Hypothetically, when Henry gets back, how long before he starts posting his threads again? I don’t know that I’ve ever contributed to one of his 'what if?" posts, but I almost always read them. Get well soon. oh, and kayaker: > [@](#): > > I know a Henry who I call En-er-eee. But not a Willie or a Sam? ---

Read him some emails. He got upset. I will try something different. He is having a procedure right now. Thanks for trying anyway. Bye. ---

Here’s hoping Henry makes an uneventful recovery from whatever ails him. We’d really like him back here. ---

Best wishes to all the Rhymers. You’re in my thoughts. Please let Henry know that when he’s back, I’ll make [Lemon Bars](http://allrecipes.com/recipe/11458/lemon-pie-bars/). And he needn’t worry about any “secret ingredients”; I’ve long since forgiven him for the cockroach eggs in my Rice Krispies. ---

I’m sorry to hear that he’s upset - \*\*Skald \*\*is one of the real cornerstones of the Dope, and the reason I first delurked here.

I can’t imagine well wishes from a distance can possibly upset him. So I’ll just sit here and do that. Skald/Henry is such a large presence here it is nearly impossible to imagine the place without him. Hypothetically or otherwise. Best wishes for a smooth path and a speedy recovery! ---

I know he doesn’t know me from any other stranger on the internet, but for what it’s worth, I feel he makes/has made positive contributions to the board’s tone. I hope he starts feeling better soon. ---

I hope you are healthy soon. Especially since the death ray you sold me is still under service contract. This might not be the place to ask, but recently its been making the targets sizzle a little. Is that something I can calibrate at home, or do I need to open a service ticket? ---
