Kind of OT

Hi all. I've been away from the group for several reasons. First it's been a terrible winter for me for health reasons. My asthma has played havoc with me and as a result I've done a minimum of sewing since January. Taking high doses of prednisone gives me very shaky hands and I find it difficult to work. I know I posted some in January and February but came March my computer died. Just gave up the ghost one day. That brings reason 2. I didn't get a new computer until late March. For some reason I've been unable to download Thunderbird and wasn't quite sure how to get back to alt.sewing. Yesterday my son put in outlook express but still no usenet. Just can't figure it out yet. I'm using google groups rightnow. I know some of you block google.

I will get myself on through some news group as soon as I can and become regular reader and poster again. Juno

So good to see this post. I haven't seen any of your posts for a long, long time.

Barbara in SC, but in FL during the fall & winter

Juno, it's good to know you are on the mend. If you want instructions on how to set up the eternal-september news using Outlook Express, e-mail me, I can provide the steps.

Beverly, finally after almost four weeks, getting my own health back to what passes these days for normal. Ugh

Thanks Barbara, It's good to feel well enough to post and to have a compute r to do it on.

Oh dear, Beverly, I've been wondering where you had disappeared to. I had no idea it was so bad, that cough thing. A pretty dear price to pay for a few days of Merry Old England, I'd say.

Hope your health improves,

U.

Hello Juno,

was that you, the Juno Cassidy Beyer who wanted to be friends with me on Facebook? I thought it was you... And are we still friends, or did I reject your request? I don't find you among my friends, so either you/that person unfriended me or I didn't say 'Friends'. Anyway, I bet Beverly will help you sort out your problems and you'll be back on the usenet in no time. ;-)

Thanks. Ursula, I am much much better!. The cough/bronchitis/pneumonia finally yielded to antibiotics, although I am loath to use them. However, I was not getting better, so older DD insisted I go to the doctor.

I even mowed the lawns a couple of days ago! ;-)

Hi Ursula, I did send you a request to be friends, With my mind going in so many directions lately, I might havedone something dumb like unfriend you,so lets try again if that's alright with you.
