h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Dear friends,

Many of you will have noticed that our Pan has not been active on this special web site for some considerable time.

I have just spoken to her on the phone. She has been, and still is extremely ill with some strange-sounding neurological problem. Until last week she was unable to walk or stand. Thanks to some revolutionary treatment and wonderful care where she is she stood today for two minutes between the parallel bars.

She would love to hear from all her friends from the "BBC" and so if you would like to send her a message or a get well card I shall be only too happy to pass it on. She is full of courage as usual, and would like to be in contact with as many of you as possible as the hospital is over 100 miles from where she lives so contact with her family is not that frequesnt.

With my good wishes and with much to you all from our Pandora

I had noticed. Wish Pan all the best from me, will you? And send her a whole bunch of these .

Pandora I do not know you but any friend of AR1 is a friend of mine

I for one know from personal experience people begin to walk again quite frequently.

Each has their own trials and whatever yours are things can change.
We may or may not will them so but one thing I do know is if you have the dream you have a most important start.

Everything I have ever read about you has been positive.
Seems Hope is synonymous with Pandora

Best of Luck and buckets of patience and perserverance to you.

Needless to say we have missed Pan in the Crossed Purposes, we have dragged her blue goo coach from thread to thread, to the extent that it is now fitted with a remote control device!

Please tell her how much we miss her and with Gwennie caught up with RL too, it is a very quiet place at the moment.

Thanks for the report, AR1.

keep your spirits up, Pandora. There are a lot of good people here willing you better. *waves* to good people.
take care

after having misssed pandora for a long time, desperately trying to find her for some time and finally having heard about her severe health problems sunday i was delighted to read your posting today, alson ran 1 it gives me hope, but what is more important: it gives pandora hope

please tell her i her and miss her and wish her all the possible

AR1 - you kind soul, to bring us news of our beloved !

I had a feeling in my waters (as my ol' dad used to say) that something was amiss...

Now please pass on the proverbial





and tell her if she's not up and about kickin' butt by the last week in July when I'm in Florida (for a conference) I'm a-gonna hire me a Harley and ride ter O-hi-o ter drink some moonshine or something 'erbal ....

(I won't really, of course, but it may put a on her dial for a moment - I really DO miss her...)

Pan, dear friend, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I was hoping you were off doing the dirty with some beach boys, but feared you were down again.

This place is sure dull without you. Hurry back.

pandora.we had only just started chatting when you disappeared,but i wondered where you had got to.I am sure your determination and strength will get you where you want to be.If each good wish were a step you'd be able to run a marathonThinking of you..luv salx

Hey Pan...

we've got some pirating to do.


looking forward to your return

Hi Pan,

This comes with lots of love and best wishes from one of your (newer)Crossed Purposes chums,



Thinking of you,



JulesK

Hi all of Pan's friends. I shall wait until there are twenty messages and then download them and send them to her.

She mentioned you Pierce the Pirate on the phone. I think that maybe she lost all her replies when something happened to the computer in the hospital. Wrinkled Rocker I am sure that she will love the Harley Davidson Story. You will have such fun in Ohio!!.

I have told her that I shall phone her twice a week - on Mondays and Thursdays. So if you have extra messages do send them in.

With from the twins - ancient and modern!! (Pan always felt that I must have been like her when I was young and called me her older twin. Would I be so lucky!!)

Also Ran1

well, you can tell her that i feel like her older *siamese* twin (even if i am a scandinavian)

Please give Pan my best wishes too, AR1 . I know how fond of her you are and of your special relationship. She's not had a good time of it for a while now, and she's such a great person!

AR1 - please forward heartfelt greetings from The Ethereal Elven Garden to Pandora, the barefoot nymph...

From:

Titania, the almighty Gardener

The enchanting royalty VIP, Princess of the Garden

The wizened but still oddly attractive old man Garrick AKA Acid Override

Mysticrunner who's still miffed about having his weaponry stolen by Mother Nature

The flower fairies in the meadows and the dolphins and the grumpy old turtle in the river

*oooh, hurries to make the count go towards 20*

I'm unable to think of a good pun just now - knowing how much you just adore those

But you keep getting well - and I keep thinking of one. And that should give you a very decent chance of getting there first!

God bedring! [get well soon]

SG V

DO PLEASE wish Pan hello from Roadkill! My sincerest hopes and wishes to Pandora, hootoo has not been complete without her! I believe I have her email address, something to do with the hair of a particular type of bird (those that have the address will know what I mean).

Good luck Pan! All s to you! Get well soon!

Hi All you wonderful people,,

Thank you all for your overnight meessages. I shall print them all and then post them off today. I shall keep sending them to her twenty at a time - so I hope that in this way she will have continuous corresp9ondence with you all and know what tricks you are up to.!!

Titania we first met at your Autumn Festival so thank you so much for introducing us!1
Zarquhon you will be able to give Pan a first hand account of your wonderful holiday on the QE 2 holiday. Yippee !!


Pierce the pirate - I know she has a very special place in her heart for her Scandanavian relation!!.

And all Pan's friends that I do not know, keep your news rolling. I know that is what she wants to pass away the hours - although I know that she is doing as much as she can manage in hospital. I shall be phoning tomorrow night and will post the latest news on Friday.

thank you all
