Is that a sigh of relief that just washed over me from wherever you are? 😃 Great! I'm glad that makes you happy. I don't want to rain on your parade, but even though we're getting out of the pandemic status, people are still dying, and the virus continues to mutate. 🙄 I know - "Party-Pooper", right? Its latest variant is "Arcturus" and it causes pink eye. So if you get itchy eyes, you should probably take a Covid test. It probably came from India, and it's here with us, now, in at least 10 states Here are the latest Covid figures for the US, if anyone is interested. We live in Carroll County, Georgia and the latest figures per capita show less than 10 deaths from January 1st, 2023 through last Monday, April 17th, 2023. That doesn't even cause a "blip" on the Covid 'Radar" here, but folks are still "trickling in" to get their vaccinations and Dondra and I have our boosters and are up-to-date. So what will you do

your friend Jo in Deutschland
Well hope you come back. I enjoy your writing!
You know there are a lot of people out here, who care about you, D, and your wellbeing. Yet, some of us are also overwhelmed, fearful of our futures and struggling just to survive and keep our heads above water.
You've got a lot on your plate right now to sort out and take care of. If the blog is adding another time consuming burden, then give it a rest for now. But please at least let us know how you are getting along and keep us up to date.
I come here at least once a day if not a few times to check on you and see what new things you are enjoying and working on.
I've gotten a lot of pleasure from your path in life and the entertainmnet.
Please don't leave us hanging, wondering how you are. We love and care about you both.
I'm sorry if we haven't responded as you would like us to, but know that we are here and we hear you, love you, wish and hope for you, that we could do something more, but some of us are in the same boat.
Even I run out of creative tiny URL's to help cheer you and me up.
Come back when you feel up to it, we'll be watching.
Love you much, Becks
Thanks for the compliments and the love, they are appreciated much more than I can express with the written word.
Yes, I am having medication issues, which, in turn, cause the depression to be much worse, but right now (and I wish I could help this), I feel very much ALONE.
Please know also that this decision isn't based on hurt feelings. It's just that sometimes I feel the need to just SHUT THE HELL UP, because I'm not "saying" anything constructive or useful, and this is one of those times, chirrun.
My Becks, you already know how I feel about you and DEB (my friend Bill in Scotland), and Jo, I will always treasure the much too short a time you and I spent together in your beloved Frankfurt, Germany.
mrsnj, we have yet to meet, but you took the trouble to write, and that makes you a friend just as much as the other 32 followers.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm doing another ride for the animals in September, and my friend Bill is administering the site for me. The address is http://c2cr2c.giving.officelive.com. Please visit it if you feel like keeping up with what I'm doing, because this ride is going to be even more successful than the one I did in '08.

I love y'all and "Auf Wiedersehen" (which does NOT mean "good bye", BTW!)
Thanks
B~
Just back from a stay in Vancouver. I was away from a keyboard for 10 days!
Prior to that, I dropped by your blog every day. Though I didn't have much to say, I was always interested in your posts and your music choices, as well as Becks' whimsical urls.
Sorry you're stepping away from this but I hope you return after the ride.
As for the situation with your meds, it is appalling. I won't go on about this anymore, but you know what I think. I just hope Obama gets something decent passed.
Hugs to you and D,
M
I'm only just now feeling like answering my mails
Dear Margaret,
Because of the meds situation, I too have been lax in answering my e-mails.
It may take a while, but I ALWAYS answer.
Becks found me a clinic here in Carrollton that will see me on a sliding scale or for free! Isn't that great?
I may start the blog again in a few days. Just trying to get used to being off the meds.
Thanks for your notes and kind thoughts!
Bill
Take good care!
