Thanks so much, Bobby.  I also developed fibromyalgia last year so I'm often in a world of pain myself.  That'd be the only reason why I couldn't make it to SC...sigh.  Well, everyone has a cross to bear, right?  xo

Dude, I may have called you some funky names but you know how to ROAR!  RAWR!!!  You and your Cancer mood swings, me and my Pisces mood swings: NICE COMBO!  Ha ha...are you kickin' out the jams at the next Bolin fest?  Of course you are.  I'd drag you there if you weren't!  I am considering a jaunt to Iowa if I am lucky.  Right now my sister Ann is in the hospital and we're waiting to see when she will be coming home.  She's been very ill and needed a stem cell transfusion but the prognosis looks VERY good.  Keep her (and me) in your prayers, okay?  Blessings, all luv and cheers...xo Christine
