I'm here. I just havent recovered at all from my sister's death. I've been taking a break from the computer and trying to focus on some issues that invlved her. I'll be back in a while. Thanks to those who have sent me messages. I'll answer those in a while too. Love you all!!
It all just takes time. Come back when you are ready. Lord knows I take long breaks.
And remember we are here for you if you need to talk. <3

You've suffered a huge loss, TFW. Thank you for checking in. I have misplaced your phone number. It's here somewhere but I can't locate it just now. You don't need phone calls right now anyway.
We have finally purchased all the furniture and carpet to replace what got damaged in the fire back in December. Now just waiting on delivery and installation dates. Finished filling the paperwork with insurance and should recover most of what we've spent. It's all been a bit of a nightmare and inconvenience, but we are still so grateful the damage was minimal and no one was hurt.
Again I want to say thank you for anyone, past and present, that have posted on here for all of us. This has been a great place to come and meet others that share common interest. We have become a family and it hurts to see it dieing like it is.
I will keep checking in as long as the thread stays open. There is always hope.
Hi, everyone. Sorry I’ve been MIA but I’m still somewhat in mourning for my sister and haven’t been online except to pay bills and do the online shopping I have to do.
It may seem strange that I’d be so sad about my sister’s dying. After all, she was 10 months younger than I and I’m 73, so it’s not as though we were spring chickens. There’s a 3rd sister who’s 9 years younger than I. 4-5 years ago she was diagnosed with a muscle-wasting disease -- it wont kill her but her muscles (especially the arms and legs) arent working well and she’s in a wheelchair already. If she tries to stand or, God forbid, walk even a few steps, she falls. In the past 5-6 months she’s fallen (while transferring from the wheelchair into a car, etc) and has broken both hands and one foot. Her disease has recently been discovered to be associated with amloids (misspelling is deliberate), the same cause of my deceased sister’s cancer/disease. And my mother’s dementia/Alzheimer’s was caused by amloids.
I’m not concerned about having a similar disease, really I’m not. I’m pretty much a fatalist. But this is a lot for me to absorb and I just haven’t wanted to be online much because, if I do get online, I start googling amloids to see if I can figure out why my mother and two sisters were all affected by them.
I love you guys and I will be back. I just don’t know exactly when.

Hi!!! I'm so glad you checked in. If you need to talk and don't want to get online email me. I'm here....
After spending the last 6 months working on repairing the damage from our small fire, hubby and I took our first river trip this year, and OMG!!!! It was awesome. Yes there were beverages and great food. Hubby and I really recharged and now it's back to my favorite life of doing nothing but sitting in my new room and bird watching.
Hope everyone is well. We are about to dry up here. Next weeks forecast is all 100 + temps. Back to the Frio I go!!!!
How's it going on your end? I am soooooo sick of these hot days here!!! I have one more trip to the Frio river planned then I'm doing the old Indian dance for cooler days and campfires!
Sick of the heat here as well. Last weekend though was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Not too hot, no humidity... BUT.. all good things come to an end I hope your dance will work up this way

We've been looking for new carpet and furniture. I think we've hit every store in town.
