WELL DONE, EVERYONE!
Congratulations, CalGirl!

Congrads to all 🙂
Thank you Cal Girl. I certainly agree–Greta Thunberg’s main business is promoting Greta Thunberg. I for one became sick and tired of her quite a long time ago.
(I will apologize upfront for myself; I just spent two days in the hospital as I evidently suffered several small strokes. I notice that I am able to still speak well, but when writing, some of the stuff I am typing is rather garbled. It may well be that at some point I will have to give up participating in “adding my two cents worth” if it becomes so ridiculous for others to read that I am just embarrassing myself. It is my opinion that Betty Davis was correct when she said, “Getting old is not for sissies!”
God Bless each of the FOTM family. (For those who may not know, I formerly posted under the name “Auntie Lulu.”)
Dear Gracie/Auntie Lulu:
I’m so sorry about your recent health incidents. Not to worry: your comments are entirely lucid and typo-free. I will call you later today (I’m taking joan darc to the hospital for her echocardiogram).
It may be that you have my old cell number. The area code remains the same, but the rest of the number is 839-3378.
I’m praying for your complete healing Auntie Lulu. I always enjoy your posts!
Thank you so much for the prayers and well wishes. I have really loved the fellowship of FOTM and Body and Soul. It seems strange to say that I learned to love people that I had never met face to face, but many of those who posted were and are really choice individuals. May God Bless you in your endeavors.
Oh Gracie/Auntie…be well. I’ve enjoyed you so much through the years, your posts/wisdom. YOUR business right now is to take care of yourself. A year ago I was 4 days in intensive care, as I had a sudden ‘bout with congestive heart failure….for which Drs could find no reason other than “Vax or Virus.” (Both of which I had…I had Covid twice, AFTER having 2 Covid shots so I could continue my job…have not taken any since, dah!) I have been kind to myself over this last year & seem to have recovered strong & well. Just slower (!) Still working, too. This you must do for yourself. Best wishes for now & your future. Stay with us as best you can. (There was no “garbled typing 🙂 & even if it occurs sometime, who cares? We can figure it out. I’ve been doing so for years with a lifelong friend who sends me “hieroglyphic” emails since she retired and has had health problems :). No Problem when you value relationships, even if “only” online over the years.
I so much agree with you. We have had the exceptional oppportunity to share values and insights with some of the most choice people on this Earth via the platforms that Dr Eowyn and the other administrators have provided for us.It has been a significant blessing in my life as well. I pray for your continuing recovery and return to full health. This may sound rather odd but I look forward to being able to actually meet each of you who have made such an impression on me, no doubt once we all arrive at the destination in the Great Beyond.
Get well soon, Auntie Lulu. Will be praying for you.
Congratulations CalGirl!
And big thanks to our great caption writers, especially Captain America, and Brian Heinz!
