Get well soon, **Lynn** ; I’ll deputize myself a Junior Mod and go mouth off at some jerks in the Pit while you’re recuperating.

Bah. **Lynn** just wanted a vacation, and didn’t want to deal with a shitty mess when she came back, so she conned Ed into making this announcement.

Okay, that’s what we want to happen 😃

Please allow me to apply the Ernest Angley healing smiley… Place the afflicted region on or near the mo-ni-tor…

Does anyone else visualize Lynn hooked up to an IV, with a bulge in the middle of the tube caused by a Godiva?

Best of Luck, kiddo. Get well soon.

Get well soon, Lynn. I promise to be on my bestest behavior while you’re gone. Unless Jarbaby’s in a thread with me. Then it’s Go Time.

Sorry, Lynn, my [getwell thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=3527791#post3527791) seems to have had the opposite effect. Am I a jinx?

I have a friend who claims to be able to heal (or at least make people feel better) using [Therapeutic Touch,](http://www.skepdic.com/tt.html)[sup]TM[/sup] which, I’m sure you know, involves no touch at all. So she should be able to heal you remotely just as well as she does on me. I’ll get her to work on this right away. Let me know if you feel anything.

Also checking in to wish you well, and that whatever put you in the hospital disappears permanently but leaves a healthy, happy, and non-grumpy Lynn behind. We need you back!
