Ok, since it seems I'm never going to get my newsletter - David can you hold that first page up just a little bit, and Lainie, a little to the left.... ok... I think I might be able to make out a word or two.

Well, I can't read what you've both said, but you look mah-velous!

Lori -

didn't anyone tell you?  The forumite with the most hijacks in any given quarter doesn't get their newsletter.

Sorry about that.  Guess you'll just have to start behaving better  ;)  ;D

Jan

PS - maybe if you sweet talk Phyl, she'll ask the ANA to send you another one free of charge

Oh, no one told me!!  I guess I'll just have to start doing a better job of blaming you!   ;D  I think I can do that!

David,

Finally got and read my newsletter and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your piece--well said! 

Can't believe my support group made it too with picture of us all.  I enjoy these meetings as Neil does a great job making them informative and worthwhile.

Arushi,     I never even looked close at your support group till you mentioned it.   I know you are in Florida.        Very nice group and I will not say which one you are unless you point it out.   
Can't believe how long it has been since we were in Philly and met.
My excitement of the day was having my 3rd D&C for a history of post menopausal female problems the last 2 years.           My ob-gyn this time just asked when I wanted the hysterectomy.       Hopefully will make it till next year now so not 2 major surgeries in one year.             Probably shouldn't mention this here and sorry to the guys who read this.       This is  not cancer related also.     Just frustrating.                                      Cheryl R

Ok, I had no choice... I had to do it.  I beat up my mail man.  I guess this means I won't get a copy of my newsletter tomorrow either????

Alright, just kidding... I didn't really beat him up.  Yet.  But if he doesn't hand over the newsletter tomorrow, I will give him a really bad paper cut with a very stiff envelope.   >:(

Cheryl, hope you are doing okay.  You really need to find something else to do for excitement!  Try cleaning a closet or something!  Very exciting!   ;D

Lori my brother is a mailcarrier and always is on the look out for attack dogs.  You might want to try "ankle biting" as this usually gets my brother's attention!

Cheryl, very sorry you are dealing, yet again, with the medical community--SHEESH!  On the flip side though I'm sure am glad the "c" word wasn't present!  Hope you feel better after this procedure.  Hugs to you girlfriend you've been through much.

Ankle biting?  Perfect.  I can do that.  I just hope he doesn't throw a steak at me or spray me with pepper spray.  Too bad I don't have those onion goggles.  Sounds like they'd come in handy...

What, Lori  ???  Still no copy  ???

Tell you what, contact the ANA and mention my name - they'll send you a new one  ;)

Actually I'm sure they'd send you a new one even if you didn't mention my name - sometimes I just like to feel important  ;D

Jan, I tried calling them an mentioning your name.  They laughed and hung up on me.   :P

I guess I'll just have to write my own newsletter.

Thanks for the huge laugh!  I needed that - it's been a rough couple of days.  Glad to see being a year older hasn't killed your sense of humor - you're still as sharp as ever  :D

If you need help with that newsletter, let me know . . .

I'll have K help you  ;D
