I want to tell you all that I appreciate your kind words. A little acknowlegement and understanding can go a long way. I knew I could count on this group for that.

Fire-bird:
I did let the bastards get me down but that doesn't mean I have to stay down, right?

Tourguide:
I am counting on there being many warm,nice,friendly people out there and if one of them would appreciate me that would just be the icing.

woodman'sgame:
I think I will find many friends here. It's a wonderful group of people.

Thorne:
I don't think I will feel so alone knowing there is someone out there who understands and has been through it too.

Nikka:
These lines offered more relief than you know. The understanding goes a long way.

I look forward to getting to know you all more and learn from you. Look for more posts from me in the future. I'm going to browse the forum to try to avoid starting a thread that has already been played out. Forgive me if I accidentally put you all down a road you've already trodded too many times before.

Again, thank you,
Karen
