Thanks, kat, and goodonya, Spaw. Although I was sure that all the good vibes emanating from the Mudcat would prove successful, it's always worrisome when a friend's in a situation like this. annamill said it all - 'whew!'

WOWWWW! I FEEL GOOD! (da-na-da-na-da-na-da)

BLESSED ART THOU, MY GOD!
BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL!
AND ALL THAT IS WITHIN ME, BLESS HIS HOLY NAME!

I went strolling down the street one day, a song playing in my mind
Hopping and bopping like a ricochet, bad news was hard to find
There was a hint of syncopation coming from the sidewalk and the street
There was a rin-tin-tabulation hanging over everyone you'd meet
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL OKAYYYYYY!
LIKE A PIG WITH A BUCKET FULL OF TRUFFLES IN A FRENCH CAFE
LIKE A GENIE ON A TABLETOP, SURFING THROUGH THE MONTH OF MAY

Momma don't 'llow no Catspaw singin' 'round here.
Momma don't 'llow no Catspaw singin' 'round here.
I don't care what Momma don't 'llow,
Gonna sing about Catspaw any old how
Momma don't 'llow no Catspaw singin' 'round here.

Sorry; got carried away there.

Ahem.

Thanks for telling us the good news, Kat.

decoriously,
Alex

I just copied, pasted and reduced the first thread's postings, so that Connie can print them and take them up to him when he is ready to read some. I will do the same with this one as it fills up.

Thank to all of you! Alex, I couldn't said it better myself, I was feeling all of that!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mother, Father God/ess of my Heart.

I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet
I'm a mad dog fighting with the wall against my back
You better get a bigger gun I'm not dead yet

I've been machine-gunned, handgunned, hijacked, left for dead
Dive-bombed, napalmed, nuclear warheaded
Dropped from a jet plane with no parachute
Shot by a firing squad & raped by a business suit
I'm dancin' on a land mine baby one leg left
And I can still crawl and I'm not dead yet

I'm not dead yet, no no
I'm not dead yet
Well I'm a wild card hidin' in the middle of the deck
You better get a bigger gun 'cause I'm not dead yet

Thank you St. Jude for favours received. Not that I'm much of a Cat'lic... more of a Cat'spaw, fan, that is. But the Novenas didn't hurt. Just said another one for good measure. Think I'll keep my fingers crossed too... can't hurt. Thanks for the update, Kat.

Tell Spaw I'm sending a British Red Cros Parcel to Connie with a box of Yorkshire Tea.
Connie, Give him about 10 dozes a day and that will fix him for sure. It will also keep him running to the bathroom and so keep him out of yours and Karen's hair.
