Lexie,
I think my chances of finding an aa meeting are good. lots of them around. and thank you for the ettequite - heck how do i spell that? anyway, i will listen, and learn, and be very thankful and appreciative.
i do so appreciate all of you, helping me. i hope that i am not the thickest-headed person to ever join the group...
