oops, apologies folks I replied to this post on the wrong list due to the fact that I am on that other list... sorry for the confusion, and yes this does not belong on the blind programming list, and if we don't have a moderator any more, then I will be more than willing to go back to the rough side of my tongue moderation I did when we didn't have an active moderator in the past, as long as you can forgive an occasional oops, I'm on 15 lists at this time, and once in a while I get one confused with another. laters, inthane proprietor, The Grab Bag, for blind computer users and programmers http://grabbag.alacorncomputer.com Owner: Alacorn Computer Enterprises "own the might and majesty of a Alacorn!" www.alacorncomputer.com Owner: Agemtree "merchants in fine facetted and cabochon gemstones" www.agemtree.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Haden Pike To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, July 10, 2009 6:39 PM Subject: Re: country music legend Mickey Gilley recovering from an injury I generally don't comment on these off topic posts, because this is the job of the moderators, but this is getting rediculess. You know what the list is for, so why do you keep posting off topic messages. There are many other lists you can post this stuff on. Please quit filling up our inboxes with off topic messages.

The 73-year-old has since been flown to Houston, Texas for further treatment but is not paralyzed, according to Fox News. "He is absolutely not paralyzed," his rep said. "He did have a fall and surgery on his back, there was some bruising, and he was flown to Texas for physical therapy, but his doctors are satisfied with his recovery. He will then be flown home in a jet. They just want to make sure it won't tire him out too much." Gilley's condition does remain serious, however. "When you have surgery on your back its not a mild thing, it is serious, but he'll have physical therapy because of stiffness and they expect him to be fine," added the rep. "His doctors are satisfied with his recovery everyday. He is 73 so it will take time and therapy to get back to jumping around the stage which is what he likes to do." Gilley was scheduled to perform in Branson, but the shows have been canceled pending his recovery. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
