Congrats, Matt, on your 1,000 posts milestone.
Lynne:
I don't know why I don't visit this thread more often. I'm remiss.
Belated congratulations, David! You're an inspiration, my Friend. :-*
And congratulations to Matt too, though like Kelda says..

I'm really sorry for the circumstances. I need to catch up on the details there too, but I'm just relieved that your family wasn't injured or worse. I don't have any understanding of a random, dare I say seemingly capricious, tragedy. :-\
And congratulations to everyone who keeps this place going strong with their commitment to posting and interacting with friends made here. I love me some BetterMost. Though the more time I spend on FB, the more often I look for a 'Like' button. ::)
:-* :-* :-* :-*

I forgot to add (because I lost my original post) that my sister goes back to work tomorrow, after being off on benefits since mid-March of last year. She would have to go back within a year, or she says she could lose her job.
She'll need some more surgery (since the last one didn't turn out so well, with the infection) but that can't happen until she's been back at work for a certain number of weeks...possibly not until September.
I wanted to spend as much time out there with her as I could, while she wasn't working. Not only going to the chemo appointments and other doctor's appointments with her, but we went out to eat quite often, and had time to talk and catch up on things.

It's good to see you back, Debbie - and thanks for the update. I'll go fix the Boston attendee list up soon - thanks for the PM nudge too. I'm glad to hear your Mom and sister are doing well and recovering, respectively. I really really *hate* that she has to go back to work so soon. It's pointless to rant here, but there's so much wrong with our health care system, it's hard to know where to start.
I'm glad you got to spend lots of quality time together. As I mentioned, my job ended in January, and although being home makes me a bit crazy, I am enjoying getting to spend some time with Mom. I've introduced her to Netflix and DVD reruns. ;) She wanted to know if I could get Kojak - evidently she had a crush back in the day. It's not so crazy when you consider how attractive I think Patrick Stewart is.
In any case, glad to have you back - get over your cold - and then you can tackle the mail and the cards and the rearranging.
Love,
Lynne

Congrats Matt on your 1000 posts!
Like others have said, I wish it were a happier subject matter that pushed you over the edge.

Glad to see you here, Lynne, and thanks. Oh, the cards are all opened, and thanks for them to all who sent one. :-*
Furniture rearranging can wait. ::)
Lynne, it's good that you, too, have had some time to spend with your mom lately.
