She has not posted for over a week. I miss her incisive comments. Does anyone know her personally (as opposed to through private messages on this Board)? Is she in intensive depostions? Is she on an exotic cruise? Or, is she just over this Board (I hope not!)?

"Drizzle, drazzle, drozell, drone.....time for ziss one to come home!"  (A thousand non-existent karma points to the first soul who knows from whence the quote comes.) Off in nefarious places doing secret chants and charms - conjuring good vibes for candidates like Morgullord, Privateatty, Corrina, Nothingventured, Patriotsfan, ALJHunter, jerseymom, camedlaw and even zia234 (who wants "my" locations, darn it!  ) on this current cert. (Nice to know I was missed.....) |

I believe the quote is from the old Tennessee Tuxedo cartoon when the wizard character would bring Tennessee and Chumley back from whatever escapade they were on. Hey, I need all the karma I can get |

No wait,
Going to edit my last post.
Mr. Wizard was the name but Tennessee Tuxedo was not the cartoon he was on.
Those cartoons from that era all sort of looked and sounded the same to me.

It was Tooter Turtle who was sent on adventures and rescued by Mr. Wizard the Lizard. "Help Mr. Wizard."

[BTW, I was actually rather sick (hospitalized) but it's all over now. I thought some of you might enjoy a poem composed to thank my office for forebearing to come see me in the hospital and for the groceries they bought me.]
A Headache, a headache! But, how can this be?
Nothing so minor debilitates me!
This can’t change my plans, I have “Big Things to Do”;
Such simple things just don’t affect me like you.
So, conducting my business and plans to fruition
I’ll simply ignore this un-planned for condition…
Hmm, perhaps I’m mistaken, my head really hurts;
Now even my stomach, this thing’s getting worse.
My kind doesn’t get sick, we laugh at the germ.
What do you mean, “virus,” you medical worm?!
Get your hands off my spine, hey - what is that you’re doing?
A week in a hospital, no thanks, I’ll be shooing...
Oh.
I truly am ill? This just simply won’t do.
You just can’t be serious, merci beaucoup!
My people; my bright smile, my laughter, the bliss
Of my patience, my sweet disposition they’ll miss.
Lie still, on my back, for six hours, are you nuts?
O gawd, this is awful, this idleness cuts
To my core, I can’t stand it; I must get to work
There are ‘sponsibilities that I cannot shirk.
Day after day, they keep testing and thinking,
If this goes on much longer, I may take up drinking
I want to get out of here, that much is sure
These doctors are taking their time with a cure.
I must work! I must work! Or life has no meaning.
From office computer, I cannot be weaning.
My co-workers want to come visit, out here?
Forget it! Forget it! Forget it! That clear?
I’ll not have them see me, when in this condition;
We Gorgons have standards, and this is tradition.
‘tis best I recover, out here on my own,
if they disobey me, I’ll turn them to stone.
A ride home? Well yes, I could use that assistance.
On subway, I don’t know I could go the distance.
I might buy some food, though not much of a snacker
If you’ll drop me by Safeway, I might buy a cracker.
Why, what are you doing? You’ve butt me aside.
You’re buying my groceries, this I can’t abide!
‘Tis all from the office?! Now, I’m truly touched.
It’s hard to accept that you like me, so much.
I work very hard to keep distance from me;
You clearly see through that ruse, and thus I be
Sincerely grateful, for all of your caring
I deeply appreciate all of your sharing.
I rarely encounter a group such as this
Y’all make my life better, and I’d be remiss
Were I not to acknowledge the fact that you bring
A wonderful warmth to my heart, now stirring.
Thank you so much, for all that you’ve done;
I deeply appreciate you all, one by one.

There once was a giant among boarders named ‘hagg
Once challenged the boarders would show the white flag
She’d smack ‘em with logic so profound
Like little duckies in the tub they’d go ‘round and ‘round
Later she’d scoop ‘em up and put ‘em in her witches’ bag.

JH--glad you're back to posting, but I didn't see any mention in your poem regarding your final prognosis. I hope just a minor setback! Good to have such great co-workers. We can all use that kind of support from time to time.
