Hi Jaboo :-)  In addition to being a terrible wiki penpal, I would never be brave enough to even TRY to complete CW in gargoyle!  And - you taught me by example - you are one of my earliest friends since I only started acquiring them on January, and at first they were MyT generated and very few at all. I have you on a log in mid Feb, my first one I did to try to better understand the friend aspects.  You do deserve credit for putting up with me :-)

Gee I had Kansas Left Overture on an 8-track and blasted it on my drives in my 1970 camaro (bought at auction for $400 out of my dime piggy bank and McDonalds earnings) between college campus and home to stock up on groceries LOL. Oh the memories... Sorry, TMI off topic. giggle

Happy to have Galactakid5, and I sent him the ex talis I would have sent you (AND he gifts passes instead of thread :-) )  Maybe he will come to like the game a bit more eventually. Maybe his 'need' for your help is more emotional than intellectual and he just wants the interaction with you and something he knows you enjoy. I notice you have been quite busy with RL and not playing as much - I have even 'caught up' with you!

I sorta looked around for info in DMSO. Interesting - I will try to remember to ask my rheumatologist about it next week. Before I got in with him a couple of other doctors tried other NSAIDs but they did not put a dent in the pain - only predinisone helped, and I had a dozen old expired pills which were the only way I got through the funeral arrangements and made it to graveside service for Mama. The Rheum. Dr put me on the lowest dose of methotrexate 1x pw, along with script for folic acid to avoid the anemia it can cause - but it takes 6-12 weeks to see how much it helps. I took my 5th dose last friday and go back to him next Fri 13th (uh oh). It has helped some with hands, wrists and ankles (and made typing this a bit easier!) but feet are still very painful and I can only tolerate about 20-30 minutes on them at a time - if I am in my HOKA Bondii6 running shoes (the most cushion and support out there!) and shoulders still cause me lotsa probs. He said my case is particularly aggressive but it seems to be stagnant on this med, so that's good - It had been getting worse almost daily since early March. Suffice it to say it has been a major life changing event to suddenly be almost non-ambulatory after having such an active life - and living alone on and so rural makes this particularly challenging. Oh I could go on and on about my problem, but... it is depressing so I will stop now.

Anyway, I am grateful to have had you as such a wonderful friend on the game - and you seem to be able to pull me out of my hermit rock to actually write on this wiki! Well, other than looking for game data or new friends. Thank you for your guiding patience and friendship in both. Don't work so hard you forget to check out the beauty outside or in the sky or love on your family! Best wishes for you too Dear. See you i Darkwood! Bo
