Hey, everybody...I just got off the phone with Laurie, WCGreen's wife...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

She called to remind me that Wednesday the 22nd is his birthday!

You all may remember that he's a little depressed these days, due to setbacks and the long hospitalization he's enduring, and she thinks that he'd love to have some birthday cards from his friends.

So, I have her permission to post his address so you can send him a card.

Christopher Green

J-5-1-6

9500 Euclid Avenue

Cleveland Clinic

Cleveland, OH 44195

Let's show him some DU love!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Thanks, everybody, for all the recs! I hope he'll get lots of cards.......

He needs to hear from us.

He's not using his laptop now, so snail mail will really work.

[rufus dog]

2. Nice work Peggy!

Will send a card.

Off to get one now.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Thank you, my dear rufus dog!

Be sure to put your username as well as your real one, so he'll remember!

[rufus dog]

11. What?

My real name is Rufus Dog, you mean people don't use their real names?

Just kidding, forgot on the ecard, he will get some card from "Rick Dog." At least I referenced DU.

And for the trolls who think they know my name now, "Dog" isn't my last name.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. No worries!

Some folks do use their real names.

[rufus dog]

14. Just kidding

Keeping this kicked for the West Coast crowd tonight. Let's see if we can overload the email server at the Cleveland Clinic for WC.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. I'd love to see that happen! It would make Chris very happy, knowing we're here for him. n/t

[rufus dog]

19. well let's make it happen then!

Come on West Coast and Mountain Time Zones, let's set a high standard for the East and Central Time Zones to hit tomorrow.

[treestar]

43. I don't think they see the name and email

from the preview anyway.

I sent one in real name and one in DU name

[Ms. Toad]

3. You can also send eCards

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/WebContact/GreetingCard

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Of course!

That's a great idea!

Thank you.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

20. Also Done!

[rufus dog]

8. Done,

Only thing I wasn't sure of was "Patient City." I assumed Cleveland, wasn't sure if it was a security question to make sure you knew the patients home city to stop spam.

Anyway thanks.

Edit, just got email confirmation from Cleveland Clinic, ecard has gone through. Thanks again.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. Cleveland is the correct city. Hey, I'm glad it went through!

[calimary]

21. Looks like mine did, too!

Thanks again for keeping us posted, my dear Peggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. I'm so glad it went through, my dear calimary!

[davidpdx]

24. Thanks Ms. Toad

I'm not in the US and this is a much better and faster option.

[annabanana]

40. Oh that's great!

snail mail will have to be a "belated"

[niyad]

46. thank you for this--snail mail would not have gotten there in time.

10. How very cool, and Happy Early Birthday to you!

I am so glad I can supply the connection between DU and Chris.

I know he is dear to many here!

[MrMickeysMom]

16. Thanks, Peg.

I don't keep up with as much on DU lately, but I always look to keep up with your reports on WCG. I can very much relate to what he's endured. I'm grateful for my health every day.

You can send an e-card. See post #3 for details!

Several folks are doing that and I know Chris will be thrilled.

[herding cats]

Wow. I am honored that it was this post that got you posting!

You know Chris is very political! I am sure he will love the card.
