Everyone’s said it as well as I ever could, but Amy, Wally, and all of the rest of your family, consider yourselves prayed for, with good karma-vibes hopping from Michigan to Canada. Wally makes this place seem more like family. Get better and get back here, my friend. ---

Amy: It’s hard to make an impression on the Message Boards, but Wally sure did. Please let him know that his thread on the hampster made the “Threadspotting” page this week. I know that will help him recover. ---

Amy, give my best wishes to your father and my hopes for his speedy and uneventful recovery. He is very much part of the tone of this board and without him, part of what makes this board so colorfull will be lost. ---
