-RPD: We Apologize For the Inconvience-

-M: Vicky just had a stomach virus from hell, and she's still recovering, so if you're wondering why she's been incommunicado, that's why.-
-D: We'd thought we'd dodged a bullet -- her parents had something very similar, if not the same -- earlier this month, but no luck.-
-VD: She hopes to be better this weekend -- keep your fingers crossed!-
-TD: And send internet Popsicles -- she's craving Popsicles for some reason, despite the cold snap we're in.-
-VD2: Probably because fluids are the best thing she can keep down -- she really doesn't want to eat regular food.-
-D: True. Anyway, that's the report. Wish her luck with work today -- she's braving it.-
-HD: And somebody tell her to drink some tea!-
