Thanks Pat and you all for caring, will make some posts as soon as I am more relaxed without the effect of HDMP and getting all hyperactive and no making much sense of what I say. love to all Chonette Ps I managed to go to my carpentry class this evening and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, even I was tired, it was the best therapeutic thing I could do.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Chonette Hang in there. Bad days are allowed and aren't a reflection on your strength, but just on the fact that you are human. You've been a great source of strength and information for others, which I know comes from your own inner strength. I didn't know that you were an accountant. My father was, also. Perhaps that's where I get my sometimes obsessive interest in the numbers. Pat**************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.
