OH MY GOD...........!!!! (Long)

HAPPY SURGERY BIRTHDAY MIKEY!!!!!! Aint life great? I did a job change too. Went from one newspaper to another. A competitor which didn't set well with my old paper. To say they were VERY surprised that I left woudl be an understatement. I was sales person of the year a couple of years ago and a pro-business paper person. Now I'm the same person at a different paper. I LOVE my new paper. There is less stress. A awesome territory! I feel like I'm making a difference again. And I'm selling AND best of all making better money. My bills are being paid in the same month they come in! Not an easy thing to do the way the economy is. I too have the gas nightmare. Scares me to think it might be 5 bucks a gallon this summer. But I will deal with that when it happens...

Thanks Pam; And congratulations on the new job and new love interest. Good luck with both and now that I'm on a day shift, I may finally get to meet you at a support group meeting??!!.......Maybe?? Mike

Alright you two, now I FINALLY have you both exactly where I want you! Let's commit to hooking up at Middlesex on Monday, 3/24. Let's do it, what do you say? Listen, I'm as nervous as you are about going, I hate that I've gained weight. But those groups are precisely there to HELP us; I haven't been in a while but there is some great new blood at the meetings, and Mike, many more men who have had the surgery! I might be scurrying over from Dr. A's office, but I'll be there by 6:30 - would so SO LOVE to see you both!!! Maureen

Hi Kiddo; I'm not going to promise, because things are in way too much flux at this stage. I can tell you, however, that it is in BOLD PRINT on my calendar and I'm going to make a strong effort to get there. I would love to see you again and finally meet Pam....it's been way too long! Mike

Mikie! I'm so glad to see you here again. You are always so wise and stable. I think of you every time I buy string cheese. I hope you take that to be the glowing testimony that it is. Hugs, Connie

Hi Connie; So nice to hear (see.......read......well, you know) your smiling voice! I shouldn't have stayed away so long......I really missed all of you more than I realized. Thank you for your glowing testimony although I feel I must caution you against using the words Mike and "stable" in the same sentence!!! I'm really glad that the string cheese as snack food has helped you. I find that the quick shot of protein frequently keeps me away from the "Dark Side" or at least lessens the destruction!! Cheers' Mike

Mike, I just figured out that Monday night support group meeting at Middlesex is a panel presentation, so should be a really good one. I need the support as much as you do! What do you say? I think Pam is going - we can all sit together! Maureen
