UPS tracking says headphones, earbuds, and splitter were delivered today to front desk.
Maybe some of us could chip in for a gift subscription to Netflix?

The Eagles have landed.:-)

I just spoke with Art. He has the notebook,Dan, and all of the stuff you sent, too, BK. Thrilled, amazed and he says people keep sending him stuff. He sounded so pleased.

Dan, Chris has your contact info and may call. Apparently something isn't compatible with what's available, but he is going to remedy that. Art was vague because he doesn't understand it, but he is so grateful and really excited about getting back on. He was being taken for a shower when I called.

That's it for now. You are all wonderful people!

I'm in for contributing to a Netflix subscription. Who should I send my $$ to?

I'm really looking forward to seeing Art's entries on Mudcat again. The sooner the better.

My apologies for not posting this sooner. I was going through a rough patch and just didn't see any email for awhile. This is from Chris from around the 20th:

Hey Kat,

This is amazing. Can't thank you and all the Mudcatters enough. Been busy as hell, and will get on there to send thanks personally. I'm skilled enough to get him set up, and I work at a school, so I'm going to pick the brains in the Special Ed and Tech department for ideas on how to make this friendly.

There is an item that I really want to get for my folks as both of them are having a harder time with this. Dad is getting to the point where he almost can't answer and sometimes can't hold the phone. If there's anyone out there with a bead on a voice activated conference/speaker phone, please let me know. They are not cheap so I don't want to take up a collection. Just hoping someone might know where to get them at a discount or know where there might be a spare.

Sorry to ask. You all have done so much.
Thanks, Chris

I know they were over there last Friday as Art was so pleased to have all five grandkids there.

Soon, folks, soon.

Here;s what i forgot:

"ALSO......I just read that ART THIEME is having some infection problems again. He's in the hospital and his son says they are working at getting this one cleared early so he doesn't have a repeat of the last time. So let's send out some Rainbow Mojo towards Art and Carol out in Illinois." Spaw
