Re: 3rd Try at Posting......

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the kind words. Actually, I think I get more from the board than I give to it. The board belongs to all of us and noone has any more right to it than anyone else. I'm 75 years old and a retired research scientist so I have time to look things up and I enjoy doing that. Also I've worked with people long enough to have some different insights into things (different does not necessarily mean better). I encourage you and your mom to post as often as you like and usually you will get at least one response. Good luck and God bless.

Subject: 3rd Try at Posting......

My mom (Sandy) has tried to post twice now, after a long leave of absence, why aren't her posts showing up?? She did get the daily digest yesterday, so her updated email addy was accepted.... I was surprised to see only four posts. Is this group not very active on a daily basis? Don't get me wrong, I'm not downing the group, I'm just trying to understand for my mom. I'm very much 'into' this RA for her, surfing for RA info has become my new favorite past time.... mom needs as much support as possible!!Speaking of which, Mr. Van Tuyl, I don't know if this is 'your' group, but I must say.... your posts/replies are sooooo informative, uplifting and encouraging.... you are a tremendous asset to this group!! You would be to ANY group like this, where people need info, advice, a *listening* ear, support & encouragement.... God gave you a wonderful gift and God bless you for using it! You sound like the kind of man who would let someone cry on your shoulder..... I'm amazed at how at ease I feel reading your posts, and I don't have RA!! *smile* Keep up the AWESOME work!!(((((*BIGHUGS*to*all*)))))april (Sandy's daughter):)

I don't know what happens sometimes but I got a bunch of messages today from this group that were dated as far back as July 9th.
