Hello everyone, I know a lot of people have been waiting to hear from me, and I apoligize that I have not gotten back to many of you before now. However, for over 3 months now my health has been very poor, and I have had numerous doctors appointments, tests, including ultrasounds, CAT SCANs and MRI. I still have more to go, they come up with conflicting reports, and so have been running me through the mill. I have only been doing what I have to do, or was able to do. Those of you who I am suppose to be sending information to, some I have sent parts. Could you send me another message, telling me where I left off, or if you did not get any thing at all. I have some mail still in my box that I have not been able to get to in months. I can think of better things to do during the holidays then spend time in labs and doctors offices. But I guess I have no other choice. I have just been keeping an eye on the lists, just to make sure everything seems to be going ok. We now have our lists archived on Roots Web, I will get you the address as soon as I can locate it again, so much mail has been going through listowners I can hardly keep up with it. I need to let you know now, that any message sent to the list will be archived. Now, while my lists are sent up to reply to the individual, some times it slips, and sends it back to the list. So when you are replying to a message, that you want to make sure is private and not archived, please look carefully to the reply to, and that it is not going to the list. Why it switches every now and then I don't know. I have been doing a little better the last few days and trying to get some things cleared up. Everytime I look at my "read incoming mail" I almost want to faint for all the mail, from all the lists that I belong to (some very very active), and I just keep them to read when I can. My mail at home is not doing much better, it is piled up too. So give me some time, and I promise I will get it all caught up. A reminder, if you are going to be gone for the holidays please unsubscribe to the list and subscribe when you return. Unlike Maiser, Rootsweb does not have an "No mail". After so many bounces Rootweb automatically unsubscribes you.
