I got into it with someone who will be my leader in the next couple months, so I am looking. Good news is that I am number one in loans and deposits for my entire region, second month out of training. Bad news is that it is killing me.

I am well. Cancer has not come back and now, more than ever, I just cherish my time. No way any place or person is going to rob me of that.

Kisses!!! Jan

Jan!!!

I'm so glad you stopped in to say hi! I was just asking about you the other day and I'm so happy you're doing so well......you are a warrior

It all seems so long ago, a blur........lots of bad memories but time has faded many of those and its good that we can remember the fun we managed to have during all that insanity.

Email me - same address. If you dont' have it PM me here at the Ledge, I'd love to catch up with you.

my thoughts exactly... he ruined enough for so many of the FM fans, no need to see him and get sick at a FM show

Hope your family is well and don't be a stranger

In the online soap opera world they combine names - Carjack, etc and some of the names they come up with are very creative. The shows themselves use them in publicity and interviews when talking about couples. I've never seen the shipper term used anywhere but in the FM circles.

I believe I read that in addition to refunding memberships, the club would take back tickets from fans who are unhappy. Seems like Larry and the other members were very upset by what happened and determined to fix things now and on the next leg in the US.
