Hi all, thank you to those of you who have signed up for the Mentor Teleconference on April 11 at 12 pm CT. I look forward to developing the agenda for the June Meetup with you.

@duvie @travelgirl @adriennef @dawn_giacabazi @predictable @sandytoes14 @vdouglas @windwalker I hope that you can make the conference call. Please see details in the original message of this discussion thread and click the green Signup button.

@alpaca @cynaburst @llwortman I know that you've sent regrets but am tagging you on this discussion so that you can be part of the preparatory discussion. I recommend reading through the comments and adding your thoughts pre and post teleconference. I will also be recording the teleconference so you can be involved that way if you like.

So good to hear, Dawn. Do what you can. How are you?

Linda! I heard you've been having rough winter weather in Big Sky country. I'm thrilled you can make it.

I have signed up and will do all I can to be on the line the majority of the time. There are many wonderful things about being a volunteer mentor. Near the top of my list is learning to take care of myself thanks to all of you!

Colleen,
I don't know if I'll join the teleconference. I've not been feeling well and have been pretty much inactive in the group for a week or two. I found out last week that my doctor won't prescribe my morphine sulfate contin at any higher dosage than I have now. I only have been taking a low dose, and it's clearly not enough. I'm not sure where I'm going to turn. Right now, I don't know what my involvement with Connect is going to be. Sorry I can't be more specific. Life is just too up in the air.

Missing you all Colleen,
Sadly we have found a second tumor in my left kidney. I’m getting ready to return to the great oz in Rochester. It’s been a rough couple of months but I’ve got my head and heart in line once again. God is good and he can handle everything!!

Many blessings!!
Dawn

Oh, @ dawn_giacabazi Dawn, really sorry to hear about the tumor finding. Glad you are coming back here to Mayo. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

@jimhd -- I, too, am really sorry to hear about you not feeling good and about the prescription. (I read your post last week, but am a bit tardy responding). When you are able to be on Connect, you've been such a critical help and connection for members in the Mental Help group -- just invaluable. Sure appreciate you.

@johnbishop

Under the Tips & Tricks category -- My favorite tool if you are using a Windows computer is Notepad - a great, simple text editor that I keep handy to cut and paste information from multiple sources and combine it into one source for pasting else where. I created a shortcut on the bottom Taskbar so that it's available when ever I need it...just have to click on it to open. I also have a links.txt file that I keep all my favorite Connect links and information in one place. When I'm in Connect I will generally have this open and can copy and paste from it.

@gman007 I use google doc a lot. Feel free to ask me anything about them.

I like using google spreadsheets for tracking members, etc because then I can sort by different criteria as I collect it. For example @username or date joined or group
