Ok gang; this will be my last post until hopefully just Monday; surely by then I'll be able to focus again!! I've been following orders and have started all the eye drops, the fasting starting tonight, etc. etc. Whoope! Bill Utterback is now officially in charge of the lists .. I'm not anticipating any problems with the list at all; everything pretty well goes smoothy here for which I'm very thankful! Bill is familiar with the lists and with rootsweb so will step in if there is a problem. Since he's a busy guy, trusting that everything keeps purring! Lastly, I want to thank all of you have written me on the list and privately. I might have time to acknowledge some msgs yet today; my daughter did arrive yesterday and will be taking over the household/animal chores for me and my other daughter will be coming in tomorrow morning. I'll be on my own after Friday afternoon so have some groceries to lay in that's easy to fix!!! Your kindness to me has been outstanding - I kinow this is a common-place surgery that happens to all of us who find ourselves aging - I was a mere "child" when I started these lists way back before rootsweb was in existence. Many of you have been with me since day one and your dedication means more to me that you'll ever know. To Tom - lawyer? Well, that wasn't in my mind when I was a young student in school ... I wanted to be either an archaeologist or astronomer. Computers in the home hadn't been invented yet! My career path has taken me from being a secretary, working in two police departments (which I loved!), being a teacher, becoming a principal, and being a programmer analyst for the federal government. But - since 1970, my love has been genealogy and with the advent of the home computer - it really took off. I still have the heart of a teacher and you make it so easy for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'll TRY to let my dau Kris send out a msg tomorrow afternoon sometime we get home to let you know that I'm still perking! I'll see you as soon as I can! I cherish you all! Sandi Sandi's Puzzlers: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gensoup/gorin/puz.html SCKY Links: http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/Gorin.html GGP: http://ggpublishing.tripod.com/
