Guest guest Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 What good news for both of you! I am singing the Hallelulia Chorus even as I type. Ken, I am always so sad to welcome someone to our group and I must tell you how wonderful it feels to get to say goodbye. Your family must be ecstatic. And Caro- No Cancer! No Cancer! No Cancer! Okay now I am dancing as well as singing Hallelulias. May God continue to bless both of your lives. R.

While some are selling individual masksfor prices like $2.95, Sam's Club has a price of $10.77 for a package of20, making them just over fifty cents. Most I've seen have run less than$1 each.> > >> > > Hi everybody,> > > Just thought I'd mention this since it's all over the news andit is so frightening for everyone but especially for those like us withcompromised respiratory systems.> > > From what I've gathered what we know is that this is a newstrain of flu from which no one has immunity.
