Mac, I want to change my choice from 14 to 10. It feels right. Is that allowed?
Mac, did not get to submit, still stuck in Trismustide-I vote for #9 please
I'll PM Taffy's human.
Does anyone know about Diane and Felix's travel plans? I don't know if we should wait for them.
Oh, and no problem about the vote change, Clary.

Glad I'm back for a bit to give an answer... Let's see...#...9 seems logical for this one to me!
A2K seems to be a really good place to talk family trauma out. If you start a thread, we will come. Sorry to hear about your dad.
Thank you so much Jespah & little k. Maybe I will start a thread just to update you all if you'd like. I'll let you know. Thanks again for the well wishes.
Last call for votes. I'll post results this evening.
FYI to all. I did start a thread about my dad- Thank you so much for all of your support. It means so much! Here's the link:
