Steve:
It's a good that you went in and checked up on him. Appendicitis can
progress to peritonitis and lead to septicemia which don't always have
good outcomes.
I'm glad everything worked out well.
Thomas is "6" SIX years old? Jeeze, it seems like just a short while
ago you were single.
BPB:
Yeah, the thread went from discussing the pros & cons of various
vises, to some bickering, to "well wishes for the misses" as someone
prosaically put it in E-mail, to medical procedures. Thread drift
doncha know. :)
Thank you very much Sam. They've moved her to a regular hospital room
and are discussing discharge options to a convalescent home to get her
strength back.
Phew, I'm relieved that she made it through the worst of it. She
should be fine now.
I was deeply touched by all the people in here (and in E-mail), that
wished Fran well. There are some real caring people under all those
hard chromed & black anodized exteriors. Thanks guys.
I think it's like 7-8% of the population has had their appendix out.
Mine's still in there.
Barn:
Laser eyes? I think that's an artifact of my inexperience with
cameras. There's a "Red Eye" setting, but I just wanted to get a
picture before he jumped out of the bookcase.
Actually, I've taken your advise, and moved some of the remaining
books to the same shelf as the MSC catalog. Hey, hows that for a pun -
MSC CAT-alog. :)
Barn:
That damned cat (Fran's cat I might add), now he's figured out how to
get to the next shelf up, where the other books were. He's directly in
line to pierce my ear as I go by. :(
I'm gonna have to find a cardboard box to put in that shelf, or turn
the whole bookcase around facing the wall.
LOL......see......I told ya he wasn't done with ya yet. Ya better get
a football helmet and start wearin it around the house. I think
"Fran's Cat" is up to no good and is just bidin his time waitin to
pull a full scale attack on ya. :)

Bob you have mt best wishes as well. I haven't been keeping up with the
group lately and missed all of this buried as it was.
Dan:
Thanks Dan.
Well, it wasn't my original intention to elicit sympathy. I was just
answering Tom Brewer's question what was up with my out of character
responses.
But I am truly moved by all the positive responses here and in E-mail.
I've even received responses in E-mail from people that haven't
posted to amc in probably years. Quite the humbling experience.

You might underestimate the connection made by quite a disparate group
of people.
We all see each other interact here, not all at the same time, but
over the years we get to know each other.
We know who the good guys are, we know who the socipaths are, the
smart ones, the curious ones.
I don't question you have the support of very nearly everyone here.
Keep that in mind when things get to you.
HN:
Not to get too mushy sentimental, but my parents are long gone, same
with all my aunts and uncles. Fran & I never had kids, and my only
sibling died years ago. I've got a nephew somewhere but we don't talk
much. So I equate the regulars of this group as sort of an extended
family.
I always understood Bob.
Your advantage, however, might be a source of genuine distress for others.
Had you considered that?
Hang in old dude
I think the force is with you and yours on this one.

Thank you Bottle Bob.
I've been absent for a while because Time Warner quit News Groups. So
Here I am in Google.
It may be time to update the information in the Quad-I Vise. www.quad-i.c=

Maybe I should start a new thread so I don't Hijack this one.

John:
Funny you should mention that, just yesterday the wife of a good
friend complained about not reaching me in a couple of tries on the phone.
Perhaps it's time to rethink my stance on this. Just how much does a
cell & basic monthly charges cost? I now pay $21-$22 total per month.
Thanks, I hope so.
AT&T's cheapest plan in our area is $39.95/mo.
You ought to be able to do better than that. I can add you to my plan for
$9.95 if you can't.
Look around a little and let me know.
You will still have to keep a land line for DSL if you have that. OTOH, if
you have cable it wouldn't matter.
Trust me on this one.
