Melissa, I STILL think you and I must be related to each other in some way. I do the very same thing.... ALL THE TIME. lol :)
I'm just happy to hear our Euro-Brokie friends are safe and sound. Let's just hope there won't be any more hurricanes in Europe this year.. or any other year for that matter.

I've been offline lately for health reasons, but nothing to do with the storm. I am in Brittany, which is not totally north, and we always seem to be safe from really bad weather (on the other hand, we keep getting oil on our shores!!). Some say that the weather is going to get worse and worse worldwide, but the ancient Celtic world (of which Brittany is a part, like Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Galicia in northern Spain!)is safe and will be the only one to survive... and then King Arthur will come back and it will be the start of the reign of Keltia :P :-\ :laugh: :laugh:
So anyway, thanks for the good thoughts, and I'll be around more I hope :)

I heard about that oil spill, Isabelle. They said oil, chemicals, even some perfume spilled out of the boat and into the water. God. What a mess! :P
We miss you around here Isabelle! You said you have been sick. I hope it's nothing serious. :'(
Keep us posted, okay?

Hi David!
You are always your sweet self, aren't you? Actually, what I have is not much fun: it's an auto(self?)-immune disease/syndrome called GravesBasedow's syndrome. It is a thyroid disfunction, and as I started reading about it I found out that it is typically people who tend to be perfectionists who develop it, and also who take on too much work/stress. So besides the medication that I'll have to take for another 3 years, I'm gonna have to learn to say no, think of myself first when it is not seriously harmful to others, and take time to myself - like go away for a week all by myself. So if I hadn't come close to a heart attack with this condition, I'd say it is a blessing of sorts: methinks I am now going to allow myself more pampering and time from now on! Which I'm afraid I'd never've done if I hadn't gotten sick! So there - and the worst is behind me I think.
If anyone has had this, or knows about it, could you PM me and tell me what they went through? I'm still not sure what to expect exactly (my doctors haven't said much). I'd be grateful for some firsthand experience with this disease.
But I'm still around, and coming back to hang around here!
