Advantages of belonging to this special list and wonderful people

[Guest guest]

Over the week-end a number of individuals, mostly from this list,

posted me about a variety of concerns. The often commented

that I seemed knowledgeable. My response was and is that it

may be true that I " seem knowledgeable, " but that even the best

data, anecdotal evidence, personal experience, links, web-sites

must be taken with a very large grain of salt--perhaps pickling salt.

Because I have been home cuddling up my I.V. containers lovingly

at the end of my forearm, and because I have temporarily lost my

physical voice, I have perhaps, synchronicisticly, received more

individual posts than at any time in my life on line. So, lacking a

" real " voice, I answered them as best I could, and in the process,

met some of the most amazing and wonderful people one could

ever hope to encounter.

Thank you, to those who posted fascinating conundrums, interesting

questions, ideas that led me to amazing web-sites. Even though I

could not go wild-life watching, birding, out to dinner with close friends,

it has been nonetheless a wonderful feast of the soul.

Thank you, all of you, for asking questions, wanting to learn, for helping

us all learn together. That is why I feel that this list is so very special.

To say nothing of witty.

Love to all of you,

n Rojas, who will still be " tied up " for another week!!!!
