I commented on the first one, I am sorry Emmett, I have been sick with a fever. I will hop over there now, but thats no excuse, I was on the computor over the week-end, but I struggled with blowing my nose and coughing, that is one reason why, I was on here, I was coughing and sneezing to bad to lay down.

I am not upset with anyone in particular, but thank you all of you for taking a look...

I am in a morose mood I think, becouse this week I was told that my sister has Breast Cancer.

I hope she makes a fast and speedy recovery Emmett, and I prayed for her as well. As you and I both know prayer works.

Emmet, this is a Mea Culpa. I am one of the people who has dropped off the commenting list, but I am still reading, and Generally rating the Articles. They are compelling, continued comments seem to be repetitious. I could leave a "Thanks," and probably will in the future.

I just don't get around to reading everything on the same day that is why I haven't gotten to your latest posting yet.

I would chalk it up to alerts still being messed up, school starting and things generally being super busy! I apologize for my absence and promise to keep a closer eye on your work! :-D

I would have commented had I seen them. Sorry I didn't. I'm working my way back thru some of them now. I hope N8 stays safe and warm and well during his tour. Send him our love, ok?
