Thank you, friend, for your very thoughtful "ping" (sentiments). I miss her so much I cannot begin to tell you.

FYI: Devaa created an account at Redgage and uploaded links to his Gather post, basically monetizing the stolen posts on another website. Funny enough, because the links were removed here, when you click on the redgage counterpart you get the Post Unavailable page, but Devaa still gets credit for the Page View.

I have notified Redgage of what happened here and they are looking into it. In the two days since I notified them and they began investigating, Devaa has changed his username to Del_Devaa. I wonder how many other places he is doing this at though.

Good morning, Nancy....

The beginning of a light at the end of the tunnel re: The healthcare problem in this country.

Spread this around: People NEED TO KNOW:

The Lies Revealed:Wendell Potter's June 24, 2009 testimony before Senate on healthcare, profits, Wall Street and YOU - how the American public has been taken for a cruel, sad ride in a nation of healthcare fit for animals, but not for humans.

Sounds like you didn't have enough. I can't drive or do anything when I don't have enough. Having my late afternoon cup now.

Been up since 5, mostly at this PUTER doing my monthly billing for ESL.

A few errands, then manuscript to bed!

ha was on Tracy's page...YOu thought we both had lost our minds...Then you found out it was you...

Well, newsflash..

I lost my mind years ago. Never got it back.

That's what keeps me sane.

Can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy.

Oh wait. I am always in fantasy.

A good place to be.
