"Hey, Russ! The April Fool of ours caused quite a stir.

Yeah, Buddy, it sure did.

Well, we Got~cha~d most of the people who responded & a lot who didn't....hehehe.

Yes. Some of the nice people were really concened and afraid for us, because they love us, Buddy.

The scriptire says, "Perfect love casts out fear."

Yes. Yet, it also says, "Love covers a mulitude of sins." Aren't we glad of that?

I'll say! So, Russ, let's post our new ezine article ~ with some the e-mails ~ to show how our April Fool affected some of our intentional "Victims.

O.K., Buddy. It will be a way to tell the April Fool "Victims" that we do love them, and appreciate how very much they care too.

Victims of "BEST APRIL FOOL 2006" EZINE ARTICLE

As this April Fool http://ezinearticles.com/?Best-April-Fool-2006&type=sv&id=171531 impacted so many wonderful people, I feel that it is important to say "Thanks" to you for putting up with your Good Buddy, Rascal Russ.

To make certain that all of my April Fool "Victims" recieve this follow-up, I will use the same format that I used in getting out the April Fool. I'll create my blog post 1st ~ and then paste it into this article.

My major regret is that ezine articles readers can not see the smilies that I use in my blog :( But here ~ at Chris Knight's great ezine article bank's link ~ you can "Rate"(at the very bottom of this page), and "Forward" and/or "Post a comment", about this latest article (at the top of this same page).

Please understand that posting comments here is simple, yet they too must pass through the editors, and like other comments which are awaiting approval, they may take a few days to appear.

In addition, I'll post a few of the many personal e-mails that I recieved here too:

Gina to me April 2nd

Russ,

I hope that you are really ok. You had me worried. I do not understand the blogging too much and so I hope it was all just in fun right'? The last time I heard from you things were better, so I hope that is still the case. Blessings. Gina

Hi Russ,

Please forgive my ignorance of the type of MS that you are experiencing but when you stated "your last letter" to your sister, Rita, I really felt bad that I have not made the effort to come and visit you and be aware of your inner feelings and pains that you are going through. My Juno server crashed and we lost our address book.

Russ, I was feeling down when I first read your email. I was praying that you would be alright and keep doing the good things you do. I forgot all about April fools and all. You got me realizing as I already know that I need to let some people know that I love them always. Thanks for the wakeup.

Best Regards,

John Estell

HI, Nancy :)

I just got off~line (video cam and IM) with my sister and brother who were the most impacted victims of my April Fool prank. They are both fine with it, now...LOL...But both were totally caught flat~footed... My Sis' had been in tears, long before learning ~ at the very end ~ that she had fallen for the once a year "Got-cha" celebration...LOL... Hopefully, both she and my brother will post comments about my "Best April Fool 2006" article also ~ as I urge you to do :)

Anyway, I wanted to put your mind at ease, clearing up any possible misunderstanding.:)

~Healthy Hugs~

Your Good Buddy ~ Russ))

Hey, I love you two :)

BTW,did I tell you that I was thinking about getting pregnant?

In the words of my three year old's, "your a poopy head!" Jason and I didn't know what to think, but we're certainly glad you are okay. Jason was reading it while we were getting ready for Church and all he kept saying was, "I thought he was doing great...he always says he's doing great." It wasn't until I read that last line about April fools that we thought maybe it was a hoax. A small tip...next year tell us your pregnant for April Fools, we won't worry as much!!!LOL

Russ,

You have quite a sense of humor, and BTW operating the interenet while on some meds really is not a good idea. I think you should get a tattoo,I got two I figugured that with the pain I had at the time I would not notice and I was right.

Dang this EBS (Empty Bed Syndrom), that you wrote another ezine article about, is the pits.

Well i would say that, frankly, most of your blogs are difficult to decipher. Perhaps it is the state of mind I am trying to percieve them in. What I do know is that it would be a shame to discontinue such cryptic self perceptional works of truth. As i stated before, I truly cherished "The Battle" and frequently enjoy your whimsical bulletins you post. It is an unrewarding work of humanism that I would hope you realize is greatly appreciated by those who lurk in the midnight shadows.

Mayur to me on April 4th
I knew that this was a joke, Russ. After all, it was April Fools!

Please exclude me from any April Fools blogs - I don't think I can stand it! LOL. You have to remember, I take things very seriously. Naughty boy! I'm just beginning to calm down. Remember, I missed April Fools Day - I wasn't online and it's now the 4th.
