| "...something happens to their telephone bill"---that creased me! We never hear from someone again because of their telephone bill! Ryan, god help me, I've always liked you and found you so damned amusing--even when tub girl was your only answer!! Truly, thanks for a much needed laugh today. My daughter's favourite cavy (guinea pig) she's had nearly 4 years died suddenly this afternoon--last week our 25 yr old horse succumbed to congestive heart failure, 10 minutes before we returned home from the fair. It's been a tough week, especially hearing of Karl. But you're right, life gets in the way and people disappear between the pixels... I'll try the paste technique...Karl wasn't active here much about the time you were--you'd have liked his passion. I know what you mean about feeling helpless. Plus you don't always know if people on the web are truthful when confessing problems. Then when you feel that they are, you feel responsible relaying advice. All you can do is give the best you've got and let it go. This thread has made me very nostalgic about the Rockman I first encountered back in 1999... Thanks again for taking the time to let me know about this tragic event. It meant alot. Cheers,bud! Leesa > > I've "met" several people through the internet who I've > since haven't heard from.
