Hi Melissa
I just skim read the FML for the first time in days and want to thank you
for your kind words.  It was not just what was written by Scott and Alicia
on the FML as you probably know.  It was the unkind words that I was
informed Alicia and friends were writing off the FML.
 
The wonderful news is that I used to send messages of condolence
frequently.It could take hours each week.  I spent a great deal of time
checking out the resources people shared with me on MF, since no one wanted
to touch the subject on the FML.  I spent quite a while looking up the
dangers of pine for small animals prior to that.
 
I was also spending several hundred a year on shelters on the FML.  This
year was well over $500.  That is half a thousand dollars.
 
It was just a fluke I skimmed your message tonight.  But it was very
consoling.  I was never given that asbestos underwear.
 
I have no plans to read the FML this week, next week, or the week after
that.  The time I have been saving has been put to good use.  No longer
donating to shelters on the FML will allow me more money to donate to some
of my other concerns.
 
Funny how life IS change.  And here is another one in my life.  I have no
desire to read the FML anymore.  I am old enough to realize that maybe I
will wish to read it a month from now, or half a year from now.  I don't
need to limit myself to any set time.
 
Anyway, I really appreciate your kindness.  Have a healthy holiday and
many happy New years.
 
Lisette
