My dear, you NEVER let me down. Never even came close! We can only be responsible for ourselves ultimately. Although I feel bad for what you went/are going through, I know there is nothing I can offer but moral and spiritual support. You have certainly given me and us at LEAST that constantly.
Don't forget...we all know each other because of you! We support each other, learn from and teach each other, needle each other, because of you. You are the Ken Granderson of Yahoo. You and I know what that means. And heck yes...it's a BIG compliment, one well-earned. But see...you're still with us as much as you can be. And somebody else isn't. Somehow you live life, go through changes,and still keep up with us...mom! LOLLOL! Love you, Tracey! Please tell your husband he's a blessed man...like he doesn't know!

Believe it our not, I got active again on the list to get me through this. I hope that I can save somebody grief as well. I won't let anybody come to Mexico without at least knowing my protocol for preventing it. Actually, how you found out was I read that you were having severe ear infections and one of my symptoms was ear severe infections. I had been able to get rid of them on my own, so I told you what I did. Keith is upset because you, he and I met about the same time and up until I left for Mexico, once a month we would have a scifi, politicsphone marathons and then I just disappeared. I was wrong. I meant to tell him. it was easier to tell you because i had an excuse with your ear infection. It has been a long time. I've known the two of you since 1995 can you believe that? Now to you and your dramatic life, I knew a little bit, but not much. I feel like I let you down, now. I'm glad you learned to lean on others. I'm learning that again too. With all of us, I think this is the problem with the Internet and that a lot of us have a solitary side. You're emailing people and can get to know them, come to care about it, yet there is so much that you do not know. I'm on this group called Girlfriends. I'm somewhat active. It used to have almost 200 member. Now it is down to 45 and they seem happy with that. They tell everything-- and I mean everything, they have gatherings, road times and secret santas. If someone has not posted in a while one of the moderators will post a shout out. I do not think that is our way, but it is something to think about. I'm glad you are doing better and that you are back on the list. Tracey Reece Jennings wrote: > > Just like you just did. We all care greatly for you. This is serious > stuff.
