LOL! I was visiting my sister's apt in W-Van., and crunch time was coming for
her to fly out from Montreal where they had some business to wrap up.
Sept.11'01 showed up, and that sealed it. They weren't going to fly NO WAY!

I thought that little incident might warm some hardened hearts there, but
NO!!!! One store owner we were friendly with said, "We live in such a beautiful
place, and the people have to be so ugly? I don't get it." I enjoyed my visit,
even if the sister wasn't going to show up, and we did meet some great people,
but some of the behaviour was a mystery to this farm-boy. /-:

You mentioned the technical term for your infliction, but would you mind
explaining it like I'm a four-year old? I gather it was a stroke that put you
in the chair.

I know that feeling. Under withdrawals, I was unable to hit the fridge for ten
days. Now that one medication requires me to take it with food, and the other
one makes me retain water... Sure I'm in shape! Round is a shape.

The neuroma does tend to *get in the way,* but I still drive, so I don't
complain... Too much. <-;

One used to run across so many people in fido, it was hard to keep track of
most of them. Today, that seems *much* more manageable. I don't think that is a
good, or a bad thing, just a thing.

I've so many socks and shorts, I could likely go for months without doing the
laundry. Heck, I HAVE gone for months without doing laundry!

Yup... Real soon now. Any day now. You want it gone when? [-;

Next year, I hope to re-attach to an ISP. I'm watching my pennies right now,
though. I had to borrow some money to sock some $ into an RRSP this year, to
try to keep Paul Martins' hands off my refund check. I've just that one debt to
clear up, and I should be set.

Give Greater Van. my best. Not that they'd know what to do with it... O-8

Do take care!
