Oh boy, guys, lots to answer and so little time!

Today is an out-and-about day so I will pop in as I can. I will try hard to get to each question from each person. I am trying to mark the questions for myself so that I don’t forget to answer (and forgetfulness is one of those things that happens quite naturally at my age!)

I am going to put Mark and Gazza at the top of my list when they ask questions since I feel that die-hard comps (Mark) or one who might be a semi-comp but is open enough to ask sincere questions (Gazza) gets special treatment here. Not that the rest of you aren’t special. You all are special. But there are so few comps around who challenge or question on my blog that I want to treat them with priority.

Now as far as the numbering, I was removing a few comments last night that were technical questions. I am not sure I should have done that as it seems to have confused a few of you 😉 because it changed the end numbering. Sorry about that guys and gals.

I would also like to ask for patience from all as I work through the questions. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and it will take me time to respond. I am working on my new book and to do a good job it is going to take me long hours away from my blog. I am going to try to post at least one new blog post a week and keep up with the comments as best I can, but I can’t promise to be super woman. I was blessed to have my deadline extended to August 30th but there is a whole lot of work yet to do and with re-writes and sending the manuscript out to those who would like to write a review, it is going to be touch and go to get it all finished in time.

I haven’t finished reading all the comments that came in yesterday and I will do that later today plus get to the questions later. Thanks for asking such good questions and keeping that wonderful community (yet passionate!) spirit that I love on this blog. If I could, I would reach out and give each one a hug and tell you how much you mean to me.

A special public thanks to pinklight for all her hard work picking up the slack when I can’t answer. I think it has been a couple of years since she has been hanging around and my! what a growth this gal has had in knowledge and boldness. I remember the times when she used to challenge me too (and likely still will) whenever she thought I had it wrong. Thanks pinklight for being gracious and helpful and for speaking out when I was just too busy to be here!

Okay, I am gone now for awhile. Will be back as soon as I can.
