Congratulations :clap_1: to Paula for winning the hand-knitted scarf which I made and presented to her in person this morning! I forgot to get her photo, so maybe if you encourage her, she will get one of those girls to take her photo wearing it, and post it for all of you to see the happy smile.

For those of you who are clueless, after I posted the story of my friend Josi, who was severly injured in a traffic accident, many people sent Josi many thoughts, notes, prayers and treasures. Some people even gave money to help with the massive costs, which to this day have not been covered by any insurance company. Josi's total costs so far are slightly over $500,000 and she is due to have more extensive surgery in the near future. For everyone who sent in money to assist Josi, I put their names in a hat and drew a winner, Paula, form whom I knitted a scarf with colors to remind her of the beautiful Gulf waters of our area. Sorry for the delay in production, Paula, but I know that the temps are still in the freeze-your-butt-off range in Michigan, so it should serve you well up there. Keep warm! If you get too cold come down to the beach where the temps should be in the lower 80's this week.😀:wub::wub::wub:

Thanks again to everyone who was so kind to Josi. If you need her address again to send additional cards, please let me know. ;-)

I think she would get a kick out of monke mails, but the only email address I have for Josi is her work email, and I think monke mail would be filtered out in a heartbeat, but you could try it.

Franny,
Heavens no, I did not go to Michigan. The temperature is too damn cold up there. Paula is at the beach for a few days.

I'm having this same problem on and off with them.. Two or three will load up fine, then they start timing out. I noticed this afternoon that Jessifunn had done a Jdarg monk-e-mail, but I couldn't get it to load. So I called Peapod to see what the monkey version of me said- I was worried!!!:blink: :floor:

SJ- I am having this mental image of you showing up on doorsteps- presenting the "winnahs" with their hats and scarves, a la Ed McMahon and Publishers Clearinghouse!

After reading that you posted one, I searched through all of the monke posts, and found only one for smiley j, post #129 I seem to recall, which was great! Did I miss other ones intended for me?:idontno:

You may be right...I guess the live one confused me. Riv-o mentions you in one of his. I think its Riv-o 2. He wants to show you his beaver.
