Maybe it was a band but it wasn't named the eagles but they played songs for eagles (either the football team or the birds.)

I left my stupid phone at work. I don't have a landline. I'm no slave to my phone but there are people who would worry if I don't reply. So I emailed my family and my friend.
I don't know if I want to drive down there tomorrow and get it or not. Maybe. It's supposed to be nice. It would be more fun with my car instead of the rental, because I could put the lid down. Still, I could stop at Hobby Lobby, maybe see what cheap movies are playing at the 'not quite yet to video' theater... I'll see which way the wind blows tomorrow. ![]() |

I've lost 4kg in the last few weeks.
One day maybe I can eat again. ![]()

I have a question.
Let's say you got a "get well" card for somebody who has just had their leg amputated. And the printing on the card already says "you're in my thoughts and prayers.". How do you sign the card? "Get better soon" doesn't work. "Sorry for your loss" sounds like a joke. There must be some appropriate signature line. What is it? This person is like 80 years old, if that makes any difference. |

Just "Thinking of you" or "with love"
You don't need to be explicit. Just let them know you care. ![]() Of course if this were a joke question I'd have a thousand answers. ![]() |

It's not a joke question, but you can answer like it's one.
We've had this card sitting on the counter all weekend, while joke after joke comes out of my mouth. It's not helping. |

I'd just sign it, 'with love' or something to that effect.

For an old person, an old word that takes into account the loss: Hope you recuperate soon.

It really doesn't matter if what you write kind of repeats what is printed. What is printed serves to tell the person what kind of card it is. What you write tells them you care. If you know them well, you could write a little more, like a letter. People (older people especially) like to hear news and reminiscences, just as long as it doesn't make the card "me me me". or you could enclose a note. Definitely don't dwell on the amputation/mention it at all. if you do that, you haven't a leg to stand on. What?

For Hebe to triumph in the 100 breast stroke at State Championships. See -it wan't my place to want it.
Anyhoo she didn't triumph but she did OK.... but then she did take bronze in the 200 when getting to finals looked hit and miss...... and unexpectedly placed in the 200 fly, -where getting to finals was a given non-occurrence...... so I feel ok about wanting it now. kinda

I'd agree with this.
