I too would like to know what has happened to what, to me, seemed almost like family. Our dogs hold us together and it is so wonderful. No where else in regular space or in cyberspace, do we have what really really seemed like family in each and every way. I loved the birthday announcements and was a bit sad one of my special ones was missed 1/4/14 I was 80, once in a lifetime number. I have a goal to be 100. Though we are supposed to be just for our splendid shows, it is a treasure to have it all and I do not think any other group has it all no matter what the original subject matter should be. ENJOY while you can, I try. I really thought Da List would have had more on our splendid 100th National than it did. Oh, just thought, ALL of us are getting old, so I guess it is OK to slow down a bit on just about everything. Have a good one and don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Didn't Paula used to do birthdays? When did that change? We get hardly any email from this list. My apologies, I thought that was permissible since it has been done in the past when the list volume was much greater.... and I haven't posted in MONTHS.
