Bear! I don't remember you EVER being quite so shameless! ;-)
Hope Rose feels better soon, too! Give her my best wishes!
10 posts out was my limit in the "old days"... I usually liked to wait a bit and sneak in at the last second, though. I had a little extra time this morning since I didn't have to drive Rose in to work, checked the thread, saw it was there, and figured it wouldn't last until I got to work, so I went for it.
Hadn't had a good spam in ages, it seemed. Some folks even forgot what they looked like....
Rose was going back to bed when I left, BTW, but I'll pass along your "get wells" when I talk to her later, if she doesn't see them herself before then.
Corin, regarding your recurring respiratory distress... have you thought about consulting an allergist?
