Mamabear,

I've been "lurking" since about 3 years ago, eventually registered in last year, but only started actually posting a few weeks ago!

I learned a helluva lot from this BB over that time, and my own life has improved dramatically as a result. Many previous posters went elsewhere - I took that as my cue to start helping newbies and playing forward what I had picked up here previously.

I'd be very happy to help you if I can - why not start a new thread with a post that summarises your current situation?

S&A



"A man can be destroyed but not defeated" - from The Old Man and the Sea, by Ernest Hemingway.

Which I take to mean that every man has within him a spirit of relentlessness and optimism. Its already there; he just has to cultivate it.
