Thank you. *takes bow*

The funny thing is that this was less than ten minutes of reading to figure this all out. I picked up the book and told myself I would read it for 10 or 15 minutes, then pick up the book I need to read for the book club I am hosting at the end of the month, and read that for 10 or 15.

As I said, I was planning on updating my thread today, but I thought this information was more important. Dr. Clavel etc., was going to be my next project after my update.

Sadly, I have been asked by a family member to write up an invitation to a family get together for what may be the last time we ever see her. She has multiple brain tumors and has been pronounced "terminal". Of course, I sent her links to places I think might help, but I don't know if that is possible at this point. I refuse to "succumb to [her] "reality"" and plan on fighting with everything I can muster and encourage her to do so as well. I offered to help her research alternatives and cures (thank God she is open to such things), but what she has asked of me is this. Of course, there is no way I can refuse. I am honored she asked me to do this for her, but I will say it is one of those things that NO writer ever hopes to be asked to do.

I will be focusing on that, and once it is done, I will come back to update. I am alive and well, even if I *did* have to break out the mag citrate tonight. LOL!

I will update as soon as I can.

(Oh, and, on a side note: all the extra time spent in the can today trying to get the stupid mag citrate to work yielded some other "WTF?" moments from the "book", which I will share at some point too. I'm sure they will be reminiscent of a certain C+C Music Factory song. I'm sure you know the one...)
