This is a special free-for-all as its to update friends on what happened this past month. On with the show! LIVE!!! From the Hyperspace Fortress somewhere hovering in space yet at the same time able to join you at the dinner table, it is... Pro's Free for All WEEKEND!!! Okay first thing is first... I get that its not even the weekend, but I'm breaking tradition slightly. Other than that, this is the thread I use to update others on how I'm doing and if anything remotely important happened its here. Now then, I apologize for the absence in March, and it was just after I got done coming back to Mylot. A few days after coming back, I ended up with a really bad case of the flu and infection. If you need a measure of how bad, I was short of being hospitalized (but ordered bedridden) after spending the first week with nausea. And now four weeks later, I've mostly recovered, but I'm somewhere between 15 to 20 pounds lighter. Needless to say, March was rather brutal. Anyways I'm pretty fair now, but I still feel the toll of recent events. I'll make my way back to mylot at my own pace. Be sure to leave a line as to how you are and what's going on with you!

March shall now be known as the month of sickness. Everyone in my house was sick at least once...my husband and baby, twice. Because of that my kitchen isn't done being remodeled and we will be having Easter dinner with the inlaws this year. Grr. Now since you are able to hover in space at the same time as joining me for dinner, what time should I expect you and what are you hungry for? You were too skinny to begin with, we need to get those 15 pounds back on you before a strong gust of wind comes and carries you off. :)

Several years ago I got really sick - throw up - and I lost 80 pounds in three months. I dry heaved, and ended up at the ER for dehydration three times. I feel your pain man.

G'day there Pro...nice to see you but your situation sounds a bit dire. You poor ole thing. Hope you are much better now and ready to join us again. You'll see a lot of people are gone...I've no idea of the where or why's of it but things are a tad dull around here. Life goes on for me much the same except that I'm now doing volunteer driving for the local community. It tends to take me away for a whole day when I have a trip which is limiting my time here somewhat. For me, the new myLot "tasks" idea is a bit of a flop, I've had a look on a couple of occasions and not been moved to take up the offer...seems I'm not alone. It's good to see you back, hope you get to hang around a bit this time around

I've always imagined you on the rather lean side anyway - you know - the kind of young man your mom is always encouraging to eat! And mom like friends. I'm glad you're feeling better. I've been taking a break from my sweepstaking to go to another favourite - looking up earth berm and dome homes. Didn't you write an article on these? If not, maybe you will in the future?

Sorry to hear that March was not the greatest month for you. For myself it was a busy month I guess. I wish however that busy meant actually getting things done, but alas that was not the case. Still given the necessary celebrations that occur in my life most March's it is not really surprising. I wouldn't go so far as saying that it was truly spectacular this year but at least there are no complaints. Anyway back to now :) Glad to hear that you are feeling better and on the road to recovery. Just in time for the Easter/Spring celebrations. For me I know that your free-for-all is rather fitting for today. Here it is school holidays for a week or so, which pretty much just means it is like a super long weekend. I am planning a bit of reorganisiation, rearranging and then preparing for the coming months :) ~ fairy wishes & butterfly kisses ~

I'm glad to hear you're recuperating, Gamer I think I've been here more the past couple days than I was all last year lol. March was pretty brutal on me, although somewhat exciting. During the course of the past month I've worked so much overtime it's ridiculous (but the paychecks are nice :D ). I've finished an Organizational Behavior class and missed the first of yet another English-Lit class am at this very moment attempting to catch up the assignment due tomorrow night. I got a dog (finally!!) to put in my new back yard ...yes, we moved. Our 2nd oldest son and his family moved into our old place so now I have my grandchildren closer and in a much safer neighborhood than where they were living (they were robbed, thank God they weren't home!!) Hmmmm....I'm way too wired/wiped out to not have more going on there somewhere... Oh yeah, my baby cousin (now 23 w/ a little baby boy of his own lol) got married a week ago today:D ...and I adore his new wife, the whole family does. My youngest stepson turned 18 this past Friday :( I think that's it. That's all I can remember of the mad blur known as March 2009. I hope you're back to 100% soon *passes Gamer a fat hot toddy*
