      Hi Wildcat, I just reread my response to your thread "545 People" and I have to apologize to you. What I wrote was "snarky" or rude and sarcastic. I'm sorry. Julie

      Hi MarySue, How are you doing this Monday morning? Its been awhile since we have talked and last time I know you were having trouble with your computer. I hope that issue is solved..I have a nurse coming over this morning to show me how to use the auto inject gadget for my shot I take. I dont know if I will like it or not. I have heard good and bad things about it.. I take the Copaxone. Have you ever tried it? I hope your doing okay and I want you to know that I am thinking of you. I just been busy with my grandson babysitting for the past 2 wks. off and on so I am pretty tired. I have such extra time to rest up now. You take care hon!!! Love ya.. Mary

      I was thinking about you, and if you were doing OK, while I was out at Sauvie' Island shooting photos this morning. It was great, the fog only lay three to four feet off the ground and that's why I went out there to catch the fog that way...success!!!
