Currently, and for a number of weeks now, Mary (MSquared) has been suffering from back problems. It's been painful enough that she's been unable to get on her computer and work, or post (or even read e-mails).

While she does expect to be back and involved again when she is able, she's not sure when that will be at this point. She says she's past the most uncomfortable stage, but doesn't know how quick her convalescence will be, or how soon it will be before she's able to start working with her computers again.

She sends her love to all.

I'm sure you'll all join with me in sending her your best wishes and/or prayers.

re: The State of Mary


Send her love right back! She didn't even seal it with a kiss. Pff!

Anyway, _small_ things aside, I've seen my pa go down with a bad back before - doesn't look pleasant in the slightest. I wonder how her back got hurt... probably running around those kegs of liquor!

Get well soon, Mary!

I noticed she was gone and had been meaning to ask but thought I'd only missed the memo.

re: The State of Mary


I knew that she was having issues getting on because of work, but was completely unaware of health issues.

I do certainly hope that Mary feels better and soon. My wife suffers from Scoliosis, so I am fully aware of what back pain can be like. I don't wish back pain on anyone and send the best of wishes to her!

Regards,

Jeff

Mary has been offline since April or so; hurting muscles in your back don't take that long to heal; something else (more worse) must be going on. I wish her well and advise "Dr. Horsmeier's Jenever Therapy (DRHJT (tm) (*)) instead of silly whatever.

kind regards,

Jos

Mary's last post was 23rd May in fact.

That's over a whole quarter :shock - horror:

Do you think we should remove her moderator privileges :D

The posting list is not in chronological order: I found a few posts from April. But of course we should remove her moderator status and put her in the hall of shame and change her avatar to a silly pink poodle dog. That should teach her.

Jos ;-)

Hi Mary,
I hope you're feeling well after all that boozing around.
Look what NeoPa did: (I wanted to keep him from it
but he insisted) he changed your beautiful avatar
showing a dragon fornicating with an ironing board
to a silly pink poodle dog; he (NeoPa) did that and he
finds it hilarious! And all the others laughed about it
except me!

kindest regards,

Jos

re: The State of Mary


Ok now that's it. I've had it.

Mary has got to come back now. Even if it's just to post a little belch.
I'm not trying to say that I miss her ... ok so maybe I do miss her a little. Whoever has got access to her email or whatever please tell her to come back and just say hi.

If you want to know what I have done so far(I've read the posting guidelines ):

I tried putting out an APB and a few booze traps. None of it has worked. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

You misspelt 'Plz' and you forgot 'urgent' and a couple of exclamation marks and dots.

I tried phoning last Friday and the message said she was away on holiday.

It's the first time ever she's not picked up the phone. Even 1/2 dead she picks up the phone. I plan to call again over the weekend. I'll post with an update when I get one.

Well, you caught us. Mary and I have been in love for years. She's moved in with me and that's why you can't reach her. Yes, it's a holiday for her. For both of us.

No one knew till now but we couldn't help but express ourselves.

Don't just take my word for it. Here's Mary:

Poor thing, no wonder she drinks. I am guessing she had to get really sloshed to dull the effects of that image. :)

Glad you're feeling better, and make sure you take it easy! (I don't know that that was the medical advice, but they don't usually say go do something outrageous after any visit to the doc)!

You ran out on me. You returned to your native land and client/patient privilege no longer holds.

But I will hold onto my memory of our time together. Of strawberries and poured milk chocolate. And that you have three....well....enough.

I don't know where the idea of the Doc naked switched to one of the Dragon Queen, but nevertheless this cracked me right up. Nice one (Sorry Mary) :D

Dragons, Doctors and poured milk chocolate, oh my!

I wish there was such a thing as brain bleach. I'd wash that image right out of my head.

Sadly, this reminds me that just 4 years ago, I was going to the gym every other day with George Turner as my trainer. I was in the best shape since I was 21. It's amazing what a 4-year hiatus can do to you.

Well Duh!!

I don't think that can be said for RedSon (unless you know of anyone referred to as a baby of 50+ years). Besides, my age is published on every post & I still have nearly a year to go before I'm 50 (well, not any more maybe, but it used to be. it's still in the profile of course) ;D

Wake up Dheeraj! Only the old ones have an excuse to be that dozy.
