I hope for a post from FRC that reads: "I resume posting snippets when Sharon has recovered."

That way, when there is a snippet, we know we have something to celibrate.

Does anybody in this group of addicts know if RFC/MWW and family are OK?

The last thing that I saw concerning the health of the family is what RFC wrote at the beginning of the last snippet:
<quote>
Sharon has been really, really sick for the last couple of weeks with a respiratory problem that just isn't going away, and while she's been under the weather, I've had to pick up and carry a lot of other balls. There just haven't been enough hours in a day to keep up with everything, I'm afraid.

Given this, it makes me feel like a sweet eater looking for his next fix of ophalum, but...

Please, Sir, may we have another?

Given RFC's silence since the 5th it looks likely that either Sharon's problem has turned out to be really nasty or that he is running his little paws off trying to catch up with all the stuff that slipped while she was ill. The next snippet will come when he can get round to it.

Welcome to the forums !!

I find reading the posts here almost as
entertaining as reading the books themselves !!

So many posters are experts in various fields
of which I know absolutely nothing that during my
time here, I have learned many things, and I find
this keeps me interested.

btw - Mr Weber's top priority seems to be his
family's well-being.

So, even if this causes the snippets to be delayed,
I can't say I disagree with him in that respect !!

He and his are in my daily prayers.

Anyway, once again -- WELCOME AND ENJOY !!

Thanks for the welcome, and I have to agree these forums are nearly as entertaining as the drugs Mr Weber calls books. I have been a lurker on these forums for more than six months, and am just now poking my forepaw into the light.

Normally right now I would be complaining that our snippet was late. But when RFC posted the previous snippet, he mentioned that Sharon was having health problems. So instead of complaining, I will express wishes that all is well within the Weber household.

I saw somewhere that it seems the interval between snippets has been getting longer...

something like snippet, 13 days later next one, 14 days next one... I believe if pattern held we should see one any day now...

I'm sure someone will correct me.

but as everyone else has stated:
