Oddly enough, Laurie, I had the same thought yesterday but didn't have time to post anything here.
Maybe she's just too busy taking care of Tony to spend time idling about here? Or perhaps she's not well? Maybe she's found more interesting or entertaining online playmates than us lot?
Whatever the reason, Carol, we wish you well and hope you'll drop in and say 'hi' sometime while you're waiting for the kettle to boil or the washing machine to finish spinning, or something.
