Oh, Ken...!  I knew what you meant.  I was just backing Kyle in his support of you.

I'm sorry you're having so much trouble.  Hang in there and let us know how you're doing.  And don't worry about the length of your messages; the important  thing is not to put too much stress on your hands.

my doc has taken me off my job. i am waiting to see if
i can retire with a pension (smaller than i'd get if i
made it to 65.) i have herniated disk, bone spurs in
the vertabre, and permanant tendon and ligaments in my
shoulders, elbows, wrist, and fingers. all of this
causes pain. i have been trying to make my post short
to save the hands. obviously i have shortened some
things to the point that i am being misunderstood. ie:
it looked as i was trying to insult mag. had she not
known me, she'd have felt insulted. not what i
intended at all. mag is one of my favorite liberals.
   now last night, my shortness made some of you think
i was leaving the group. i only was saying i am tired
depressed and cranky, so i'll go to bed. mmaybe i
sould have said just that.
   i'll try to not shorten things so much that you'll
not understand what i am really thinking.
   i am sorry.
