Thank you for your concern, Batya. It's nice to be missed! It's true, I haven't been feeling too spry lately, but I still pop in from time to time as a lurker. I guess you could say I just haven't felt up to answering questions that I've answered umpteen times before!

i was thinking about her last night! i met up w/ an old friend from the gardenweb's Garden Party last night for dinner and she is a nurse thinking of going back for her B.S. made me wonder how melanie is doing????? i hope you are hanging in there! please check in if you have time ~ liz

Jamie, I'm sorry you had to go through that. You'll never stop missing your daughter, but really, it hasn't been that long. You will feel better with time. You've probably tired of hearing that, but it's true. I second the motion to get some good counseling. It helps. Also, is it possible those meds you were prescribed had something to do with your altered state? (((Jamie)))

Jodi! I hope you are wrong! The last time she & I were together for lunch-was up in Clearwater. She had helped me make photos of my classmates (badge-a minit) on her puter. At that time she was tired of alot of bickering that was going on at that time on the KT..she still was on the computer forum and that was about it. She did move-but I understand it was down the road somewhere from her house on the Bay. I think the last hurricane at that time-was one reason she decided to move. She had had a heart attack back in 2001 (I think it was)-she had quit smoking & was doing well with that. I know she & her seperated DH were spending time at each others homes on weekends prior to her move. He was over in Tampa at that time. Miss her terribly...she & I shared alot of the same interests & she was an all around good gal!! Lots of fun! Tiger is the one who I met on the hgtv message boards back in 1997 when I lived in PA..only to find that when I moved down here-she lived 5 miles from me! Can anyone confirm anything about Tiger? I have her real name-I will do a search on the St Pete Times Obits..LORDY..I can't think about this being true!!!
