Rose, what a wonderful picture!  It is so good to now have a face to go along with the name. 

Okarol and Jenna, I love the silly pictures--you just got to have some fun!

Thank you sweetie, you look rahthar gorgeous yourself  :rofl; :rofl;

Thanks everyone, I was really nervous about posting this, I HATE having my photo taken but I'd PROMISED Petey and it was the least I could do when she'd so kindly sent a boa to the UK for me.  But I've actually enjoyed the day and talking to people about dialysis (as an advocate for my Dad). Petey I do hope you've seen these pics and realise how much happiness you have brought us all by sending out these boas - bless you  :cuddle;

Rose, tears came to my eyes when I saw you in that boa!  It really, really, really touched my heart to know that you wanted one, would wear it to work, and posted a pic for us to see.  Rose, you are a truly beautiful woman (inside and out).  When I saw your picture, I said, "She's just as pretty as her words make her sound."  What beautiful teeth you have (that kind of sounds like Red Riding Hood talking to the wolf, doesn't it?  :rofl;); I envy people with white, straight, gorgeous smiles!

And, Karol -- I laughed and laughed at Jenna's picture.  OHHHHH, to be young again!  Her spirit shows through in her face and her playfulness.  What a joy she must bring to your life!

Thanks to everybody who posted a picture in the boas!  I want to see more (hint, hint -- Rolando and Alene!).

Petey, to have someone from the USA admire my teeth is the icing on the cake.  :yahoo; They are just like that, I guess I'm lucky but they never look really good to me so you've made me feel GREAT!  (Even if you DID sound like Red Riding Hood, though I promise not to eat you!  :rofl;)  I too loved Karol's pics, they are both gorgeous ladies and, as you say, Jenna's spirit shines through. She must be such a source of pride to Karol.

MyssAnne I'm glad  you liked the photo of Molly, as soon as I put the boa on her she rolled onto her back as if to say don't I look good in this' - and to my surprise she didn't try to eat it  :rofl;. 

Today has made me even more proud than ever of this IHD family. Thanks for letting me be a part of your lives.  :grouphug;

Thank you Petey, for the offer, but when I went to New Orleans, I stocked up on boas.   Cheers to our girl.

So will this be used for the offical greeting of members in the Chicago and Las Vegas meeting? I guess that is one way to distinguish us from others in the hotel :rofl; No GPS tracking device needed, see purple boa, know they are from IHD, and no they are not drunk  :rofl;

mysty,
If you'll PM me with your mailing address, I'll send you a purple boa (I have just ordered two dozen more, and they should be here within the week).  Also, I'll send an extra one for that good-looking man you've been seen with lately!
