Default roll call

I suppose this is Roll Call for today, 9/14/06? Liz, you have been a busy little bee and I guess we all need to get on the stick and take up some slack and help you out.

Roll Call can be started by anybody, anytime after 12:01 a.m. Is that right? Well if not somebody just tell me ok?

Anyway, if Liz wants to thats fine too. I had missed roll call because it sorta kept us all up to date in a way with what was happening with us. If we just wanta say hi, say Hi

OK, Mz Curious, behave yourself and take care of your body cause we aren't as young as we used to be. I hope the pain has gone POOF.

I am running late for an appointment and if I start calling names I will surely miss someone. I'll wish all of you a good day and hope pain levels are lower today for everybody.

I still have a pretty bad headache, but I got off on the wrong foot yesterday with my meds. and by morning I realized I had left some of the important ones off all together. Trying to make amends without over medicating

I am also concerned about MIL. She is in a NH, has Alzheimer's and isn't doing too good lately. There is such a fine line concerning her medications, getting the ones that help her with the aggressive behavour and treat her psyical problems all at the same time. So so sad for all concerned.

Well I didn't mean to write and book and I need to run to get myself together for this meeting. Here's hoping all have a good day. my love, Jo

Hi Curious, I am ready to pull out my hair today! I just started to cry and stopped...no need to waste good tears. LOL I don't have anything for pain so I am going to call my GP and go see her. I hate pain and lately I seem to be a woose!
Tomorrow has GOT to be a BETTER DAY! I will smile and be happy. Pain is not me...just a part of me. Now, if I can make myself believe that I will be fine!

Arrow Wanted to say Hi

I just wanted to come in and say hi to everyone. I am no stranger to pain, so I guess I belong here too. i have had resent back surgery and still not out of the woods yet. My surgeon wants me to see another surgeon. That is bad news. They think I have a groin hernia, I really don't know, it's nothing you can see though. Does anyone know anything about this? I would appreciate hearing from you.
Blessings!
Billie

Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing well today.

Slogo - I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. Hope the GP is able to help you out there. Good luck!

Curious - It's good to hear that you're taking better care of yourself today.

Fancy - Hi! I don't know much about groin hernias, but my dad had one a while back, and it made him pretty miserable until they got it straightened out. I hope they get yours fixed too, if that's what it turns out to be.

Jo - I hope your headache is better. Sorry to hear about your MIL. My best friend's mother has advanced Alzheimers, and it's a sad situation. She's such a sweet lady.

Best wishes to you all...

Actually, David Hosobuchi has put his name to it as well wherever he went in the last year or so so I'd think that JL has at least 1 co-driver.

The board of directors is at the wheel, as required if one obtains a not for profit status. For all practical purposes, Lester gave up control of BT when it became a not for profit and established a board.

He is now one board member with one vote. He may still "own" the site but is controlled, along with the site, by the board. It might be wise if we all chewed on that little fact for a while. Regards to one and all.

When I said JL was the only driver at the wheel - I meant in terms of he is the only person who is able to physically get to the server, and he is the only person to fix hardware and software problems.

Yes, there is a BOD (board of directors) but as far as I have seen, they are not involved in day to day things - like fixing whatever the problems is that has caused BT to break.

Yes, there is David H, but again, he has no ability to get to the server and do any physical hardware or software fixes.

JL is "the only driver" in terms of getting this current problem fixed.... and the "only driver" in terms of day to day operations.
