posting because of what Tony said. I was only going to come back and check to see what comments were made about Tony's posting last night. Then I read Charlie's note and I thought maybe that is what it's about. There are serious sides to this board and there has to be. Information that is needed and as a lifeline when you are in so much pain. I understand that. But I think too, because I support Deb E. however I can, sometimes the joking around gives everyone a chance to take a deep breath and smile - maybe even laugh. Deb E. seems to do much better when we have joked for an hour. I also use this board for selfish reasons. Deb E. hasn't been here this week and I miss her. Keeping in touch with the board helps me stay in contact with her somehow. Charlie and Den, I love the word games - you all can form sentences that would make Mr. Daniel Webster turn blue in the face. Sorry this is longer than usual. I do try to keep my notes short so the "sorting" doesn't take so long. Take care.
