Thanks to everyone for their kind words. Very busy lately but I'll be able to catch up on mail in a few days. Merry Christmas everyone!!

My situation has changed dramatically recently. I was diagnosed with lymphoma on August 13, 2009 and on Aug. 28th I found out I was at least "stage 3". It's the slow moving kind of lymphoma which means I will probably live several more years. I'm not depressed about it I'm just going to keep trying to be a happy person. It does, however, mean that I'm not really thinking about a relationship at this time. It wouldn't be fair to anybody so I'm just here for friends now. This has been an easy way to stay in contact with some people that I've already made friends with and to share pictures. Thanks to everyone for their support.
