Thanks Lilya and 2Stop for the feedback. I agree that a movie thing would be really good. Also I love to read, so maybe we could have book suggestions too.

Lilya, I'd love your help with the daily affirmations or quotes. Sometimes I can't get on everyday because of work and family stuff. Also, although I'm very well read, I will have to go and look at authors, or people who I would want to quote to dig them out.

Some people are good at remembering things like that off the top of their head, but not me. LOL

There are also things called "homilies," that I like. I think they are based on what is known as "Mother Wit." Are you familiar. Oh, like one I remember goes "I don't believe it when fat means greasy," meaning if you have aslick (manipulative) type person trying to convince you of something it's most likely not true. Or "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater," and "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face." Not that any of those are applicable here. Just what comes to my not much of a mind. LOL

I already said I'm not good at jokes, but I hear they have a blast over at Recovery Follies,

I will start a gratitude thread and make it a sticky at the top o.k.?
