Dear Lola,

Thanks for answering so quickly. Welcome. We have several members that live

in Florida. The Florida State Representative in Florida is Gay.

Gosh, your story sounds very much like mine, except today, I am not on TPN or

IV pain meds. I still have no veins, money, or much of a life. But I do have

family, friends, and all of you.

Take care. I am off to a Thanksgiving Dinner. I made a ToFurkey! It isn't

bad. There are actually Tofu turkey legs and wish bones! I don't know what I

will be able to eat, but it should be fun.
