Tuba! Diva!  
She’s the best!  
She’s much better  
Than all the rest!  
Yaaaaay TubaDiva!

Ow! Jeez, I think I pulled something. At least it was my _own_ groin this time. Ow, ow, ow!

Happy thoughts to Tuba.

Tuba~

I have mentioned this in a couple of my emails to you in the past, but let me reiterate publicly.

I appreciate you, and all the hard work you do keeping this place up and running smoothly.

My best wishes to you through whatever stresses you are experiencing.

_ahem_

We love you **Tuba**  
Oh yes we do,  
We love you **Tuba**  
But now we’re blue.

Hope it gets better  
And you’re back soon,  
'Cuz we love you **Tuba**  
And think you’re cool.

I hope whatever it is works out OK, Jenny. If there’s anything I can do just ask.

Jenny dear, you’ve to to take care of yourself, because nobody else is going to. A day or two away from all your troubles can do a world of good. May I suggest you check yourself into a nice hotel and take along a bottle of your favorite beverage, a box of your favorite confection, and a good book or two. God knows you’ve earned a little peace and quiet.

I had no idea this was going on . . . and I’m touched.

(But you already knew that.) 🙂

I’m going through a very bad patch of real life right now . . . all sorts of problems, big and small. Nothing that’s going to kill me, but that’s because then it would be over really fast and true suffering takes time.

Taken one at a time, I could probably sail through all this, no problem; having it all happen at once, I’m absolutely overwhelmed.

Reading this thread gives me strength . . . this means a lot to me.

Thanks, folks. I appreciate this more than I can ever tell you.

Jenny  
your humble TubaDiva

**Tuba** ,

Rest assured that anything that _can_ be cured by well-wishes certainly _will_ be cured.

You were very nice to me when I first arrived, and I’ll always remember that. You’re good people.
