Hi Two! I'm doing great. Just returned from a work trip to florida where i ran into a fellow db'er which reminded me how much this group has done for my life and happiness. I'm not around much anymore bc thanks to the wonderful ppl here i'm doing much better, great even. Anyway, L, if you find me here hello! I will look forward to seeing you next time i'm in FL!

So Two, you saw on the alt i had a death in the family this Christmas. I've spoken of my neice's (and her mom my sister's) many challenges, and though we all hoped some miracle would bring a change in her life, she passed away at age 32. In real life the family has been circumspect but ultimately it was a heroin overdose. If i could be more public about it i'd be on a rampage because that stuff is killing so many young people, and their families must suffer guilt, shame, fear of judgment, on top of their grief and sorrow. My kids know. I hope someone lives bc of this tragedy. I spend a lot of time on the phone with my sister these days.

I returned the guinea piglet frown . My s17 couldnt be in the house with it and my dogs were getting increasingly persistent in hunting it. He was so cute though.

Two hopefully you are doing well too. What's your status? I'll go look for your news. I hope all my DBuddies are having a good 2016.
