To all of our readers and website users:

We are extremely upset along with all of you that our Message Board and Shoppe have been down since Friday afternoon.  This was NOT our decision and we had no knowledge that the company re-designing our website would shut down the message board and shoppe for the entire weekend.  Had we known, we would have NEVER let this happen and we are so sorry to all of you that depend on this message board every day.  Yes, we did say we would have this available to you 24-7-365 days a year and this was completely out of our control. 

I have been in contact with the company's president and they are diligently working on getting this back up and running.  We had absolutely no intention to have the message board down this long and would never want to do this without any warning.  Obviously the president of this company did not realize the importance we place on our message board and shoppe.  We should have the message board up in its' entirity in a few hours.  Again, we are sorry for this and we are just as upset about this as you are!  Thank you for your patience with us and for your comments and feedback.  As we all know, things happen that we cannot do anything about and this is just one of those cases.  We appreciate your loyalty and participation on our website and message boards.

Sincerely,

Christa D. Reed, Publisher/Editor-in-Chief
