TGIF...NOT!



Sigh. No edition today. Too many depressing problems to list :( 

Maybe I'll get online this weekend and post something! Sheesh.






Jon is a long time friend and supporter of AHNC. He was there for me when I was fighting cancer. Well, the tables have turned now and he is in need of help. I know times are tough for many of us but any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated. See the link below.





Peace and love to all.
