We'll be thinking of you and praying for your mom and family.  I know it is a hard time for you.

Okay, Kaybo . . .

Do I sense you sucking up to the Administrator who used to be a Moderator?  Always has to be a good triplet  ::)

Seriously, though, I can't promise to be good and I'm pretty damn certain that Lori can't either, so you'll have to be good for both of us.

I'm with Mei Mei - and lots of others here - praying for your mom and your family. 

And we'll just have to make a pact that we'll be at the 2013 Symposium, come hell or high water (probably hell in my case and Lori's)  >:D

I'm going to miss seeing everyone this year; makes me want to cry  :'(  You'll all have to do something bad in honor of me and my partner in crime, Lori.

Take lots of pictures!!

I will, dear Jan and post them as soon as I get home.   I will in fact get a bottle of wine against all docs orders and raise a toast to you.

Hugs,

A toast to me, what a sweet idea, Mei Mei  :-* 

Barb - was just thinking about Seattle today.  Hope to get back there for a vacation in the very near future - if I can get ahead financially.  Actually I've been thinking about the possibility of relocating once my twins graduate from high school in a few years and Seattle is on my short list.  What a great place!

Phy is definitely the one to keep you guys in line; should be a little easier this year without Lori, Kay, me, and Capt. Deb  ;D

Have fun!

Well, folks, this is Phyl, your Roving Reporting, checking in from Cinci with your local ANA symposium update.  Good news is that personal speshal hugglez have been delivered to KathyM and our CHD/Clarice and to be honest, the 2 of them are totally amazing! More hugglez spread throughout the place.... forumite get together yesterday was nice/good to see everyone. Banquet tonight.... and for those of you not here, your good ears must be buzzing cuz we are missing you all more than you know... yeah, that means you, you mischief makers (J-K-L!)

Will check back in later!

I was wondering what that noise was...   ???

You know that while y'all are out living it up, it just is giving us time to plot for the NEXT Symposium!!   :o ::)

well, it's not your tinnitus going haywire..... it's all of us forumites here talking about all of you! :)  been VERY informative, lots to absorb, a LOT of newly-diagnosed (we have someone here that was diagnosed 4 days ago, heard about Cinci, got in the car and booked it up here from Houston!).  Dr's are really putting on a good show... and so are we!

Missing you all... stay outta trouble!  BTW ....no bail money required...yet!  >:D
