Just in case all of you don't read the group e-mails, wanted to make sure you knew that the, Beat The Heat, contest deadline has been extended till Sept. 9th. For two reasons.
1. The long Labor Day Weekend that most spent with family...this will give you a chance to still get an entry in.
2. Also I have been undergoing treatment for Hep. C, and have to take an injection once a week. The last couple of weeks was a littler tougher, so I did not get much done. I'm feeling ad doing much better now, and I truly appreciate your calls and e-mails to check on me. I got this dreadful disease 40 years ago from a blood transfusion, but it did not start the major damage to my liver until 8 years ago. Which is when I found out I had it...that's why they refer to it as "The Silent Killer" There is an 80% chance that this 6 months to 1 year of treatments will cure me. That's were my betting money is going :-)...I'm gonna kick some butt. Just a few curve balls every once in awhile.
I also have my Austin get together post and slide show working and should have that out in the next couple of days.
We are up to 397 great members, so thanks so much for helping me spread the word for new members. I also totally appricate all of your great post. This group has turned out some very fine writing. In fact I'm a little surprised we have not been featured on the AR e-mail group. We are also one of the most active groups on AR.
Thanks for your understanding, Liz
By the way Tex, our groups Longhorn mascot said to be sure and tell everyone Hi, and that he and Mrs. Molly are still happily married and thanks to y'all for "hooking" them up :-)
