Hi Kris and others, I do not read FML because I barely have time to do so. I wish! Someone just notified me today that you and others has been trying to get some infomration from me. I'm so sorry for being a terrible responder. When it comes to ferrets, I'm such an idiot about any kind of ferret knowledge, no idea that there are so much informations about ferrets. I'm learning very quickly with everyone's help. I got dumped with so many ferrets, 65 ferrets to be exact, because someone thought that I knew a lot about ferrets when in actual, I knew someone who OWNS a ferret. Somehow the information through the grapevine got to this person and one thing led to another to the position that I am in right now. I have human children, a husband and some critters back home in another state that is trying to be patient with me. I haven't seen my family for over a month now and it's been very hard on me. My workplace is difficult as I try to deal with all of the workloads over my pagers and other methods that I borrow from others I've been told to let Animal Control in my home area handle those ferrets, but I called. They said they will put all of them to sleep which I cannot do. I have no regrets for my part in this just so you know. I'm trying to make time now. I intentionally kept some of my personal informaton out of everything because I need to protect my family from all of this since we do not really know much about the lab situations. About the FFA or FAA, yes, someone from the organization was wonderful to send me an email about whether I need help. I keep forgetting about that part. I apologize profusely about that. I'm sorry if I have been a hard headed person. Again, I'm so new in this kind of terriority. If it isn't for a few ferret people that helps me, I'd be finished and knee deep in trouble! The people that came forward to help with the transports and all of their hard works, I will never forget them. I cannot imagine if there isn't such a thing as FML because everyone has such kind heart and patience when it comes to someoone like me flubby and arms flapping as I try to learn quickly about those ferrets and people. How things work, too! I never knew there is such thing as FFA/FAA (sp?) The most thing that amazes me is everyone's patience and understanding. I do not know if I will ever find anyone at this level anywhere the same way you all did for me. I know I've said those things quite few times, but it's hard to find a place like you all these days. I've dealt with enough people to last me for lifetime especially in my profession. Please send me or re-send me emails directly with questions and I promise I will try to make time to answer all of them this time! Once the last few remaining ferrets get transported to KS and AZ, I will be going back home. I will let you all before I leave. When you send, resend me emails, please try not to use abbreviations such as ADV (I learned a lot about that one! Impressed with Judy Gronwold's efforts!) I'm learning as fast as I can about all the short letters words. ADV, Adrenals or AG, all that. Again, sorry. Thanks, FML for posting once again Marcy [Posted in FML issue 4062]
