Before I go off, am looking forward to reading about your daughters, work, and yourself, Jamie, whatever you feel like sharing.

Read the first 2 announcements here. They are impressive. Rick, will you please tell me how you pulled this off. You are a genius.

Not sure what two announcements you refer to, Tina.

I love you Tina and Rick and Marilyn.
Rick, you are my hero for setting this up.
Tina, today I bought a guitar and signed up for lessons, the man will come to my condo, and, and, and,
I am finally moving my piano out of storage, into the condo where it belongs.
I love working at the hospital, 3-4 days a week now, and I'm very involved with the celebration of tree's upcoming event, as well as other fund raisers.
Brooke is clean Tina and Rick. She has been clean since June, and is now out of her lock down treatment center and attends daily outpatient treatment as well as NA meetings.
After that she has 8 years probation and must remain clean. So I have learned to live in today. Not tomorrow, and not yesterday. Just today, and I'm very grateful.

Julie is teaching her own class of 4 year olds, as well as extra class after school for the toddlers. Basic spanish etc. The school is paying for her to complete her college degree and also she is on their insurance.

All around, life is getting MUCH better.
I love you Tina, Rick and Marilyn.
Loveslife (Jamie)

Rick, I don't know how you open up, but I have to click General Comments/Inquiries about "Attaching Anxiety & Depression" to get to our thread which is 3rd down on the left column. The lst is "Recent Newsletter Update" and the 2nd is "New Stress Center of Terms of Service." The place seems so classy.

Jamie, I am awash in love for you and such happiness at what you say here. How fabulous for Brooke. How terrific for Julie. How excellent for you. Lordy Lord, I am all smiles. Just regret the time we were not together every step of the way.

Have to leave for now because someone is coming momentarily about the treadmill. Glad I was back in time. Oh, this is so, so good. (I mean you both)

This was not unexpected: we have to get a new one. I am convinced that such cost more than makes up for itself in health down the road.

Getting a piano moved is no small matter. There is a short of Laurel & Hardy moving a piano. You can imagine.

That hospital recognized the gem they got when you walked in. So did we, as tough as it was for you at that time.

I feel very sad for the few people left behind. They must feel a great loss. Wish I could help them. We seem to have this to ourself to discuss anything we choose. Of course you are on FB, Jamie, and Rick maybe you'll have second thoughts too. Everything is open, except LTT.

Sounds good, Rick. Let's say I'll be back in an hour, or you tell me when it is convenient for you. I'll keep checking back. Rick, you probably could have fixed that treadmill (j/k).

That be fine, take your time.

As I consider this further, Rick, I don't mind checking in as I do because then I can see what's going on otherwise, like these announcements, for example. Maybe I'll check out other threads too. I minimize the site and so can check back just as easily.

But, thank you, you are always the best. Also the time is strange. CA time, I think.

Well, I'm here because I said an hour. Then I change, but you'd have to write it out anyway.

I do check back to FB. Heather has posted long pieces trying to be helpful. That is really so nice of her.

Anyway, I'm here for while.
