Our fearless leader TubaDiva is going through bit of a rough time right now. (I won’t give details; she can provide them if she feels led later.) But the lady spends more time keeping this site and MB going and sweats more blood over it than probably the rest of us moderators put together. I think she deserves as many good thoughts and happiness as we can send her way right now. So, (((Jenny))) … hang in there. We love ya, hon! ---

As many good thoughts as she needs. Big hugs, and all the rest. ---

A little more polish on that 1897 Conn Half-Lady Sousaphone, there, **Eutychus** , I believe you missed a spot. {making little waggly horns behind **Euty’s** head while waving merrily at **TubaDiva** } ---

Jenny, I do hope things improve. I have tons of respect for you. This place wouldn’t be the same without you here. Hang in there, lady. Things will get better. If there is anything I can do, let me know. Jim ---

**Tuba** , whatever it is you’re going through, you know we’re all here for you. This place wouldn’t be _right_ without you here. Thank you for your time and effort and, like the rest, if you need an ear (or an eye?), I’ll do what I can. ---

Well, just to take a load off your back, I’ll decrease my ‘pain-in-the-assness’ a whopping 12.3%, ok? that’ll help, right? 😃 **Tuba** we’re in your corner. (one advantage of this slower than owls’ snot computer - I never, but never get that “We’re sorry but the administrators of this board only allow posters to post once every minute” message. ) ---

((((Jenny)))) Whatever it is, I hope it resolves well. Give us an update if/when you’re able to discuss it; otherwise we’ll just have to stick to the cyberhugs and tongue baths. Has anybody figured out a good way to indicate tongue baths on a message board? Hmmm … ---

{{{TubaDiva}}} Hang in there! I know sometimes some of us may not seem appreciative of all the time, energy, and work you put into the SDMB, but I appreciate it. I certainly couldn’t do it so that just makes me appreciate all of you even more. I’ll be sending you lots of good thoughts today. ---

I’m not much for cyberhugs, TUBA, but I hope things are going okay and, to the extent they are not, I hope they soon improve to perfect hunkydoryism. And thanks very much for all the work you do around here. A couple of aggravating Pit threads have reminded me I don’t say that often enough. ---
