You get the idea!

I'll keep this short so it doesn't take up too much space but I want to thank the very generous, anonymous benefactor who gifted me a lifetime subscription.

I've had an annual for several years but wasn't able to renew this year as it's been a rough year and was feeling guilty for using AdBloc but just couldn't deal with ads. When I read about the lifetime sub going away I knew there was no way I could buy one for myself and more than the ads it was the e-books and photo uploading that were calling to me. I asked to be added to the list, (which is very unlike me!) never thinking someone would actually choose me as there are many more deserving people who need a sub.

So thank you unknown Hanukkah elf (I just made that up) for your generosity and wonderful compliment. I will try to live up to that! I am repeating a promise I made in Onomastic's diary earlier that I will make sure to be a bigger and better part of this wonderful community and will pay it forward as soon as I get my act back together and manage to get out of the depths again.

We have missed you here on Daily Kos. Now that you are back, we have a virtual quilt to to present to you. While you were away, lots happened here. One of those things was that Sara R finally had her gall bladder surgery. She's recuperating now and getting back up to speed, but we didn't want to overtax her with making a Love Catcher quilt. So I thought we could make you a virtual quilt. But I had absolutely no idea how to go about it. Enter Horsefeathers, whose talents are limitless. What you see below is the result of her talent. There are messages from many of your friends on the quilt and some that unfortunately didn't make it do to space restrictions. Those messages and photos are posted below the quilt.

As many of you know one of our own, Swampyankee, has had a really bad time of it recently. She lost her husband and it has hit her very hard. It was so bad that she attempted suicide. Luckily, she thought about her kitties and called someone. She is doing much better and is in therapy.

I had originally suggested a Community Quilt aka Love Catcher for her but as Nurse Kelley reminded me, SaraR is still recuperating herself from surgery and is behind on the quilt list. I certainly don't want to add any pressure to SaraR or jeopardize her recovery. A huge thank you to SaraR for the inspiration!

In talking to Horsefeathers, I suggested a virtual quilt but had no idea how to pull it off. Well, Horsefeathers talked to mytrinkets and between us (and of course Andy, Stanley and Peeps - feline companions if you're not part of the PWB group) it all got worked out!
