Guess when I shut my computer off 3 minutes before Marg posted, I should have thought "gee, I wonder if Marg ir going to snarf 4000?"

[Glenda Harvey]

Good Morning All. :smilies0295: Onto the next goal! Whatever that is... :smilies0717:

[Gina Stevenson]

Let's see, Glenda ... think we can make it to the next palindrome ... it's close to this one ... it's ...............................

[Gina Stevenson]

4004 !

[Susan Unger]

I made leeks for the first time today. Interesting little vegetable...

Oh, they're good! So sweet ............ sweeter than so-called "sweet onions." But so much. First bought them awhile back on sale, and now look for them to be on sale again, as they're a bit much when not. But, oh sooooooooo good. LEEK SOUP sounds good about now! (oh, yeah ... I do have some sweet/french onion soup in the fridge from a cpl days ago to warm up. ;o) Sometimes I'll just take soup out & eat it cold, too.

[Steven Burton]

I have to say I never expected humanity to last into the 4000s.

[Mark Metcalfe]

4004 !



OH, I should have thought if this one, but I was so happy about the BIG ONE that I forgot about it!! Nice use of color, too, Gina! I like it a lot!

3:05 AM?! Really!?

No, actually it was 4:05. Aren't you on EDST , too, Mark ?


Guess when I shut my computer off 3 minutes before Marg posted, I should have thought "gee, I wonder if Marg ir going to snarf 4000?"

Actually , it was post 3993 I snarfed not 4000 but I got it by waiting for someone - you , as it turned out - to post and not doing 6 posts in a row to snarf 4000 like Mark or two in a row like Gina to get 4004 .
I took my chances on losing the honour by slipping in just at the right time !

9 posts today and managed 1 hour 39 minutes with my first but only 33 minutes with the second.

So, does this mean, Marg, that you're a bit more honorable than either Mark or me? :tongue: Sounds like smugness to me, doesn't it you, Mark? [refer to Marsha Lynn's thread re smugness :smilies0262:]

Had a good time with the 'rents at Easter Dinner.

Only 6 posts this time and I managed 1 hour 7 minutes with the first and 6 hours 30 minutes with the second .

Got my income tax " mailed " . The box I remembered as white was navy with the Canadian flag on the side . I was so concerned my forms didn't go into a wrong box that I went out and went to see if I had turned too soon and there were more goverment buildings ahead . All I accomplished was wasting gas . I was right the first time and had a terrible time getting back again . No U turns and then no turns and finally when I got to the turn for the buildings again no left turn and the next intersection the same . Glad to have that over for another year . It really was white at one time but may have been changed last year but I still remembered the white one . ( short term memory loss perhaps ???) lol

Just 7 today . I got 17 minutes with my first but 9 hours and 35 minutes with the second .

Had several thunderstorms go through here and as soon as the last one passed- and it seemed like mere seconds after - got a call from the Liberal Federal candidate for my riding . Didn't pick up . The voting day is May 2nd .

[Susan Unger]

We have heat lightening to the north of us but no rain so far.

[Steven Burton]

Oh I would hate that. That is one of my favorite things about storms is the lightning and thunder.

[Gina Stevenson]

Here, along with a short while during which it was a tornado warning, there was some heavy rain. Tho't at one time I heard more than just rain, so looked out, and it appeared the hail was about half-inch size. Some folks were having inch-plus/nearly two-inch hail stones, we heard.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Quiet on the home front at the moment . Foggy but no more rain at the moment but more thunderstorms in the offing for today . Unlike Steven they don't thrill me . After the storm that fried my VCR I really don't like them at all.

[Susan Unger]

We had a little rain after all but nothing too exciting. Thank goodness. We've had enough rain for now.

A bit busier here today . 18 posts and Steven got a significant one - 4040 !
Got 1 hour and 7 minutes with my first and 6 hours and 51 minutes with the second .
When I got up today we had a severe thunderstorm watch and the tornado warning had ended . What tornado warning ? Happy I didn't know about that one .
We have been having lots of rain but only a distant thunderstorm so far this evening . I was writing the family when my dog , BB, got tangled around my feet . A few minutes later I heard the distant thunder .

[Susan Unger]

We had those, too, Marg. Head is killing me...homework is due but I am in too much pain.

[Glenda Harvey]

I'm stuck with the available icons. I don't know how to get new ones. :smilies1447:

At last check those thunderstorms for today have vanished . I am very pleased , and I know my dog would be , too,if she knew .

[Susan Unger]

The overall death toll is as many as 202 people in six states says CNN. It was a miserable day...

[Gina Stevenson]

And then after hearing re "over 200," they mentioned how many are still missing ... which usually includes more casualties. :(

Yup. My area, as far as I know, just has lots of flooding.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Just 6 posts today and I got 42 minutes with the first and 6 hours and 8 minutes with the second .

My meeting was cancelled tonight as there was no power . Winds were very strong today blowing the great tall pine trees about . Apparently there are more than 75 traffic lights that are either blown over and dangling, on 4 way flash or just not working at all. I am glad to stay home but I really needed to get gas tonight . By next Thursday I'll be riding on fumes . And now I have to start my car tomorrow just to drive my garbage down to the end of the drive . And this was to be Swiss Chalet night so not only do I have to find something for supper tonight but also tomorrow when I would have had leftovers from tonight.

[Susan Unger]

We had three tornadoes touch down in the metro area. A church friend saw one of them, too. We rarely get tornadoes so to have 3 or more in one day is even rarer.

[Steven Burton]

Did you go out side to see if you could see them?

[Gina Stevenson]

Did you go out side to see if you could see them?

Did that here. Sirens went off, TV said it was "warning" time. So, scouted the SW sky ... saw neighbors out, too. Thank goodness there was nothing to see! They were/It was several miles south of here. Wrote about it here (http://www.naznet.com/community/showthread.php?4658-Herdin-Turkeys&highlight=turkeys) earlier.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Well , the prelude to Will and Kate's wedding is well underway . Lots of people there and more watching .

[Susan Unger]

Did you go out side to see if you could see them?

Well, one of them ocurred too far south for me to have seen it. The first one was at 4:30 am and was asleep during it. But my dad was up then and said that the rain was something to behold. He was also amazed at how a river had suddenly developed in their backyard. The one my friend saw was at 9:30 AM and I had just woken up with a terrible migraine. At that point, decided bed was my best place to be. Didn't even dawn on me to look out my window.

He should have seen the small ponds that formed at SNU when it rained for awhile or after the sprinklers went off.

I had an experience like that on a cold rainy , dreary day .We ( an 18 year old South Korean who was here for heart surgery with Heal the Children Canada and was staying with my doctor and family went with me ) went to the Gatineau for fall leaf pictures and I didn't have a clue how they'd turn out but they were great . Colours were still there but some leaves had water on them. Never forgotten that day or those pictures .

Went to http://www.sight-sound.com/WebSiteSS/getshowdetails.do?eventCD=JOE to see the play Joseph. Was amazed at how well trained the camels were.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Would love to see that play but dare not do that much downloading . Ever since I 've been able to see you tube videos without a lot of buffering and stopping I've gone over my allowable internet download quota . So I have to be careful and pick and choose and keep any viewing to short bursts .

Weird. Well, it is not a trailer. Maybe just the internet being difficult as it has been known to do from time to time.

[Gina Stevenson]

That is very strange ... I mean, I read how many places before checking it again; it probably said "loading" on it for close to an hour, if not that long or longer.

Thanks Susan . You said see the play Joseph here and with sight / sound in link I thought it was a you tube version or something similar of the play not just about it . I did get the link just fine now .
Saw a bit of Noah, the musical from watching the Duggars when they were in it so if its at that level I am sure I'd enjoy Joseph . Glad you got to see and experience it .

More may surface as gone later . Police are investigating but pastor says he has a small clue on what may have happened .

Was going to say the same thing , Susan .( only that it was yoiu , not me !)

Wonder of wonders ,Canada now has a majority Conservative government . No more elections every couple years but a stable government for 4 to 5 years .( and a savings of $4 billion on each election ) Guess I didn't have enough faith . Last election I was so hopeful and it didn't happen so just figured it'd be the same this time ! My neightbour and I had supper together after we voted and she was thinking the same as I was . She'll be happy, too .

[Gina Stevenson]

Marg? 'Twas ME!

Oops! Sorry, Susan. Sometimes -- especially when it's late -- I've messed up like that, not paying enough attention ... tired. ;)

[better check the time before claiming I've an excuse, huh?]

Well, I checked. 10:46pm isn't too late ... unless one stayed up most of the night before, then didn't sleep enough, and the whole day was a mite rough. ;)

[also, last night took Ma's car in again due to her having ripped the mirror off on the carport again ... this time jamming the fender against the door enough that too must be tended to so that RH door can be opened (for her to get in, when we drive her where she can't drive).

[Marg Shurtliff]

Regal order? Pray tell what is that?

Regal Gifts Catalogue .Sorry only in Canada . Great items , some as seen on TV , many unique not available elsewhere .They started mostly with cards , stationary and wrap and have really branched out . I did a lot when we had a local store and had sales enough to get 50% off everything and sold it for 40% off . Customers were happy and bought lots . Now its mail order (or phone ) and you have shipping and handling as well .They used to just charge the taxes on what you actually paid but they do like Avon now and charge on the catalogue price . So that and my discount being only 30% now and taking off more taxes and shipping and paying for cataloges usually means only 17 to 20 % savings and now not many want to buy . They have changed the process with out of stocks as well which is a real headache . Used to be you could go ahead and order and pay and then they'd send when available . Now you have to call back after a certain date or dates and unless you have $ 125 order you pay a flat $ 5 shipping instead of 4% .Can make a real difference . I finally got an item I have been trying for for my nephew and his wife for Christmas since December ! Countdown to retirement devices. It was for next CXhristmas so thats OK but I tried 3 times to get them without being successsful . They are a digital countdown by days , hours ,etc to whenyou can retire ! ( They are in their late 30s ) They have some items more expensive but many items in the $10 to 20 range or even less . I love the things they have .
I could give you the on line site so you could look at a catalogue but we aren't supposed to sell outside Canada . I have taken and sent with a friend many items for gifts to family and friends .

A month ago I would have said Charlotte, but I haven't seen her on here lately. Where is she?

Um, I am not at liberty to say at the moment. (it will make homeland security upset). :tongue:

[Susan Unger]

Regal Gifts Catalogue .Sorry only in Canada . Great items , some as seen on TV , many unique not available elsewhere .They started mostly with cards , stationary and wrap and have really branched out . I did a lot when we had a local store and had sales enough to get 50% off everything and sold it for 40% off . Customers were happy and bought lots . Now its mail order (or phone ) and you have shipping and handling as well .They used to just charge the taxes on what you actually paid but they do like Avon now and charge on the catalogue price . So that and my discount being only 30% now and taking off more taxes and shipping and paying for cataloges usually means only 17 to 20 % savings and now not many want to buy .

Full agreement , Patrick .

Thanks Mark. I usually don't notice these things on my own. That's why I seldom snarf one.

[Sue Pyles]

Today is a beautiful day in Southern Ohio. I left for work in 35 degree weather and a little foggy. It's lunch time and about 60 degrees and for once in a very long time, it is not raining. Whoo- Hooo!

[Glenda Harvey]

It's warm in the mountains this week :smilies0822:

Full agreement , Patrick .

Had a bit of a migraine which gave me insomnia. Didn't fall asleep until 5 am.

[Marg Shurtliff]

11 posts today .Managed 10 minutes with the first and 3 hours 53 minutes with the second .

Susan , had some good news about Regal today in their weekly communication . As of May 3 I can prepay the out of stocks again . Pity the gal didn't tell me when I made my order May 4th.

[Susan Unger]

Maybe I'll get to bed earlier tonight. Gotta a car appt tomorrow.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Hope the appt is in the afternoon, Susan , or you are still up late !

[Glenda Harvey]

I could not sleep last night. I wish I could stay in bed. :smilies1098:

[Susan Unger]

Sorry to hear that Glenda.

Marg, I leave soon for the car appt!

[Marg Shurtliff]

Just 4 posts today . If this keeps up I can just taste the joy of being last poster ! Got 10 minutes with my first post and 5 hours 26 minutes with the second .

[Patrick Russell]

so continues this as usual.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Yes , and here's good night from me .

[Glenda Harvey]

Slept better last night, maybe because I knew I didn't have to be anywhere today.

[Susan Unger]

Working through some issues. Thank goodness for anti-anxiety medication or I'd never sleep at all.

[Steven Burton]

Working through some issues. Thank goodness for anti-anxiety medication or I'd never sleep at all.

I hear ya. With out mine I would be waking up ever other hour just to make sure I am alive.

[Susan Unger]

Now, I am working on next week's homework. Got the lecture printed off and the article looked up and printed off. Might even work on it today. Might....

[Steven Burton]

Well we now know who is not the procrastinator.

[Glenda Harvey]

:smilies0295:

[Susan Unger]

Well we now know who is not the procrastinator.

heh, heh, heh...I am a big time procrastinator. I haven't started the paper yet and it is due next week. or is it this week?

[Glenda Harvey]

:smilies1610:

[Susan Unger]

And so ends the first week of May...

[Marg Shurtliff]

Slept better last night, maybe because I knew I didn't have to be anywhere today.

I am like that , too. If I have to go out or if I know someone is coming I never sleep as well. Guess that's the way we're made .

11 posts today and I got 1 hour and 47 minutes with the first and 8 hours and 33 minutes with the second . That's over 10hours combined . Not too bad !!!

[Susan Unger]

I am like that on Saturday nights. Can't sleep at all, then have to get up early for church.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Hope everyone has a good Sunday .

[Susan Unger]

Hope everyone has a good Sunday .You, too, Marg.

Well, I didn't get my homework done, but did get some of it finished. Today starts District Assembly. I don't know who are speakers are cuz I haven't seen any information. The district website doesn't have it either. :( Sigh...annoying.

[Glenda Harvey]

Happy Mothers Day!!

[Marg Shurtliff]

Ditto what Glenda said to all you mothers out there .

Just 4 posts again . I realize I'm earlier today so others posted later will be added tomorrow .Got 1 hour ,5 minutes with the first and 4 hours 2 minutes with the second .

[Gina Stevenson]

Nothing special to post ... sleep well, y'all. ;)

[Patrick Russell]

early morning post, because someone should.

[Glenda Harvey]

Good Night :smilies1098:

[Gina Stevenson]

early morning post, because someone should.

Usually, someone does. For instance, it was a rare "g'night" post I made yesterday; usually it's more like an early morning one, such as yours. ;)

Charlotte & a couple others are good at this "early morning" stuff, too [night owls].

[Mark Metcalfe]

There. I have snagged the last post.

[Gina Stevenson]

There. I have snagged the last post.

Yeah, we know you have to be kidding, unless you -- a usually level-headed contributor -- have become delusional somewhere along the way, Mark. :smilies0262:

:smilies0275: But, why this odd # ... no palindrome, double, significant milepost [such as in the even 100s]? :smilies1722:

[Patrick Russell]

As a fellow night owl I'm just here to be a blessing.

[Steven Burton]

hooty...hoo

[Glenda Harvey]

Hi :smilies0295:

[Marg Shurtliff]

9 posts and surprisingly my one post got 5 hours 12 minutes being last . Mark's last post was cute . Only lasted 1 hour 29 minutes though . So sorry ,Mark.

[Gina Stevenson]

hooty...hoo

Tho't it was Charlotte that was the hooty-owl, not you. ;)

#########

Well, Marg, about an hour & 40 minutes you got this time. ;)

[Patrick Russell]

Might need to sleep soon.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Good idea , Patrick . Hope you had a good night .

[Sue Pyles]

It is finally sunny and bright in southern Ohio..................for awhile.

[Mark Metcalfe]

Are you saying I have a flat head? ;-)
Just popped in to snag the last post! :-)

[Patrick Russell]

6AM was a good time for bed.

[Marg Shurtliff]

Just 6 posts today . I managed an hour and 43 minutes with the first and 4 hours and 43 minutes with the second .

On another note the price of gas here went up 6 cents a litre ( 24 cents a gallon ) today and its expected to be another 2 cents higher a litre tomorrow . I'm afraid my shocking '( to me ) fill of $ 60 dollars last week is going to seem cheap next time I buy gas . Apparently the oil companies take per litre was 17 cents last summer and this year its over 30 cents. They will be making even more profit , as if what they are making already wasn't high enough .

[Susan Unger]

I've been away at district assembly and nmi convention. Had a good time.

[Patrick Russell]

I really need to stay awake although the bed looks extremely comfortable right now.

[Susan Unger]

I'm reading all about the similarities and differences of the Book of Jeremiah compared to the books of Deuteronomy, Kings and Chronicles.

[Steven Burton]

I didn't know bullfrogs could write ;).

[Marg Shurtliff]

Just 4 posts today and my one got 6 hours and 3 minutes .
Hope everyone has a good night .

[Patrick Russell]

I plan to. I might even sleep sooner rather than later.

[Gina Stevenson]

Just checkin' in ................. ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Patrick Russell]

Just checking out for the day.

[Susan Unger]

Just 4 posts today and my one got 6 hours and 3 minutes .

Kind of groggy from the migraine.

Hi everyone :smilies0295:

[John F Martin]

OK, I just couldn't resist this cute video. I know I have a warped and cynical sense of humor, but I laughed! THIS is the kind of shallow Christianity that would never keep me coming back!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMyTMTmJU6E

I've seen this on friends' fb pages today and tried to avoid them. But I watched it this time. Sure enough, the memories of some super shallow small group bible studies came to mind. One in particular fits this video real well - even down to the squirming when emotions are mentioned.

[Gina Stevenson]

However, it is enough to entice me to visit the website mentioned at the end of the video to see what other such items one might find there:

http://www.rightnow.org/

Well, we found it to be some serious training place, after all, for small group leaders ... tho' humor is definitely a part of it:


"500 funny video illustrations
to highlight your point"


There's a cart in the corner, so apparently one has to buy a training course to see these 500.

[Susan Unger]

Thanks for checking on that for us, Gina.

[Marg Shurtliff]

13 posts this time and my one got 1 hour and 1 minute .

Congratulations to Mark for snarfing 4200 . I knew it was coming but wasn't willing to make 6 posts to get there .

It constantly amazes me at the wide variety of topics this thread generates . Keeps it interesting for sure .

[Susan Unger]

Well, homework is done for the night. toodle oo all!

[Glenda Harvey]

Good Night :smilies1098:

Yes, definitely a wide array of topics. ;)

[Marg Shurtliff]

Two things I am very thankful for . One , I don't have studying to do like Susan and Tinker and two I don't get migraines . What I've heard they can be quite devastating . Believing that God only gives us what we can handle I guess I'd not be able to handle them ! Feel for you ,Susan .

I have migraines cuz I can't handle the pain of my life, mostly childhood wounds.

[Glenda Harvey]

Good Morning :smilies0295:

Good Morning :smilies0295:Good morning!

[Sue Pyles]

Enjoying a wonderful day at the Middle School. I haven't subbed here for awhile. I have been reminded why I retired. Aren't Middle School kids unique?

[Gina Stevenson]

Good morning to y'all, too ... hey, I'm up and it's still morning! ;)

I've never been superstitious about Friday the 13th. Of course the day isn't over in California yet.

[Gina Stevenson]

Another Friday 13th over and nothing bad happened ! lol

Well, found out one good thing today ... ;)

[Glenda Harvey]

Well, found out one good thing today ... ;)

What was that?

[Gina Stevenson]

What was that?

Well, I'll be taking some friends to the airport Sunday (didn't know who would do that, & just got a call about it this afternoon), & then using her car while they're gone. Cpl of days while they're gone 4 wks I'll be house-dog sitting while their regular one takes care of something.

Maybe -- if I don't learn tomorrow I'm "the winner" (http://www.naznet.com/community/showthread.php?4834-SOMEBODY-has-to-win-it-...) of a vehicle -- some of the rest of the time I can get a bit of vehicle-looking in and find one for me that's reliable to replace the albatross, tho' I've not gotten rid of it, or any $$$ out of it, yet (mechanic doesn't want it, after all). In general, will be able to get away from here w/o hearing about it just about every time.

[Susan Unger]

Gina, I thought the one good thing [and sure fire thing for you] would be that you had gotten in a palindrome snarf :) But since you didn't take it, I will!!!!!!

[Marg Shurtliff]

I've never been superstitious about Friday the 13th. Of course the day isn't over in California yet.

I'm not either . Just happened to notice the day and date when I had my devotions this morning .
Apparently the world is supposed to end on May 21st .Not sure who predicted it .

Congrats to Susan snarfing that post -4224 . I was aware it was coming up but wasn't keen enough to keep an eye on the thread .

[Gina Stevenson]

Gina, I thought the one good thing [and sure fire thing for you] would be that you had gotten in a palindrome snarf :) But since you didn't take it, I will!!!!!!

Well, CONGRATULATIONS! If I'd have noticed, I could have split my post in two and snarfed it myself. ;)

[Susan Unger]

Well, CONGRATULATIONS! If I'd have noticed, I could have split my post in two and snarfed it myself. ;)

That's what I thought you were doing with post 4221 which made me start looking for a snarf. Would have never realized it otherwise. So, thank you, Gina!

[Gina Stevenson]

Oh, yeah, I see. Looked like I was starting in one post & going to continue in the next one ... tho' I was just not bothering to write all the details when I did that, after all. TOO BAD I didn't notice it, huh? Oh, well ... there'll be other available SNARFS. ;)

Some Numbers Are Really Fine! = a SNARF at the fun forum. ;)

How about that ... that was easy to come up with.

[Steven Burton]

Hey Gina you got post 4+2+2=8.

[Gina Stevenson]

Oh, man! I keep missing noticing these things! Thanks, Steven. ;)

[Marg Shurtliff]

This thread was rather " exciting " today . All that snarfing !

11 posts today . Managed 58 minutes with my first and 2 hours and 44 minutes with the second .
Rainy day today here and more for the next week or so. Miss the sun already .

[Steven Burton]

I can feel your pain. I do like a nice rain but if it rains for to long I get tired of it.

[Gina Stevenson]

And then there were a cpl missed snarfs today, too, Marg! ;)

Remember ... SNARF =

S - ome
N - umbers
A - re
R - eally
F - ine!
:smilies0262:

[Susan Unger]

Too much rain here, too. Massive migraine. I am a blob.

[Marg Shurtliff]

A good Sunday to everyone .

Good Night Everyone :smilies1098:

A good Sunday to everyone .

And to you as well.

[Glenda Harvey]

Hello :smilies0295:

[Susan Unger]

Hello back at cha!

[Glenda Harvey]

Rain, fog and wind makes we want to crawl into bed and sleep :smilies1098:

[Susan Unger]

Homework does that to me, too

[Jim Chabot]

And at post number 4242, I hope that no one has forgotten that I will eventually win!

[Marg Shurtliff]

Congratulations to Jim for snarfing post #4242 .

Just 11 posts and not much time being last for me . 56 minutes the first time and 29 minutes the second .

[Susan Unger]

And so the homework and migraine continue... this is the week that I will focus on writing the paper on Zechariah 4.

[Jim Chabot]

Praying for your headaches Susan.

Sorry that you are no longer the winner of this thread.

Arrrrrrrgh! Foiled again!

[Gina Stevenson]

Hey, guys ... know it's our "fun" thread, but it gets a lot of hits ... and I need prayer.

Here, I finally have a reprieve from auto borrowing, and what happens? Hurt when I took them to the airport yesterday, and then -- out of water -- had to get some. Well, when I'm hurting 8.5-9# gallons might as well be 10#+. Finished me off, but I needed drinking water, due to this rotten plumbing. Ma thinks it's just fine [old galvy pipes that are near 60 yrs old, SEDIMENT clogging everything imaginable, most likely containing lead as old steel pipes do], but I can't stand to drink it.

So, long story short, having a hard time just getting around today. Did NOT move here b/c I was fine, but b/c of $$$ due to crushed back. Yet, I can't get a decent shower w/o going somewhere else (drizzles here), heft too-heavy water constantly, and deal w/screaming on top of that (her mental state). I need OUT of here ... but at least I need to be able to walk decently, and get out of here now & then. ALSO need some clean clothes ... but basement stairs are out of the question awhile now, so I'm wearing shorts in long-pant weather.

Really do need everything on one level. NEVER used to not have laundry up-to-date when living on one level. Thanks ... needed to vent, & need my back health back. Supposed to go a couple days this week to dog-sit/walk them, etc. Well ... they'll have to be short walks ... not doing well myself. Think STRESS affects weak part of one's body, & here it's the old crushed back.

Thank you. [DANG those housing people for losing me; not as if $$$ were the only problem HERE, like w/some people, but much more. Would *HAVE* a place, had they not lost me, but they live in denial, telling me I was never on their list, etc, etc, etc ... so, "newly on list again" last fall, that adds YEARS to the wait, after being lost.]

[Susan Unger]

Will be praying for you, Gina.

[Jim Chabot]

Praying for you here Gina.
