Jo, GREAT that you got some good? sleep. Don't be surprised if this sleeplessness lasts for a while. I just try to have a good book around.

Rebecca, how are you this morning? New day, new opportunities! We are here for you always.

Chord, you are an alcoholic...it's really simple actually. Treating the problem is, of course, the difficulty. In my experience it takes two sober weeks to stop obsessing about a drink, so you almost need to plan for that, and you are partially there! The good news is that addiction is a gift. Seems strange, doesn't it? But I was telling my stepdaughter that; my life has become so much richer in human understanding, and forgiveness, and friends! How many people have the kind of deep friendships that we all share. Keep going buddy!

Little Missy, you are very fortunate to have kids (as I am sure you know) and I am getting my dose of "family time" taking care of my stepdaughter and her family. It is wonderful for me to be in the bustle of it all, but I go back to my rather more quiet life tomorrow :-( Still, I have worked my tail off with cooking, cleaning, laundry...you Moms have all my sympathy (and envy).

R-man, how are you and Dora doing?
