Back atcha, Sandy. It's a tough world sometimes, but life is sweet when people care about you.
In the end, only kindness matters.

Science is not the answer, it is the question.

Sheryl it is a tough world but people like you and the others who have showed me so much support here makes it a wonderful place. The encouragement I have received since I started this has been worth so much to me. I have made friends I didn't have and got to know more about some I did know but hadn't actually visited with. And getting to know the one lady I helped was also a blessing. I am a really very lucky lady

Well here we are at the closing of this journey we have taken together and I am a very blessed woman. Life may throw us twists and turns but it is what we do with it is what makes a difference. It is not always easy to just go through a rough spot smiling and sometimes it really knocks the wind out of us. But what we do during or after is what makes all the difference in the world. During our journeys we need to remember there is others watching how we handle things. We can be the only sunshine someone has when they are down. The same mouth that praises God or a friend is also the same one that could curse them. I do understand getting frustrated especially when none of us have money to throw away. But the commandment "Thou shall not murder doesn't just mean the body" We don't ever intend to but the words we say about someone can murder their spirit. And we never know if what we say will find it's way back to the person they are about. This is more a lesson for me than any of you.

Thanks for letting me come in and help and I must thank all the ladies who came forward and helped before I got here and the ones who came forth after. May God bless Mike also and he come back better for what he has been thru. I do not believe Mike would ever do this on purpose. He is not a thief or a con. But a man whom hit a very rough patch in his life and it just happened. May the Lord bless each one of you as he has blessed me with each of you. Group hug Group hug Group hug Group hug

I've, as of yet, not gotten into any of these co-ops (simply cause I don't yet understand how they work), but I just took the time to read through this entire thread and I must say, ATP has GOT to have one of the best communities I've ever come across online.

It impresses me greatly and makes me even more happy to have found this site.


Edit: to Hetty and Sandy...I know it ain't much, but I hope the acorns I'm about to share with the two of you brings some good to you for the good you have done here.
