Arrow >>To Sapling<<

Sapling, I'm sorry I snapped at you via my "Sponsor" thread. I've thought about it since and realized I was wrong. I am glad you post on my threads and am grateful to hear your opinion. Please accept my apology. I hope we can still be friends.

AWESOME!

Very very VERY well done!

That open-mindedness, self-examination, and willingness will serve you well.

DayTrader: Thanks. I really meant it.

Sapling: Thank you for accepting my apology. I'm not sure why I was so testy except for the fact that I'm a little in angst about the sponsor. I feel a lot better about it now and will seek one out. I mentioned it in my share during a mtg the very next day. I have a lady's number and will call her either this afternoon or tomorrow.

Your posts made me teary!

I suppose you are right. You are praying I get this or you figure it can't hurt to pray? Go ahead and pray, maybe it will help me, who knows. I'm getting it, slowly but surely.

Lost ... you're awesome. Nuff said.

Sapling ... is the 2x4 against our noggins that we need sometimes. I dunno about you, but I need someone to speak the truth to me, not sugarcoat it. Tell me what I need to hear, not what I WANT to hear. That's a true friend.

You both rock.

That's fine Lost..As long as you are moving forward. Like they say in the 9th step Promises...Sometimes quickly...Sometimes slowly...They will always materialize...If we work for them.

That's from the Big Book First Edition...

I love the promises. They are the only things that keep me trying to "get this."

I feel like I am moving forward, for sure. I wouldn't mind the BB for my Kindle Fire. Do I have to pay for that version? Anyone know?

Well, I say I want it straight, not sugarcoated. But I guess receiving that information is another story.

And thanks for telling me I'm great. Thanks.
