      Big hugs to you miss lady!!! Hope all is well. I know you're not cold down there, so I won't worry. I tried seroquil and it didn't help me much, but others have lots of good results with it. Take care, and walk on the beach for me, please. Love Tinder

      From Jonesen October 10

      Hi Deb. I'm here finally to give you a well deserved hug. I see you're takin' Seroquel from your status. I've taken that before too when they thought I was bi-polar. Turns out I was just on a straight 5 yr drunk 'n drug binge so my personality was a TAD bit altered. HA! I really can't recall how it affected me 'cause I was on 6 others at the same time. I hope you are feeling good sweety. I'm doin' just fine. Love, Jonesen
