Just a brief note to tell you all I have returned, and in one piece too!

There are PAGES of PN posts for me to catch up on.... I'll be able to do that tomorrow.

I had a restorative vacation, lots of rest, and have many nice pictures to transfer off my laptop to this machine. (gotta figure that out).

I didn't have much luck with the wifi up there...it was down most of the time.
When I did manage to catch it...I had to fight with the laptop keyboard and I just could not type on it accurately. So I didn't post here much. Sorry.
I didn't expect the laptop to be so frustrating.

I did however, use it to download pictures out of my camera, and adjust some with my graphics program. Now all I have to do is transfer them. I may run it here for a while to put the pics up....I haven't decided.

I see lots of new faces, and my heart goes out to kmeb and her recent struggles. I just have to plow thru all the posts. I will only respond to those, which seem to need an idea....if others have done well, then I won't reply then. So if you see me hitting and missing, that is why.

It is nice to be back....and have a bathtub again! LOL

those "hit men" who would like to "shut me up" because I post opinions
which sometimes embarrass drug companies! LOL

My current disguise is pretty good!

Melody's story about how people did not recognize her...reminds me of a similar one I had.

My thyroid got so bad finally the doctor's would decide to fix it...long story..very frustrating. But during that goiter time I had a pretty swollen face, it got very round. So after the treatment(this was like 8 yrs ago), my face changed. I didn't lose alot of weight, but my face returned to its more long less round intention. Then I went to a company CE meeting and no one recognized me.
While we were sitting down, I was talking to a friend, and one older friend turned around and said "I know that voice" and looked right at me! Shocked.
So I was not being snubbed as I thought, they all just didn't recognize me. We mostly talk on the phone to each other anyway all over the state, so I guess the voice was all!

Hi Mrs. D.

Isn't it amazing how the senses kick in and we recognize voices from ages ago.

I was walking on the avenue yesterday. I heard a voice that took me back 25 years. I knew immediately that it was the mother of a little girl my son went to school with. I will never forget her voice if I live to be 100.

I looked at her and said her name. Let's just call her S in this post. I said outloud "S", hi it's been 25 years. She didn't know me from a hole in the wall but that was okay. I said "it's me, Melody, remember, your daughter Marcy went to school with my son Frank??" She looked at me and after going Oh My God around 10 times, we both started to laugh.

Then she points to me and asks her husband "you remember Melody, right". He goes, "I have never met this woman before". I laughed my head off. Of course I weighed close to 300 at the time our kids were little.

She's a grandma now. How nice is that.

I wonder who else's voice I'll recognize. Because I sure don't know anybody's faces anymore. Not for years. lol
