I have six trades in process currently. Some of them are more than a month old (nearly two months). A couple of them are multiple time traders, a couple are first time traders. None of them include a large number or high value of cards, but I have dropped the ball on all of them.
Many of you know my family distraction; my 8 year old daughter (the third of our five children ages 4-14) has been diagnosed with autoimmune encephailitis. She had to be taken to specialists at Duke University this past week. The good news is she is home, the bad news is I thought I sent cards that I didn't.
I will be turning off my for sale lists for a few weeks, and not initiating any trades. I hope to be able to be back on pace by May. All six pending transactions right now will be mailed on Monday. Each trader will be notified individually. Thanks everyone for being such a great site! I'll still be on and contributing, just not trading for a bit as things calm back down.

Thoughts to you and your family and especially your daughter. My oldest is 8 right now and I cannot imagine the hurt and anxiety you must be facing and her as well.
Stay strong.

Yes my little guy is 8 as well and as much as I get tired of him certain days, I'd be lost without him. Good luck with everything and all of us are fighting for you, hockey cards I am sure are not THAT important.

Thoughts and prayers are being said right now. My youngest will turn 13 and my grandchild just turned 1 and I would be lost if something like this happened to me.

"It's only baseball cards."
I've been saying that to trade partners for years. I don't care if you mail them tomorrow, or if you mail them next week. Life is complicated. And there are a billion things more important.
Brimose, you and your family have not left my thoughts since you informed us previously of your daughter's ailment. Continued best wishes for her, you, your family, and her healthcare providers.

Thanks, all. We should be in decent shape for a while. We're even trying to plan a family vacation to the NC beach over the summer when she has to go back. I think the ocean will do all of us some good :)

My thoughts to you and your family. I agree with everyone, they are just cards, they can wait, your little girl can’t, so with that being said send the cards when you can.
