But I’m going to reiterate my injunction to take care of yourself. If your writing is a reflection of your personality, I have a great deal of difficulty believing you to be even ordinarily nasty. Which opinion seems to be reflected in all these comments.

Most people I work with swear I’m extraordinarily nasty, which is simply not true: I am ordinarily nasty.

Heh. I don’t believe you for a second.

Seriously though. All good thoughts to you. There are many things besides Western Medicine that could be effective. Hang in there. Some of us can’t go through the day without little doses of Dustbury.

Hello!
Just wanted to let you know, seriously,
how much I loved the picture of your
van with the suitcases in it. I spit out
my water and really laughed. I knew you
had a sense of humor!! I just knew it! And just look, now, see,
I think you probably might!! I mean, you do!!
Sort of. Anyway, it was perfect.
I’d go look at it again, but I read somewhere that
takes up unneccessary bandwith and I didn’t want
my IP thing to get, well, whatever happens to it when you
do that. Or I do that. Actually, I think that picture would
make a great picture for the beginning of a blog, whatever
you call that, the opening picture I guess. I mean that really
is a good idea. Don’t you think that would be a good idea?

<—thinks it would be a good idea

Mr. Hill. Good luck with the feet. I'd recommend lots of lotion.
Lots. I use Melon Pear (Melon Poire) Mistral Provence Creme
Mains. It's French. Don't know whether that would be a problem
for you or not.

P.S. I have never been called names in my For Love of Crochet group.

P.P.S. I have no idea what circling the drain means.

I enjoy your blog and would grieve if you chose to give it up (or if health concerns forced you to – though then I would grieve more for the loss of your health).

The internet is a funny thing. So much is made of how “isolating” it is, and yet, you find yourself coming to care about people you have never met in person.

(Could that be concern troll extraordinaire “Ellen Smith” aka “claretoothloose,” back under a new — or perhaps her real — handle?)

Live to be a healthy centinnarian (sp?), or die trying.

It’s sort of slow around here isn’t it?

I mean, there’s more zip in the doo da in
the crocheting groups. Is it always like this?

Hang in there, you have a lot of supporters out here in the internet hinterlands.
