Since I'm the one doing tweaks - I'm sorry that it got delayed due to unforeseeable events over the past two weeks.  I so totally appreciate your patience!

I've added a new feature - each month's news will be archived.  For people who are curious and want to learn more about things.

Pain is not something I enjoy, nor enjoy having to have four teeth yanked from the upper jaw.  Right now, I look like a rabbit if I do an open teeth smile.  Yuk!  But next Monday, the 15th, I'll have a retainer with fake teeth on 'em to make my smile somewhat almost complete.  Almost complete because I still need fillings for cavities and such.  Which my insurance decided wasn't part of the full dental coverage.

I'm thinking ... uh... there's the problem with America's health care system.  Compared to other first world countries, we pay SIGNIFICANTLY more.  Yet we're the country with the most health problems.

Simple solution - pay for prevention and maintenance.  Stop insisting on useless tests or procedures to prolong someone's life when doing so would result in literally no quality of life.

Oh yeah, for those of us who are broke, essentially - stop making it cheaper to eat crappy junk food.  Make it cheaper to eat healthy, rather than junk food.  I'm sure obesity would be significantly reduced.

/end of soapbox

Here's the actual news - tonight, I'm archiving stuff, wiping the thread up to April 1.  AND doing the promised tweaks.  (You might be asking, what tweaks? Find out soon!)  (And shame on me - I lost the newest artwork and I can't even remember WHO did it.. *big sad face*)

Thank you, everyone, for participating in a wonderful thread, being donors, being giftees and most of all - being kind to each other.  That rocks big time!
