Best wishes to everyone on all their "stuff" this next week.

Somebody stole your hat?  That's just evil.  Rotten people.  Perhaps you might pursue getting a PO Box, which might be more secure.  Who knows what they might take next time.   ???

OMG so much fuss over 1 adjective.
ADJ Rumbustious, noisy. lacking in restraint or discipline "a boisterous crowd" A social gathering that became rambustious and out of hand.
Thanks as usual David for great update. Did you have someone in mind with rambustious?

David -

Thanks as always for the great update.  I will join in by saying how truly miserable it was of whomever stole your" Steve Original"  I'm sorry this happened to you.

Good luck to Helene, Alicia, Carolyn and Melissa.  Melissa -- I truly hope the sinus surgery gets all the gunk out and your infection will finally be cured.  I also hope the trip to the TOG is an easy one that brings good news.  Ernie -- good luck with your two month check-up.  I'm sure you'll get good news.  Your recovery, so far, has been amazing!

Actually, it's spelled rambunctious and pronounced ram-ˈbunk-shəs .  Check Webster's.  Whatever, I think we all get the idea that the 'AN World' is unruly.  I will admit that we're all a bit rambunctious at times, myself included. 

That having been established, let's thank David again for his yeoman's work in alerting us to important events in the lives of our members.  For the most part, I'm proud of the class shown by the vast majority of the folks who visit and post on these forums.  I trust that will remain the case for the foreseeable future.  :) 

Jim
4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Ok, first of all, I'm sure it was the spelling typo that confused some of us, causing the fuss.   :D

And second, while I'm really mad about someone stealing your hat, David, I have to ask myself...who the heck would steal a Steelers hat?   :D  I'm sure once the thief sees the colors, he or she will put it back in your mailbox! ;D  (Just teasing you, don't go getting rambunctious on me!).
