RIGHT that's it.

I wanna point out how many people have replied to threads of people in need here. I've just been watching and in the space of five mins these threads are already filling up with support messages and I just want it noted for the record that people on here do give a damn and do do their utmost to help others.

We've had a few people through the week asking why we concentrate so much on 'fun' threads and I just want this acknowledged too before that starts again as it inevitably will. Look and learn people....

Thanks arch. It should be pointed out to those who comment on the fun threads as you outlined above that some people prefer to send hugs and/or private messages rather than replying to a thread as well. You're correct. People do care.

I'm with you Lynn, most of the time, if I feel I can say something of worth, I send a hug or pmseems much more personal than posting on the board.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
