I've been doing ADs for the part year or so. I'm no convinced they are making a huge difference, but I am not convinced they are not helping, either. So much other stuff has been changing, it is really had to say what is cause and effect! But I think I am feeling better, whatever the reason.
Yep, your thread is kind of your "home" in cyberspace!
