Yes I guess it makes sense to clean up a bit after the fact...

But I must admit that I kind of like to read & post the real thing when it happens. Helps keep it real here and makes it feel more like a family - people get angry, overly worried, non-sensical, over the top (even when it's not a late-night post)...and then we work through it and get back to normal. Still, no need to keep it out there forever, I see your point.

Lena I'm glad to see you're maintaining a steady state during your break from tsm
that you haven't slipped is great comfort for the meantime .
Once the op's done you'll be bound for the best .

Yes Lena, I'm encouraged that your drinking off Nal didn't go over the top. I think you're using very good judgement regarding the pain meds/surgery thing - and am glad you're not getting too discouraged over it.

I do understand SR and Marbella needing to take a break. This is a busy and time-consuming MB, and on days when I have deadlines or other pressing issues, I don't dare check on here for fear of getting too far behind. It's hard not to respond to some of the posts. . .esp. those from newbies, with all the concerns and questions. But it's nice there are so many regulars who make it a point to extend the extra TLC when/where it's needed. I don't think there were as many on the MB far enough along to do that so well early on, when we lost those two.

Nope, don't feel abandoned. . .but do miss their posts.
