Thank you so much, Jude, for letting us know that Virginia is well! We miss her, but understand that sometimes life takes people in a different direction. When you speak to her, give her our love and let her know she is missed.
Thanks again for the update!!!

Oh Jude this is SO good to read. I'm so happy to hear that Virginia is alive and kicking. I do wish she'd return to this community but everyone has to do what feels right for them.
Thank you so much for alerting us to Virginia's life standing. I wish you well and hope that soon you'll be able to return and write as well. You are both missed!!!
Blessings....kath

Hey everyone..... (Reply to this comment)
by artbyjude
I don't know why Mom isn't responding ; she just doesn't use her computer much for communication since she went to live with my brother. Last year she had a quadruple bypass, and this year she has had a few more health problems requiring attention: she had her other knee replaced, and a long recurring infection was the latest problem requiring surgery and a problem with fainting and henceforth falling, which she might have surgery to correct: It is a matter of opening the carotid arteries so she gets enough blood upstairs.
Sorry I can't tell you more; she doesn't talk to me much anymore and my brother doesn't talk to me at all.It kind of breaks my heart that she has left this community that always meant so much to her, and all the friends she has made there. This is her new e-mail address....gingy22@tds.com. Maybe you'll have more luck if you try to contact her directly.
I would like to say I'm sorry for this absence of info, but her life is very controlled in her new home, with people who don't always appreciate her talent for writing or her genuine warmth and compassion. This is her choice though, so let me assure you that she is alive and kicking, and pretty much her old self. She is not deteriorating mentally, I don't think, and women in her (our) family usually live well into their nineties. Her grandmother lived and was "with it" until she died in her sleep at 104 years of age.
Good luck trying to contact her. I can give you her cell phone number if you really want it, but you will have to get that from me personally...I won't put it out on the net.
I remember you all as well, and don't have any excuses for being gone other than I have had my own problems to deal with and I don't have a lot of time or inspiration to write anymore. In fact I can't even afford to rent movies to review, but it doesn't mean I have forgotten any of you.
Bless you all for the waves of caring and good vibes you send in her direction. I know it helps.
Love
Jude Paxton (her daughter)

Virginia,
WHERE R U? I fear the worst; I know you wouldn't just disappear. We are all hoping to hear from you again. I don't know if you'll get this, but if you didn't know, Lorace passed. Hope to hear from you again soon.

Virginia, WHERE ARE YOU?? We're all missing you and can't seem to get our email through to you.
So many persons have written me to see if I know where/how you are...and I don't. And I'm really worried and so are they.
Much love and concern,

What You Mean To Me... (Reply to this comment)
by the_gas_man
Hi Virginia,
We haven't spoken for awhile but I just want you to know I still love your views. I went away to spend my time on what seemed to be important things, issues and people, however, I still checked in, now and then, to read your thoughts and I always appreciated both your candid views and your comments to my reviews.
Your encouragement helped me go on and your encouragement helped people who wrote to me to say they had saved themselves from illness and possibly death. I've received hundreds, and possibly thousands, of emails over the years, from people who have removed ventless heaters, or refused to buy them or who questioned their spouses and relatives for having one. The war against them is being won, one house at a time and I think your support was partially crucial to my continued fight against them.
So whatever is happening in your life today, let me say, I feel a better person for having known you, even only through this website and I wish you and yours the best for 2007.
Good people are sometimes rare to find and even harder to keep close, it seems.
Regards,
Gasman

by mike.holmes
...you could write one hundred "rules" to live by. I've been missing your kind comments and reviews but I saw your note that you'll catch up. I was impressed with this list. Might try one myself although the joker in me would like to do one by my old falter ego, Jed P. Fuddplucker.

Hi Virginia,
What I`d pay for a pair of Keds. Actually not much, unless I mugged a Bolivian transvestite with shallow deep pockets. But if I were a rich man, I`d dump the fiddle, jump off the roof and go straight to EBay, then to ER to mend the sprained ankle I got jumping off the roof.
Keds. You have great taste, AND you`re less filling. Just a bit of "lite humor" there.
Your Arthur

by davidp24
...I disagree with #6. I would much rather have harsh words spoken to me than being slashed with a knife. Unkind words to me would roll off me like water off a duck's back. But being struck by a knife - as Borat would say "Not very nice!!"

Welcome Back, Wise Old Lady! (Reply to this comment)
by AinsleyJo
Your forty bits of wisdom are a total delight!
As for the difference between the prices on the shelves and up at the check-out, my mom (another great 1922 model) has noticed this, too--and she never hesitates to let them know! LOL
Blue icing is wonderful. It pretty much all tastes alike anyway. It's just white icing with a dye-job.
Maybe, you can sweet-talk 29th_Candidate into returning to the neighborhood...
Cheers!
AJ :-)

Fantastic to read your life lessons. Kristina must've loved it too. I agree that watching a sunset is a highlight to the day. Hope you know about the new features on the site, go to Member Center if you don't. You can subscribe to reviewers that way.

Re: So many important things to remember.... (Reply to this comment)
by Granniemose
Regina - Thank you very much. Your kindness is appreciated more than you can ever know. I am having trouble getting started again on Epi. I am a computer dummy, and am trying to learn how to navigate this new carrier- also I am no longer getting notifications and am trying to figure out a way to let them know it, and to put me back on. If it were not for people like you I would probably throw up my hands in dispair.

Doc - Now you know darn well that any nearly fifty individual is special with or without teeth. Especially when they are as special as you are, and have been through so many physical problems. Heck, we would still love you if you had vampire teeth and two little hard horns on your head - you would still be our funny, fun lovin', friendly Doc. The white things in your mouth (teeth) are not nearly as important as the funny, sympathetic, honest words that come out of your mouth, and you can take that to the bank

Derek, Philip and Katie are talking about driving up for Thanksgiving or at least for the Thanksgiving week end. Karen said that if she comes, she will definitely want to see you.

Re: Ginny -- (Reply to this comment)
by Granniemose
Hi Caro - Thanks, sweetie. Some my my school mates used to call me Ginny, and a boy I dated way back in the dark ages called me Ginny - and I loved it - but my Mom disapproved of nick names. My grandfather was about the only one who dared to over-rule her, and he called me Gingy. I thought it fitting to honor him by using his nick name as my Email name. Bytheway, I love you too.

Re: So right! (Reply to this comment)
by Granniemose
To Sue - Thank you - it is really great to be back. I am having trouble, though. I was just beginning to get pretty good at AOL, and now I am trying to learn a whole new method with a different carrier. Also, Epi doesn't send me a notification list any more - so I have to try to figure out a way to get them to do it. So I am really not back yet - not all the way. "I'm jist soo confused".
Thank you very much for the RRandC.

To Leigh Ann -
You are so right. Good listening seems to be rapidly becoming a lost art. And I am just as guilty of failing to listen as the next guy. I also fail to read all of the directions on a package, and then bemoan the fact that the recipe fails or the mechanical item doesn't work.
I did try a cut and paste, though, and for once it worked. I am so proud.

To Kathy -
Thank you, Kathy. You are always there to give a friendly boost. I know that your day care kids will say please, and thank you. I'll bet you have found several books that tell the importance of simple manners, if I know you. Which is only one of the many reasons I have for lovin' you.
