Thanks Ll, that was good of you spending the time to write this, and I am reading , and hearing.
Moostly I am just so tired, I don't like some of my thots.
But i am busily stowing it all away, so it'll be OK.
I am OK, always am. My mantra.
Since you started this list, mebbe I will add to it good things too.
But later , I am tired.
Mebbe I can start a 10 thread. Thats always good.
Ll, you a good friend.
