[blparent] getting better

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I'm glad Gab is getting better.  I've had a bad tummy for years, and I can 
attest to the fact that the pain gets stirred up by strong emotions, and 
sometimes it does feel like it might be a heart attack, even though I know 
it isn't.  Hopefully Gab won't have to take the Tylenol PM or the tummy 
medicine for too long.  Take care.
