@squinney,
Well, first of all, some of us love you. You are one of the best people plus writers ever on here. Not to salivate at you, that would be tacky.
On how we are, there is some good stuff - Joe Nation is living well with love (as I see it). Some have eked out ways of getting along in tough circumstances (Rockhead). We have had some swell new members, FoundSoul is one. I snip at her, but much appreciate. I think IzzythePush is new to you. All sorts of people can't stand him, I like him. Sturgis is back semihemidemi healthy and feisty.
Bear is doing better.
I'm in a lot of trouble, but that's my way.
