Morning Steph (well, for me it is) . I'm here, sponge in hand. Just tell me what you need today. I'll be on stand-by till you're ready to get started.

Hi Steph,

I really liked that. SR's a good place to come to thaw out. I'm starting to thaw out myself.

Hi steph, sponge in hand, I'll wipe your puddle, if you wipe mine.

Burgers, and fries will do...

Yes we can only do somethings our self, but this story is a good read.

Story:

This guy dies and is at a gate, the gate keeper says, you have 2

choices where you can go, one is heaven and one is hell.

The guy says, can I see both and then make my decision?

Yes, says the gate keeper. We will go to hell first.

So they get there and see a huge table beautifully arranged on

the table is a feast for any eyes, perfect roast of lamb, turkey,

beef. Mashed potatoes all the beautifully vegetables and more.

Around the table are a sorry lot of famished, sickly looking individuals,

all holding a pair of 12 foot chop sticks, and they ore only allowed to eat the

food by using the chop sticks. This bothers the man and he says, lets go see heaven.

They get there, and see the same thing with a table of beautiful food arranged

but the people are all happy, healthy and laughing with each other. Then he notices

that the people are feeding each other, the women 12 feet away from another

women picks up a morsel of lamb with her chop sticks and gently puts it in the womens mouth.

The other woman does the same thing in return.

The man looks at the gate keeper and says, lets go back to hell, I want to tell them the secret, they don't have to be starving and ill.

They go back, the man tells the people the secret of what they are doing in heaven

feeling proud of himself. One of the people, looks up and says: You think I am going to feed that idiot, you are crazy.... The man looks at them in disbelief and decides to go back to heaven.

Steph, anyone that is willing to get the dirt out of their puddle, I am willing to help.

Love ya girl, hope3

I don't have any extra sponges, but my 24 Hours A Day meditations book can soak up coffee spills like crazy.
I'm sure that'll do the trick!

I am saddened to hear of all that you are going through , You are loooved and missed here at SR , stay strong while away and I will anticipate your return , Damn why does it seem like I lost a family member , most of us have grown to know and love you , you were one of the first people that responded when I first came to SR , and your words of encouragement ( and the rest of you too.. ) gave me peace and hope I can honestly say that you and others have contributed to MY recovery . Thank you Steph , I miss you already . till I got nothing left. JEI
