I think the server was down for a couple hours. Maybe Armando is just having troube bringing up the site?

Armando Salas 31 Aug 2008

Thank you for your concern, dear friends. I didn't feel well during ten days. I visited my doctor but looks like her diagnostic isn't right because I feel worse. I think the antibiotics aren't the suitable solution. I still will take the antibiotics two days more. Three days after it, I must come back to doctor if I'll not get well.

Sorry. I'm not in mood to write or be around.

Special thanks to Sharon Gonzalez by her support. You're an adorable person, girl!

At least, all of you will smile.

What about a new challenge ("Spanish potatoes"). Not sure if it will break the AW guidelines.

1:46 my time. It's too late but I didn't sleep well lately. Going to bed but before a new smile: my new self portrait.

You are such a bad boy when you are not well. :)) The new portrait is ..... well I went to the carnival when I was young and a side show barker said com-on-in and see the two headed calf. It was stuffed.

Hope you're better soon Armando..

I too am unwell.. I must have been bitten by a deer tick and now have Lyme disease.

Armando Salas 02 Sep 2008

First of all, thank you AW Staff. Now is easy to jump from page to page of this thread.

Good work. Efficiency.

Armando Salas 02 Sep 2008

I'm in bad mood and worried because I finished today the antibiotics and I didn't notice any improvement . Really, I think I feel worse:-((( I'll do what the doctor said: I'll go to visit her next Friday if I don't feel better.

Meanwhile I'm drawing just to distract myself. I need it. My next work is about "Rapa das bestas"

"RAPA DAS BESTAS" - Description

From the top of the hills visitors can catch a glimpse of the Landro bay or inlet and beyond it Coelleira Island and Estaca de Bares. Here, during the early hours of the first Sunday in July, and after a traditional breakfast consisting of garlic soup, the horsemen begin to round up the wild horses to tame them in the paddock where they are then branded, their manes cut and domesticated in an impressive struggle. The festivities continue until night falls over the hills.

Few photos and my sketch.

Armando, I'm sorry to hear that you're still not feeling well. I hope the doctor will soon find what it is and give you the good medicine. Wishing you a speedy recovery!!

I love your new artwork, what a great subject again!!

Pamela Davidson 02 Sep 2008

Armando, thinking of you daily, that your health returns.. nothing worse than being ill and not knowing whats going on.

I applaude that you can continue to draw such pieces even though you are not well, when I am sick even stickmen suffer LOL

I love the horses in the next leg of your series.

Terry, are you really sick with lyme disease? Gee the men here are fallin apart.. I sure hope there is a fix for that!!

I have some good news, it seems I jumped the gun with the zoo, I got an email the other day, telling me to be at the next meeting on Sept 27th, so maybe this is going to work out afterall!

AW has been at it again.. so glad to finally be able to see the pages again THANKS!

I hope the rest of you are all doing ok as well!

Olga van Dijk 03 Sep 2008

Hope you'll feel better soon Armando. KEEP IT UP!

I was out for a while, since I've (still) friends over from Holland and we're traveled around a bit.

Terry, Lime disease is a serious illness with lots of nasty side effects. Are you diagnosed with Lime disease?

---- GET WELL SOON, you guys.---- I'm sending my healing thoughts to both of you...

Love and Light~OLGA

Anneke Hut 03 Sep 2008

Terry, Lime disease is really a nasty one. Olga is very right about that. Take good care of yourself!

I hope that you also will feel better soon!
