Hi, Jo. This is a thank-you to YOU! I needed that more right now than you can ever imagine.<P>I love the people on this board, old friends, new ones. So, I just can't help but lurk, even if only a couple of days a week! Then I get on a roll. I read a few posts and I see things that remind me of me and Robert.....Not everything is a guarentee, but some of the behaviors - they're so similar. And I see a chance in these relationships. (Yours is one of them, my dear!)<P>But I do remember....how very tired you get, how hard it is, how much things hurt, how deep that hurt is. It's the worst thing that ever happened to me. I know there were nights I never would have made it without the encouragement of success stories in the making from my friends on this board. So, I start talking...encouragement, whatever, I don't know. And I can't seem to shut up!! (Shouldn't surprise my old friends here.) 'Cause I don't want anyone to give up out of exhaustion if there's something else to work on..I don't know. Then I re-read my posts and wonder if I sound like some sort of self-righteous idiot!!

<P>So, thanks. I want to help. I don't mean to sound like I criticize, so this is a public apology to anyone who ever took something I said that way. It's important to me. Harley's principles work. I combined them with others as well. Not all the time, but they sure stand a better chance than doing what comes naturally!<P>See, darn it! I can't even say THANK YOU without running off at the mouth. Be thankful you guys don't have to LIVE with me!!!!! <P>Love, hugs, and thanks to you,<P>Lori<P>
