I would certainly have posted to this thread three years ago and I wondered why I did not. I finally remembered that I was posting very little because I felt so bad and was about to go to the hospital for yet another one of those annoying visits. I remembered that because its been 3 years this month without a cigarette.

So belated as it may be.........Rita, I am one of the multitude who are glad these anniversaries keep passing. You are one of the true spirits of Mudcat and without you (and that lame SOB you're married to) this place would not be the same. Karen and I had such a great time meeting you two last year and it was a pleasure to find both you and Bill were even much more than I had imagined.

Bless you (as much as an agnostic can do that) and the heart donor and all those Docs who have kept you with us to share all you are.
