Lorraine Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) I was just sitting here and heard something. Sounded like someone was walking around my property and I turned in time to see a man put something on my doorstep and walk away. Going quickly to the window, I got there in time to see a Federal Express truck drive off. Ran to the door and saw a very large box sitting there. I hadn't ordered anything big enough for the size of the box. Upon looking at the return address, I see a law firm in Chicago. I panicked. What if someone was suing me for something???????What did I do wrong????????I shook the box and it sounded like there were documents. Someone was suing me. That must be it. In the box was a massive Complaint and other documents. But I didn't do anything wrong, so what was I being sued for??? You should have seen me trying to get it open. It was taped very well. i managed to slit through it without cutting myself. I honestly don't know what to say. I wasn't even sure what section to put this in because I wanted to make sure everyone saw this since I have no idea who was involved in this, or even whose idea it was. Did Geddy really autograph that???????? :wub: :wub: :wub: My eyes are full of tears. There are no words to express my emotions at this moment. Who do I thank???? But thank you isn't enough! The only thing I can think of to say right now is this - never before in my life, certainly not in person - not ever, have I encountered the type of people that I have found on here. Since I first got here, you've treated me like this. You've given me so much. From my heart, I thank you! :kisshug: EDIT: Forgot to mention that there was a birthday card included inside the beautiful book. :) Another very thoughtful gesture.

Lorraine Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Wow. That’s fantastic.Laura, it looks like Geddy autographed it. This is what it says: Hi Lorraine, TRF's "Dial-up Diva"Rejoice &Happy B-Day And then it's Geddy's signature. :) I don't own a phone to take a picture of it and post it on here. If I did, I would do it. You all should see it. Edited July 23, 2019 by Lorraine 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
