Airport  ???

Does this mean you're returning home and to the forum, Phyl?

Not that you ever really left  ;)  But is the moderator's hiatus over?

Did you hear that Lori and I are both getting 2-headed dogs?

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Hey, K, why don't you just come right out and call me stupid?  ONLY KIDDING  ;D

Actually I thought Phyl was going to Atlanta a long time ago.  Where has she been lately?  Just taking a moderator's break?

Okay, maybe by all rights you should call me stupid.  Somewhere along the line of this thread I got confused.  Do you think it's because we generally get off topic?  ;D

Jan~
I would NEVER call you "stupid" because 1) that is a BAD word in our house and 2)I certainly don't think you are stupid!!   :-*

K -

although I am feeling kind of stupid since I can't seem to follow this thread, I was only pulling your chain when I "accused" you of calling me stupid.

Kisses right back at ya  :-*

Yeah Jan,

You should see me when I'm working.  All of the old Italian men love me.  One actually asked if I had an older sister who wasn't married.  What can I say when you got it, you got it 8) ::)

Seriously, Bruce and Windsong came to my rescue last year when I first stumbled across this extraordinary forum.  They both kept me sane and Windsong hooked me up with a truly fantastic caring Dr. 

We are really ALL very special.

Sending everyone Huggles,

Was GREAT to meet Phyl, Bruce and the bloke...could have talked with you guys all afternoon, Phyl.  Hope we can get together again sometime when you're back down this way!  Hope the bloke didn't get too much of a culture shock down here...

Thanks for taking time from your family to meet w/ us Atlanta AN'ers,

Cindy
