Hi folks, here I am in bed getting ready for yet another trip to the bathroom to do a technicolor chunda, I hate this, I have not had anything to drink or even my meds today. Also have a spectacular chesty cold. If I don't settle by tonight I will have to go to the doctor....which is pretty expensive. What a crappy day!

Sandy, thank you for, the virtual hug, and for the gentle kick in the butt, sometimes I know whe all need one to get us to attempt to move on. “We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.”
Sandy again thank you,

Sandy, and everyone else, I thank you for your support and compliments, I wish the verses quoted were mine but I actually seek them out and pick the ones that suit the moment. Sandy, your virtual hugs are extremely gratifying, every body needs at least a hug a day. Actually in the movie Bad Boys my favourite word to calm someone down was " Woosa". I actually walked up to a group of young ones, stressed out, and told them to settle, then I did the action and said "woosa" and they all simultaneously started to laugh. My good deed for the day was done.
In your terminology, virtual "hug and love" to everyone. This forum has made my life more bearable and for that I thank you from thebottom of my tired old heart.
loopy.

Uggbootdiva, and everybody else, must be a time for reflection and/or inward looking. I hate to be the one to break the silence but I , honestly, miss the banter. But if you all feel a bit jaded, as I do and have for over a week, it is no wonder the forum has gone quiet. I hope that everyone is "safe" and healthy albeit under the horrible effects of MI.
