Hi PJ, Nola & everyone else

[Guest guest]

First of all, let me say Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to

everyone. Nola thanks lots for the card & PJ thanks for your note

when you got my card. I figured I should drop in & update you all on

what's going on in my life, and other than the occasional doctor's

appointment, nothing major or exciting is happening. I just had my

yearly appointment with the kidney transplant unit & everything

looked great, the dosage on one of my meds was decreased, the doctor

changed the frequency of my bloodwork from every month to every other

month & now I don't have to go for that appointment again for another

year. But there are other doctors.

Even though I don't post in here liked I used to, I do try to keep up

with the messages because out of all the groups I belong to at Yahoo,

this one is the only active one left & I wanted to let you all know

I'm still around Yahoo some. My own group is for all intents &

purposes dead because I keep losing members & no one posts in there

like they used, so I just quit trying to keep it going but I still

post disability related articles or newsletters when I get them in my

email. I rarely even turn on my messenger here at Yahoo anymore &

most of the time it won't work anyway.

When I posted last time, I mentioned a site I joined called

Ringo.com. That site wasn't all it's cracked up to be, many members

are very rude, crude & the posts some members make are pretty

offensive. I left the site once, but re-joined later, because some of

my friends that I'd made there were kicked out for supposedly

violating that site's Terms Of Use, which they sometimes take pretty

seriously there, but only with certain instances & members or when it

suits them.

There was one moderator/member there with whom many of us had

problems because he was biased towards his own friends & against

other members who didn't like him so some of us got together, formed

a petition to have him removed as a moderator because we felt he

wasn't fit to be one & he frequently violating the Terms Of Use

himself, and he ended up stepping down from his positon. The website

was recently acquired by Tickle.com & it still has all types of

frequent technical glitches & other things that I find unpleasant, so

it's not really worth visiting anymore.

After a while, I found some of the people that I met on the Ringo

site here at Yahoo & am in a couple of groups with some friends from

there. I now hang out mostly at a new website that a friend from

Ringo invited me to called NetFriendships.com & it's pretty nice,

and I talk to many people on their message boards there, but have yet

to really get acquainted with or become close friends with any of the

people I've met there & there are probably some from Ringo that I've

never gotten close to or really got to know yet.

Kerry!

I was so glad to see your post! I noticed you haven't been posting as much & was

wondering how you were doing.

Luv,

Michele
