While You're Waiting for the New Tasks..........

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

This would be a GREAT time to check your totals and get any issues resolved. If you head into the last 2 weeks with everything squared away, it will be much easier to make sure things go smoothly at the end.

SO - check your point totals, BB totals and GRA totals. If the posted totals don't agree with the ones in your own records, first, check your math. Then, make sure you've actually posted the tasks you planned to post - GR has been known to eat posts! Then, check the ?/problems thread. If none of these things resolve the differences, post in the ?/problems thread so we can try to get it sorted out. PLEASE give as much info as possible - because of changes in GR, it has become impossible for us to just pull up your old posts, so we need anything you've got to try to solve the problem.

DO NOT wait until the last minute to do this. On a personal note, I have to go out of town on the 30th because of a family medical issue - so I will have limited time on the 30th and 31st to resolve problems. I'd like to have any problems that exist before the 30th resolved before the 30th!

Thanks, Sandy. I hope everything works out with your family.

Thanks, Sassafrass. My mom is having cataract surgery on the 31st. Should be just fine, but I need to go down to stay with her for a couple days during and after the surgery. And it's about an 8 hour drive each way.

[Sassafrass]

Oh, good. I hope the surgery goes well and she's seeing wonderfully by the time you get back. :) I'm sure she'll appreciate having you there.

Have a safe trip.

[Ashley FL]

Good luck, Sandy -- I hope things go smoothly!

(and I hope you have a good audio book or two for the drive :) )

[Donna Jo]

Sandy, wishing your Mom the best of results. Travel safely.

[Laurie]

My mom's having the same surgery on the 23rd, so I understand what you're going thru. Good luck to your mom.

[Karen Michele]

My dad had the surgery about 5 years ago and he's 88 now and he has had no problems! Take care, Sandy --- I'm sure it will go well.

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone.

Actually, I developed cataracts in my early 40s and had the surgery a couple years ago - it went great, so having me there should reassure mom!

[Cindy AL]

Best wishes to you and your Mom, Sandy

Thanks for the good words and good wishes, everyone. Both the trip down and the surgery were uneventful -just the way you want car trips and surgery to be!

[Bea]

Yay!

[Sassafrass]

Wonderful news, Sandy!

That's great news, Sandy.
