Sorry to hear that -- glad you got out of there and are on the mend.

That's good!  May it be diagnosed "NOS Mint".

Uh, Glen, did you ask the doc what he means by "normal lifting".  Not
sure if an 80 lb boatanchor meets the criterion.

Take it easy OM.  May be high time we started abducting, uh, recruiting
young folk as assistants, with a two-fold objective. #1: Help with the
heavy lifting and #2 Indoctrination!  Who's gonna take care of our
collections 40 years from now?  Who's gonna lurk on and post to all these
lists?  There's a third benefit -- they don't have to spend money working
out at the gym.  It might be difficult to catch one -- they're kind of
quick and slippery.  Wear your baggiest pants and put a baseball cap on
backwards, then sneak up on 'em.  I can hear it all now: "Hey, who's that
funny lookin' wrinkled dude, dude?"  "Oh, that's my friend,Glen.  He has
some heavy metal toys that are really coool!  Only charges me $20 a week
to move 'em around. Check out this six-pack."

Be careful with certain chemicals -- particularly paint and solvent
vapors.  Read the fine print we usually ignore.

listing this information.

Apology not required.

Be well,
Barry
