Thank, Bill, for reposting my note about Lucy Gwin who needs people to help her and her ferrets stay in her home now. Sorry about just resending the same post sent several days ago. If anyone else wonders about what Bill let me get away with that simple resend: I had glaucoma surgery on my harder to control and more damaged eye on Tuesday so my time on-line is very limited right now. Hey, at least the 150 laser bursts were a wonderful Argon green and the surgery itself is not bad at all. Now I put in steroids that are normally avoided with this for a few days to reduce inflammation and then next month we see how well it worked and then figure out when to do my better eye. Hmmm, that will be my 3rd surgery in 5 months if it is deemed to be able to help me. Just one of those years; there have been much bigger things so far in '08 for our family and friends... What I can't deal with -- even with the monitor set low -- is much light right now (very uncomfrotable), and I still have blurriness. Thanks much, Julie, for letting all know that my surgery went well! You folks don't want to know how many short peices this was written in... LOL! Anyway, please, please, please: try to help Lucy Gwin. See my post from Thursday if you missed the details. She is handicapped and her ferrets allow her to avoid seizures by warning her in advance but her landlord -- who first let her sink a lot of her own money in making accessibility improvements is now kicking her out.

I need to be off-line mostly recently There is an option to allow the articles to be printed out without a lot of other stuff coming along. Love that! It is how I wound up readingt htem.
