Flies are done - will be in the mail Monday.
Bubble Grannom done in mail this afternoon!
OK, been a while since I tied this small. Flies are starting to arrive.
Sorry I haven't sent flies, yet. We've had some major health problems around here this month.
I'll get them tied tonight, and in the mail first thing tomorrow.
Mine will be in the mail first thing tomorrow.
I'm having trouble with the peacock quills - too brittle. My June fly will now be "The CDC One Feather Emerger."
Bob9
Mailed my flies for the June SOTM today.
Bob9
My apologies, work has been hectic since the beginning of the year and getting worse, my flies will be going out in the morning.
Mine will go Monday!
Well, I tried to fight it for a half year. My hands don't do what my brain wants them to do anymore. I hoped every month again that there would be just a small improvement. Today I must admit that due to my Diabetes my nerves are too damaged for my hands to perform the tying off flies anymore. I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting and waiting again. Now it's done. I have to stop entering swaps, I can't complete them. Sorry again. You're a really nice bunch off people and I was proud being a part off that for as long as it lasted.
Sjo:
Though we have never met I consider you a great friend. I have learned a lot from sharing the swap with you. All I can say is Thank You.
Regards,
Bill
sjo,
Sorry to learn you are quitting the swaps. Hope your health improves. Take care.
Bob9
sjo Very sorry to hear that.
Rick
SJO it's been a pleasure to have swapped with you. I'm so sorry to hear about your limitation and health issues. I hope to hear from you and see you back in the swap soon until then my thoughts will be with you.
Waiting on Gig, Alba, Chris and Jim. I know Gig is in, how about the rest of you?
I am in im really sorry I should be having them finished soon. Im sorry Im so behind... I have no excuses.
We will wait as long as someone is trying. Thanks for the update.
sjo,
I am so sorry to hear that You are having the same (sort of) problems I have mine though aren't from My Diabetes...Thank You God.
Mine are from Arthritis and a "Service" related injury in 1970 in Viet Nam.
I have been following the SOTM threads and I do miss it and EVERYBODY!
God Bless ALL
Bill
I got the same masochistic need to keep on following the threads. Allready missing being part off something great and unique. Who knows when my surgery is done? Maybe I come out feeling better.
Sjo
My flies are in the mail. Im sorry they were so late. SJO sorry to hear about your health issues, and how its affected you. Hopefully the surgery fixes the issue.
Dang I just realized I forgot to put the toe tags on the flies.
Sorry
All flies in except Alba and Chris who are AWOL. I'll get the packages ready this weekend.
The troops are getting a bit thin.
Bob9
:(
Yes, it happens. Takes commitment, stamina and luck to hang on to this swap. We've traveled together through illness, hard times, changes in interest. The swap continues. Gigmaster, we may want to invite new participants...
I'll put out an invite.
Ok! Everything is sorted and ready for the post office Friday. Good job everyone!
Flies in domestic mail. Have to get to
Post office for Geoff and Sjo.
Got some nice flies in the mail today.
