> [@BigT](#): > > Everyone else is assuming you mean his sickness is depression. But I read it as he was sick, and it was making him depressed. Yeah I remember the last time he was sick, he was physically sick. Extra rough on him since he’s a diabetic. Get well soon, Skald! ---

Skald/Henry, I’m sending healing vibes of all kinds your way. I hope they don’t get caught up in telephone lines, or hit by airplanes, or anything nasty like that. Usually they do just fine and reach the intended…Let me know if you get them. ---

Maybe I copied it wrong, but the address in the OP wouldn’t work for me. I’ll try again. Now, about those bees, do they go just for pollen, or blood? Seriously, I hope you get well soon. I’ll keep you in my prayers. ---
