Hi Everyone..

Thanks to Dr John for providing us with an interum board to begin to get our community back together and take our first step at making our community whole again..It sure has been a long stretch!..I began to wonder if BT would ever come back online again, and over the past couple of weeks I have really had this feeling of being disconnected from my lifeline..I can tell you all that I did not like that feeling, and from those who I was in contact with via e-mail I think it is safe to say that the feeling was mutual..What came as a surprise about the whole thing to me anyway was the fact that John had spend a good deal of money on the system as a result of the last crash, and this crash was at least as bad as the last one..Well, I guess I shouldnt talk to loud because I have no idea what is holding my windows 98 together..But it sure is good to touch base with those who have found their way here..Definately a step in the right direction..Thanks to Rick for providing his Pd Power White Rats website for some of us refugees to touch base at..

My Newport R.I. support group picnic was today down at the Saconnet Vineyards, which is in Southeastern R.I. in what is the most scenic part of the state, and is a nice scenic ride..There were about 15 of us there and we talked about pd, our symptoms, and there were a couple of members who have had DBS and they shared their experiences with it..We jibber-jabbered about this and that while some of the group went into the winery and tasted the wines or bought some..This boy stayed far, far away from there.. ..When I used to taste wine I opened the bottle and threw the cork away..Who needs that damned thing?..

Other than that the weather has been beautiful here, kinda fall like, and Ive started the process of getting my conch traps ready to go back in the water next month sometime, which is good because Ive been in a do nothing rut lately, and the more nothing I do..The more nothing I wanna do

So thats the deal folks..Great to be amongst you all again..What is going on in your worlds?
