Happy Anniversary Sally!!! I'm sure you have lots of good memories! Even with my divorce, there were alot of good times to remember over the 24 years.

Taffy -- 6'2"!!! Wow! If you happen to fall, that's a long way down! My 5'6" was bad enough!

Beth -- How is Holly? Awwww...I didn't know dogs could get Bell's Palsy either. My father had it when I was just a kid and I used to bring in all my little friends to watch him NOT close his eye! Ah -- the innocence (sp?) of youth!

RW -- It's quite a coincidence that you're in the Human Services field. My last "great" employment was with the local Assoc. for Retarded Citizens whom you would think would show some compassion. But NO -- for the residents yes, but employees no. When I was hospitalized for depression, from the MS, that was the end. GO FOR IT!! Front page news indeed!

That reminds me, when I applied for unemployment while waiting for the SSD to kick in, usually you can't get it if they "fire" you, but the people at the unemployment office thought it was such a lousy thing for them to do, they granted my application. Wooo Hoooo, the ARC had to pay me after all!!

AMN -- Glad you're numbness is feeling better -- hope it continues for your trip. Maybe all the adrenalin from your excitement will cover up whatever's left!

AV8 -- From your pilot's viewpoint, what do you think the chances are that Fossett is still alive? Seems so strange after all the bigger risks he took during his lifetime, that a smaller, local thing could be his downfall. Too bad anyway.

Well, the steroids are done and I'm back in the yucky withdrawal now. Was so weak this morning, I could barely talk. Then the "bloodsucker" came for a vial of my red stuff and had some trouble getting it to stop bleeding. Apparently the steroids somehow increased the coumadin level so no pill today. My same vein was used three days in a row being she couldn't even find one in my right arm to put the needle in.

Hopefully in a couple days, I'll be back to my "good normal" -- whatever that is!!

Take care all!
