Charlie, glad to see you jumping right in.  I have Fibromyalgia, so I know what you mean about days spent just sitting with a heating pad.  This is a great place to pass the time on those days.  I sometimes have them when I push myself beyond what I think I can do, which is most days.  Sorry, but I have never seen an episode of Buffy, so can&#39;t converse with you on that subject but I am sure we will find lots to chat about.  Our next cruise is 249 days away, so I have lots of time to &quot;anticipate&quot;.  I live in Colorado - wish we were having the same weather as you, but spring is still quite a ways off for us.   I am happy that you found your way to us here at CC - I really am looking foward to getting to know you...
