Does anyone  know what happened to Iggy
According to the log the last time he posted here was Feb. 22,12
while I was in the hospital?
Marg asked me a while back if I'd heard from him, I'm concerned he over did it and had a heart attack. He didn't know when to quit!

I was wondering about Iggy myself Gabby, and was hoping you could throw some light on what might have happened. Hope your assumption is way wrong. I used to be like that but learned my lesson,(almost) !!!!!.

I have been worried for a while.  I saw him when we stayed with him and Fran and he was fine except he was battling depression but we had a long talk and I thought he was going to get back to the forum.  After we returned I sent him an email now I have sent about 4 and a Christmas card, I would have thought that if there was a problem his wife or his daughter would have written but I have received nothing.

Well it's coming up on my new birthday soon the one I really don't remember too well, and I'm hoping he surfaces and tells everyone he was off to the Bahamas chasing wild women!

Hi all. Thanks for your concern, iggy is alive, and I am sorry for the lack of communication, but last year was my ANNUS HORIBALOUS as our Queen described hers when Diana died. 4 Deaths, (Three of them Family) and my best friend and best man at our wedding, lying in bed like a cabbage having had a massive stroke in August. Another friend has had both knees replaced, and I have been diagnosed as having no Cartilage in the first joint of my Right Ankle and have to go in for a new joint sometime soon.  I don?t mind the op but the specialist told me I had to give up smoking for 6 weeks before and 6 weeks after the op, ?Nightmare?.  There were a couple of positives about the year, namely; Bill (Gabby) recovered his ordeal and we had a welcome visit from Marg and Trevor. I tried to absorb myself in work to offset the depression and ended up wearing out my new EX 21, fortunately it was still under warranty so Axminster tools replaced it with an EX30 at no extra cost.
I am feeling a bit more positive now and have decided that it is no good hiding the depressive state under a bush as there are people out there who do care so thanks again for your support and concern especially to Bill, Keefie, Marg and Rob.

Great to see you back with us Iggy. You certainly have been through the mill big style. I'm happy to hear you are also getting back into the scrolling to keep your mind occupied. Keeps you looking outwards rather than inwards. Let's hope everything is settling down now for you, you're due a break. So get back on the forum and help me sort out this gang of thugs, and thugess, ( they know who they are), who keep extracting the yellow liquid. LOL. Need a bit of Celtic assistance!!.
Hope things go well with your cartillage problem. Hang in there Iggy. ;D ;D ;D ;D
All my best wishes to you and the family.

Life is a challenge, I hope the greatest part of your challenge is behind you. The buzz word today it " moving forward"' i hear it all the time in conversations with administration and people in authority. That is going to be my philosophy from now on, I am not looking back only ahead. Take care, you have lots of friends here.

Hey Iggy  Marg is so right Rob needs all the friends he can get, but with friends like us he sure does not need any enemies!
