my dear "cyber-dad" don i have taken the liberty of attempting to correct your dumb keyboard's spelling mistakes because i think it's important here [not that all your messages aren't important!] and i know you won't mind you wrote: >dr. meyer, i know dave engles here in lima, ohio. >you might try judith richards <[log in to unmask]> in canada. > >my computer is down, so right now i can't help you, >as i have a program to chase down what you want >all i can do now is use the pwp internet list > >i am goimg into hospital at 7:00 pm on monday. i am scared. >last time, i was supposed to be there for 3 to 4 days, >and ended up spending 5-1/2 months in the intensive care unit > >i lost my dad, mother, sister and an aunt to cancer. > >the use of my left leg is gone, my right leg feels the same >i've had pains in my groin and stomach >i've lost 5 pounds this week. > >they want fifty dollars per hour to work on my computer > >i do not know when i will get out, >but i will get home one way or another, with or without their okay > >i can't ask god for help >as there are too many pwp out there worse off than me > >i will say it's nice to know you all are out there > >so many pwp need help, and i want to give it to them, >even you, lololo > >take care > >[log in to unmask] >72/25 lima, ohio, usa >I.Y.Q. don & vivian-love of my life i sent the following to you awhile ago in a private message but i think i'd like to tell the whole list how i feel about you >>-------------------------------------------------------- >> you say you want so much to help parkies >> maybe the perception you have of how you already help >> needs a boost >> >> the writing that you do >> [regardless of how lousy your keyboard is at spelling] >> >> and the sharing that you bring to us all >> [regardless of the subject matter] >> >> and the purity and brightness of your spirit and soul >> [regardless of whether you are conscious of it] >> >> is such a huge help to all of us >> and sets such a noble example to all of us >> that your 'mere' existence here on the list is a blessing >> >> the deeds >> you do today >> may be the only sermon >> some people will hear today >> >> saint francis of assisi >>-------------------------------------------------------- in re your computer, if there is anyway i can help you with it after i move, say, using remote access software, you can bet i will do whatever i can in the meantime, i suggest you pay the 'experts' their fifty dollars per hour maybe they can fix your keyboard [rotfl!] in re your hospital visit, it's okay to be scared, but i think if you are going to spend time and energy anticipating disasters it might be useful to spend an equal amount of time and energy anticipating miracles! i actually feel a bit envious of the hospital staff who are going to have to put up with you! in re asking god for help i don't think you have to ask i've heard that "special assistants" get special consideration... i will be thinking of you both with much love cyb-sis janet janet [log in to unmask]
