Nope, she's good. I need to share some pictures - maybe a pic of her on our new generator. (OK, that may not be exciting to many, but to those of is in upstate NY where the power is known to go out during a snow storm, it's a big deal.)

Aw.



Thanks!

Do let me know if she is asking for some x-mas candy from 'the old world' - I remember she was very fond of x-mas candy.

Hi Oxirane,
Just checking in. Is everything OK in the household and is Miss Raffe still behaving (relatively) well?

Probably a little. He did drop off for a while last year too. Hopefully he and his family are fine and he's just distracted.

We should probably try emailing him.

Atrial fibrillation. Not immediately life-threatening, but if left untreated will kill you. I get to take a handful of pills twice a day, and in a couple of weeks they are going to do some sort of zap to my heart to try to straighten it out.

I didn't call Oxi last evening. I zonked out too early. I didn't sleep well in the hospital, so I'm making up for it now. I'll try to get to it today.

Hopefully that all goes well for you. Also hopefully you get Oxi and get some good news on that front.

Sounds like they're going to do an ablation procedure on you. Hope all goes well! I know someone who had ablation done and it turned out well for them.

I just dug through all my old PMs and found the one with his number. Unfortunately, it's a work number rather than a home number, and since he's mostly working from home lately, they probably can't connect me unless he happens to be in the office that day, so I have to leave a message. It's also after 7pm, so I can't do it today. Have to do it tomorrow.

I remember Mr Oxy man, he was always very friendly even towards us very silly persons, and spoke friendly on middly night at timely square time, managed to make himself stand out as an outstanding standout gentleman in a, now, very famous burp, from the terrace of his house, that was picked up around the world yes, with much aplomb. Legendary.
The Burpy family hopes that Mr. Oxi is just fine, and we offer our cloudly eyes should they be requested yes.

Mr. Oxi Man, please do not forget your are legendary! Please to be coming back here with words of wisdom than you yes. Thanks you.

She is doing well and if her credit report and financing comes through (lots of moving parts), she'll be moving to the Outer Banks of North Carolina in a couple of months...we need her tax records for the pre-qual...if it doesn't work out, she'll remain living mortgage-free in a nice neighborhood in upstate NY.

Either way, if anyone would like her company, please let me know.
