Welcome home, Wayleaf and Virginia.

Hello! Hello! Good to see a name I recognize, Salpalsally. Love the picture of the cutie love puppy. I know, the dog is no puppy, but when they are cute they are all love puppies. My love puppy is nearly fourteen. ha.

Hiya Margie! And everyone else--some of whom I kind of remember, maybe I remember their forum name but not their real name, but in any case it's very nice to see people finding this place.

Hello Nancy,
how are you? And what have you been up to? m

Wayleaf,
I sent you a PM.

Wow, so many familar 'faces'. Feels like coming home.
Karliann, so sorry to hear of your loss.

Bnt Gal, thank you so much for letting me know of this site. I've been stumbling around in the dark all summer.

I lost my job of 24 years on July 14. They eliminated my position. Funding wasn't the problem; I had obtained much of it. My guess is my worsening MS and heart attack didn't fit the bill, so to speak. This after struggling to miss as little as possible, not missing a single day the last quarter of the year and having had an excellent performance review.

Ah well. After some time freaking out, I applied for short term disability from old agency's insurance. This was during my two weeks severance pay. I was approved. I also decided I need to work some for my own mental health and health insurance. I got a job 21 hrs a week, teaching ESL to adults in a family literacy program, and will continue to receive the disability part time.

In terms of pay, I am working to pay insurance. This first pay, I will owe them. But it truly is worth it. I'm doing what I love. Funding is only set for this school year, and we'll see if we are renewed. Meanwhile, life goes on.

MS has decided to whip my tail however. Walking is more than difficult and this new school is tough. Girl's room is about a mile away. I'll figure it out I guess.

Anyway, wonderful to have found this place. Thank you, Dar.

I'm here, but had to re-register to get on. I'm not even sure if I registered with my old name, but it's close enough that some of you might remember me, LOL!!!

Ssusan, seeing you here makes it feel more like home. I love all the names that are showing up. I saw Laz on another thread as well. I just hope everyone waiting for BT1 to come back on line, does a new search and finds this place so they can join us.

Nice to see everyone.
Special hello and thanks to Dar for giving SSusan the address. She passed it on to me. When I click on the old link I just get a message that Braintalk is unavailable....SSusan just gets a blank page. How did everyone find this?

I posted the link on MSWorld. Many people use both boards so I thought it might reach a few more of us.

Nice to have you all again.
Linda
