I guess SAG is back? Did I miss the part where she explained why she deleted all of her posts a few threads ago?

I wonder why you thought it was necessary to say that.

It's anybody's guess.

I guess she missed the part where you politely inquired about it.

Or maybe the board has adopted draconian and authoritarian self-reporting expectations...? Bizarre terms of compliance to post...?

Anyway, hope everyone's making the best of what's left of 2012! <3

Considering my personal situation, this may be a good read for me. I will be downloading it to my Kindle in the next day or so.

Thanks for sharing this.

Actually, I have exceeded expectations for every day since November 14, 1998 and certainly plan to do so for the foreseeable future, but thanks for the well-wishes.

Dear Secret agent girl,

the book arrived yesterday and I'm about half through it. Thank you so much for your recommendation - it is really quite excellent. My sister is also reading it and she has multiple sclerosis, lymphedema, one leg, bed sores that won't heal and is pretty much paralyzed from the waist down with a permanent surgical catheter and colostomy.
