I will sign the hell out of an ita's law proposal.
I actually have two pieces of awesome migraine news. My husband discovered that alcohol was his major migraine trigger, and that if he cut out alcohol entirely, he stopped having migraines. And my son, as we all hoped beyond hoping for, did what some male adolescents do and mostly outgrew his migraines. He's just turned 21, and got an A in his first community college class after missing all of high school.
This is great! I'm so glad to hear things are going better for both.
Surgery~ma, Sean. I hope everything goes as well as possible and that your post-op pain can be kept to a minimum.
Its been so nice to see everyone coming by the board. I realized yesterday that at least half the friends I've made since 2002 have been because of the board or, indirectly, through others that I met here. My life is so much richer because of y'all.
Betsy - wonderful news about your husband and son. Just magnificent.
I only wish the same for you.
Betsy - that is so wonderful! I am so happy to hear it.
I'm skimming a bit. ~ma and love to all (though I did get to see Betsy's news - dear, I am so happy to read that).
I'm now officially exhausted. And I really still can't believe that ita's gone. I fucking hate the thought that she's not in the world anymore. This is so wrong.
I am reading Allyson's book when I can't handle with all that's online, and it's so wonderful. I brought it to work with me, to explain people what this community is. What it means. Thank you for the book, Allyson.
And I love you all, and I'll finish my cup of tea and go to bed soonish (10:35 PM here).
Don't you ever go away.
I'm still working to catch up in ita's thread, but has anyone contacted katefate? I saw that she checked in the delurking thread in 2013 and has a profile addy. I'm just clueless what to say and wanted to defer to others who have been contacting (reaching out to) past buffistas.
Work today sucks beyond the telling of it. No concentration whatsoever.
Betsy, that is wonderful news! I'm glad they were able to get relief.
Sean, much ~ma for you as you go through the process. I'm just happy it's going to mean an improved quality of life for you.
It is nice to see so many of us back together on the board. And like everyone else has said, the reason for it sucks mightily.
Betsy, I'm also glad to hear the good news about your hubby and son. May some similar relief be coming down the pike for you sooner rather than later.
And I really still can't believe that ita's gone.
Yeah, I've swung back around to disbelief today.
who have been contacting (reaching out to)
Oh, you'd better believe I see what you did there, missy.
Suzi, I emailed her maybe five minutes before you posted. It hasn't bounced back, so, fingers crossed. I've also pinged Kathy A (whatever the reasons for her choice to separate from the board, it's part of her history and she's part of ours; I can't imagine she wouldn't even want to know).
Suzi, I've e-mailed katefate.
