, my family is a strong christian family as well, and it was great to see that we finally got jobs in the end, and now live in a really nice place near Denver. You want coupons for pop tarts? I LOVE poptarts, but I'm always nervous to get them because of their high sugar content, but they're super delicious. I'll definitely let you know if I run across any coupons! Have a great day!
here is the info for markdown syntax!!
So you can't really do html here, you can do markdown.
To make a bullet like on my profile you can do a dash and space then what you want to say. Do it for each line
to make something bold you'll want to use ** then what you want to say then ** again. But no spaces from the symbols to the words. Like This.
there is a site for markdown but I really don't know what it is. I know you could probably google for it!
Hello Tara! =) Welcome to swap-bot! I hope you are doing very well and will enjoy swapping here :) I'm Ezgi form Turkey.I have waited for you to update your profile and now I'm writing you for "read my profile and post a comment" swap ;) I'm sorry for your health problems and your husband's unemployment.I think it's very important that you are thinking optimistically.I hope everything will be better for you soon :) I watch TV shows online a lot as well.I used to watch American TV series when I saw them being televised on TV but never had a change to watch regularly.So I'm watching them online now.I love House MD (I'm in medical school and watching this show is real inspiring :D) I've recently finished watching all episodes of How I met your mother and begun watching The Big Bang Theory.They both are so funny! I love Barney and Sheldon =) Who are your favourite characters? I also like watching Two and a half men,South Park and The Simpsons! Anyway,it was nice knowing you through your profile :) Happy Swapping! Ezgi
comment for comment swap-- you and i would be very good friends. i hope this message finds you well, i hope you are feeling well. I too am homebound due to chronic neck pain. I have had three surgeries on my neck and i no longer can work and having this as something to look forward to everyday is what keeps me in good spirits. I was attacked by a patient at my job and she herniated every disc in my neck. My whole neck is fused and have limited range of motion. I do know though my life is a blessing and so is yours. I hope you are feeling ok and life treats you well. i would like to continue to be friends with you, please keep in touch!
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP WITH FORMATTING!?!? I used html for bold, underline, line spacing, etc - and it all disappeared into a blob....and it took soooo long b/c I thought it was my mistake so I went back and did it all twice! HELP!
