I may be breaking protocol here and if I am, I do apologize, but do know that there are gentlemen that frequent this board that have tried to contact me without a response in days.

Hurricane Isabel visited my home this past week.  I just got my power on yesterday, only to have it go out again.  An on again off again routine.  

I will respond to emails this evening.  It is suppose to rain again this evening and must finish getting the trees removed before that happens, but wanted to let the gents that have emailed me several times know, that I will get in contact and let them know that I am alright.

Please bare with me at the moment.

Lauren

I know you are very good about responding to emails and therefore KNEW when you didn't you must have been smitten by Isabel. I was VERY concerned about you and am relieved to know you are fine, albeit some discomfort from the storm. I hope you catch up soon so we can communicate. You are a special lady.

Please "bare" with me? Pun intented? cute

Intended, not intented. Sorry, I got all excited.
