Hi John,

I'm back after quite a long absence.  Hope you remember who I am.  Cannot explain here the reason for my instant departure, except to say it was out of my hands.

Have thought about you often and honestly hope you're still with us.  Can you update me on you, Cindy and your extended family of fur babies?

Thanks so much, if you are able.

Regards,

Rebecca

Hi to you Rebecca. Of course I remember you, by your name, and I think your nic/handle was "sfnative", but that I am not 100%, if that is exact. Yes, I am still "with us", and still the same ole same ole. Ain't changed much except my age when it comes down to it.

Put up a couple of thread "call outs" asking if anyone knew what happened to you, while hoping you might see it if you were just taking a break from here for awhile. I even thought you might have changed you nic for some reason, but I am pretty familiar with how and what you write. I think I might have recognized a post of you had done so under another nic.

Never seen any that might have got my attention. It really left me wondering because I never saw anything in your posts that would make me think you might be leaving these forums.

I am really happy to see you back here, even if this is just to say hello, and ask about Cindy our furry ones and myself. It is always a good feeling hearing that a cyber friend thinks about my family even when they have so many other things happening in their own life.

Cindy any the furry ones are doing pretty good, no emergencies have come up for a longer than usual time frame. Some things we consider minor, in the whole scheme of life, but nothing real serious.

I really hope you and yours are ok, and whatever your reason for not being around this forum, is better. My plan is to stick around these forums and do what I have always done, and I hope to see you here when the time is right for you.

Take good care my friend,

JOhn

          @SFBayNative, Pardon my intrusion, too, but I've missed you so much, and happened to see this thread just now.   I hope whatever caused your absence has been resolved and that all is well with you and yours.    Many of us asked about you on various threads...  you've been in hearts, thoughts, and prayers all along.❤️    Take good care of yourself.

Hi John,

Well, it's taken me more days to get back to you than I anticipated, or maybe not.  As on many previous occasions, was able to log in just that one time, then the door shut.  After contacting all the right folks to no avail, decided to create a new email address 30 minutes ago, so here I am and glad to be back.  I really have missed all of you.

I'm especially pleased to know that you, John, Cindy and your family are doing well!  This is like a chocolate ganache cake to my ears.  Such good news - you've made my week I dare say.  Now, if I could just have your luck with cataract surgery (that I was supposed to have nearly 2 years ago...).  Got hung up on a ruptured vitreous sack, which yanked on the back of my eye near the optic nerve causing an internal bleed, then the sack, in pulling its weight away from the right front of the eys tore the retina in that area.  My ophthalmologist "wants" this to heal on its own and not do surgery because of the location of the tear.  However, it's not getting any better: still have those torn retina flashes.  And, just to make life more interesting, my Internist, who I really loved - great clinician - simply told her staff she was leaving and not returning on 24 Feb!!!  So, in effect she abandoned all of her patients.  My last week has been one huge attempt to find another Internist with a decent education and excellent ratings.  Since we haven't lived in Portland very long, I just don't know that many docs.  If I still lived in San Francisco or San Diego, I would have had a doc on 27 Feb.  Enough venting.  Again, I'm glad to be back and extremely glad to know that things have been going well for you.  I'll be around and we wil be talking for sure.  Kindest regards, my Friend - Rebecca

Hi LOLA!!!

Thank you soooooo much for bumping up my query.  After I placed it, the system would not let me back in.  (Have had such email and password issues here, I just cannot begin to tell you, so actually had to create a new email address this afternoon and finally got back in.)

I want you to know that I've been gone perhaps 2 years and also missed each and every one of your posts within other subjects and will look forward to getting back to them.

Take care and God Bless - Rebecca

HI LOVES!!!

No intrusion - ever!

Must be quick at this point, as we must depart to pick up our granddaughter.  Much to tell, which I'll get around to later or tomorrow.  Hope you're doing OK.  Am going to try to post recent photo to my granddaughter.  She's resting on a batch of lottery tickets in our favorite Deli - Ira's Deli - where we go every Friday afternoon for ice cream, or grilled cheese sandwiches or whatever, with several of her friends and their moms and dads.  Great time every Friday.

Feline - HUGS!

Have to go get my granddaughter, so need to get back to you.  Just NEED to know you're OK.  When I had to leave the Boards, you were about to become homeless.  PLEASE tell me how you are.  OK? 

Love - Becc
