"Behave, you little twit!" LOL!!!! You are so funny, Katharine! I really loved your poem. I'm doing well, and doing as I'm told, (which is very hard!) but Graham keeps a check on how long I'm on here. I went to the hospital yesterday so the specialist could check my eye. He was really pleased with it. Now I'm hoping my other eye will be done soon. Lots of other appointments coming up for my breathing. I am getting there. Lots of walks which is helping me sleep better. And the best medicine is reading the messages I've had from my friends on here. Yours is typical of you, so nice and soooo funny! The perfect pick me up!! I will come back as soon as I can. I miss you all. Thank you, my dear sweet friend. Love and hugs, Sandra xxx

I'm so glad your eye is doing well. Heavens, if walks are making you sleep better, I may have to start walking again. only thing is, with all the green stuff falling from the trees and squigglies, it's allergy time for me.
How is your breathing? Doesn't bother you when you walk?
Do take care of yourself. As you can see, you are a very popular lady and dear friend and we want you to be hale and hardy.
Good for your husband for keeping tabs on you. Please tell him we appreciate it!
Love and hugs to you. I'm going to catch up on some of your posts.

Oh yes, I have actually met Sandra face to face on messenger of course, a couple of times, she always seemed relaxed and talkative, but one thing struck me, she was always so nice, beautifully written Katharine, blessings Roy

Your poem made me smile! I love how sweet your poem is - you clearly care a lot for Sandra - it really shines through. I especially enjoyed that fun "good girl scout" line and the playful "twit" bit at the end - it was just perfect! Your poem is like a cheerful hug wrapped in rhyme. What a lovely way to lift someone's spirits!

Wonderful thoughts and wishes for our dear friend, Sandra. I know she is enjoying each and every one of them. It proves that regardless of the "political and religious" battles bouncing around on FanStory, the heart of the people is still beating strong for our friends. Well done!
Smiles, Carol

Katharine, I love it.
This is exactly the kind of writing that reminds me why community matters. You've wrapped care, humour, and camaraderie into one light-hearted gift-and I'm sure Sandra will feel every bit of it.

I hope you're right, Tim. And thank you for your neat response, as always!! She and I have critiqued back and forth and visited on different things, I don't think she was offended, but didn't know about other readers.

This is a fun get well wish for Sandra. She is such a good writer and helpful to all of us. I wondered why the picture was fuzzy. It just looks like a little fog is moving in. Very nice poem.

for some reason, and I guess I need help with it - though I didn't used to - I reduced the size and went to apply it and it wouldn't. It's getting where the things I used to do on FS, are a problem for me now. I wanted to increase the pump money, but I hit treasure chest by mistake and it took so much money I couldn't do pot of gold, so I've requested help from Tom, bit I did add a little money to the pot.

I wasn't bothered at all by the size of the picture. Excellent rhyme and flow in your writing, as well as gentle humor. Sandra has had a great impact on us here on FanStory. She has quite an imagination, and she is always so considerate and thoughtful in her reviews. I think she is improving, as she has done some reviews. I think it's good when you recognize that you've been overdoing. judi

right, and I hope she follows through with taking it easy.
Thanks for your always lovely review. I had a problem also with the money. I hit treasure chest by mistake instead of pot of gold, and it used so much money I didn't have enough for pot of gold, so I told Tom. waiting to hear. I did add a small bit to the pot. sorry it was too late for you.

reply by judiverse on 04-Apr-2025

Truth to tell, I can't imagine how those people who sometimes have at least three works posted on the Welcome Page do it. Do they do that many reviews? I think I should check that out. judi

Awe, this was a perfect send off for Sandra. You kept it light and let her know how she has affected us all. Her dry wit and wonderful writing will surely be missed. I hope she won't be gone long. Gretchen
