Interesting! I hadn't until now, but you're right, we were both about the same age at the onset, and we both responded well to medication.

I had the same! I wonder if Facebook did one of their blanket setting changes and Diane needs to flip a switch back?
NOPE! My TESTING post was declined and is now "PENDING".
FB now says: "To help keep this group safe, admins review some posts before they're visible to others. You'll be notified when your post is published in the group."

Apparently, I can make a post on TT, but can't comment on my own post. Can someone else see if they can comment on my TESTING post over there?

Really glad to hear from you, CC. I've been worried about y'all, too. I wish your dad were rallying better emotionally--for him and all of you. I imagine he wouldn't respond well to a suggestion that he take an antidepressant of any kind.
Like Liz, I'm glad you're getting out for some sunshine and hiking.
Regarding TT connectivity, I seem to be shut out of posting there, too. Something's gone haywire. I've tried 3-4 times just now to post over there and got strange messages including these:
1) an admin or moderator has to approve some messages in this group
2) "Send the following on WhatsApp. This site is trying to open another application. Allow/Disallow"
I've NEVER seen anything like this on any FB group I've ever joined.
Diane O, can you confirm that you're still the admin/moderator for TT?

Great idea to get out for a hike in those beautiful surroundings and clear your mind!

I think it's safe to believe that anything "personal" anyone wants to mention here will be received with love and support. If nothing else, it's context for everyone's appreciation for what's going on with us--individually or together. After all, what one person mactions they're going through (that no one else has mentioned before) can invite others who might like to talk about the same issue(s) they're experiencing or that a loved one is experiencing.

I've never been to a Galentine's party, but boy would I love to do so! Maybe I'll gen one up this week around here. :)

I'm with you all on the "chunky is much better" standard for guacamole. I abhor the grocery store guacamole for that reason.
