Sorry I have been away for so long. Super busy with family affairs, between the estate of my mother-in-law, and the health issues of my step-mom. Just no time to be on the board. But, if there are any specific issues you think I need to give my input on, please send me a PM and I will respond as soon as I can.

Thanks all for your understanding,

Jan Smiler

P.S. On a lighter note, I've lost 64 pounds so far with my medical weight management program and have finally completed my 30 weeks of weekly classes!


Take a deep breath and relax; this too will pass.
