Good to see you back here, my friend! I hope you're feeling better. Whistle therapy has gotten me through a few bad times over the last year and a half. It is SO good for stress relief, even when you're healthy. Oh ya.... I can relate to that! Just to zone out on it. It is better than a Calgon bubb...

Hi Susan!

Not only did I have to go to the hospital but my computer did as well.

Needed a new hard drive installed.

I have been having troubles getting into chat. I have irc downloaded, however I forgot what to do next to get into chiffy.... All I can remember is binky.

Got a clue?
