No laughing necessary.  I'm just so glad that you are so knowledgable on so
many subjects - medical and otherwise.

And I'm sure this is exactly what I've been talking about.  And yes, I've
had more than 20 in the last 2 weeks, let alone 3 months.  Right now,

You've got them - any time and all the time.  I'm so grateful to you for
allowing us to be in each other's lives through Tri-Wings.  We really do
touch each others' lives and for that I'm very grateful.
