200 posts?

2009-11-23T20:20:00Z

I received 200 messages at noon.
"WOW," I thought, "people are writing again."
Then I discovered that only 8 were new, and 192 were from August.
Somehow those 192 got dumped back into ASA. <G> And there may
be more later, since 200 is the max I can receive at one time.

Hey Gang,
A young mom from our church, took a nasty fall down a flight of stairs
at work this past weekend. She did some pretty bad damage to herself
and has had surgery to remover her spleen and is now in ICU while the
doctors continue to deal with other internal bleeding issues. She has

Thanks to a water pipe in the ceiling breaking in my rheumy's office, I

Evidently the pipe broke over the weekend and, of course, nobody was in
there. She said to call back in a couple of days and they would try to get
