[Felvtalk] Surgery

Hello Everyone...
Thank you so much for your concerns about " my " surgery but it is an
unfortunate result of the structure of the mailings that this mistake
was made.... I am not having heart surgery : ) Believe it is our
member whose email is dlegg ( wish people would put their actual names
on their postings) I forget in between time whose name is associated
with which address..... Seems when I've made and inquiry about
activity on the group it engenders a rash of new mailings and confusion
reins : ) Glad, however, to see activity and that we are all still
here.... I always learn something new when folks post their thoughts
and practices on the group.... I am humbled by so many of you and your
commitment to your Kitties... without people such as you the world would
be a much more bleak place for the unwanted animals of the world..... I
get caught up in " if only's " even at my age and I think so often " if
only" everyone would take in just 1 animal how much of an improvement
that would make to the lives of animals everywhere..... It is such a
shame that not everyone feels toward animals as we do... they can't
experience the joy and wonder that an animal brings to ones life or the
simple pleasure of having a cat sit on your chest purring while you
watch TV ( all 14 lbs of Gilbert and his drool( I _ could_ do without
the drool!!)... somehow calm me when I am laying on the couch just
relaxing..... and Bless you Sheila for your kindness and caring. If
you know anyone who could help you to become your own non-profit that
could, potentially, reduce some of the burden of expense... I KNOW you
are beyond busy already but just wanted to mention it if you had not
though about it already... It's not a walk in the park to put in place
but has some distinct advantages...
