Indianapolis Blogger Tricia Black Passed Away
Topic: Indianapolis Living
Posted: Wed, Jul 12, 2006 
30 year old Tricia Black (TEB) passed away last night after a more than year long battle with stage IV melanoma. Already an active blogger before the diagnosis, she chronicled her journey over the past year in blunt detail. Through her writing, you can clearly feel her indomitable spirit and love for life. An excerpt from her blog after being diagnosed:
It would be understatement to say that last week was one of the worst...ever. Not you got into a car accident bad, not you missed your flight bad, not you lost your job bad, but one of those weeks that you feel that nothing could bring you any lower. When you say, "So this is what it means to hit rock bottom." We'll we've been there. A few times. But the good thing about rock bottom, there's only one direction to move.
Start from the beginning of her story.
Also visit Teb's Troops, a non-profit organization created by Tricia and her friends to raise money for organizations that support the treatment, prevention, and research of cancer, including melanoma.

I was on call tonight, looking up research articles, when I came across Teb's blogs. I've spent the last couple of hours reading about her journey and I can honestly tell you, I learned more about caring for people than I would have in any medical book. What a beautiful spirit. You are in my prayers tonight.

Hello. I just moved to the Miami area. I am looking for a solid company to help me with a refinance. I purchased the house from a short sale and had to do business over the phone because I was living in Az. I dont think that I got a good deal. My interest rate in now 6.99 percent. I think that I can refinance and get a much better deal. Please point me in the right direction.

Hello
I placed an order on ebay January 19th, and it was shipped out the 22nd (I contacted the seller). Am I jumping the gun in assuming my package is never going to arrive?
