I hope I make a good mom! And I hope you're right...that I'll get to be one some day SOON!
My friends here make such a HUGE difference! I feel so lucky to have them here! Being the people person that I am...staying at home is NOT for me! LOL I was going stir-crazy in our little apartment! So now I use my energy up to go out and just make myself happy. We're low on money...but at least my spirits are high! That'll help me fight whatever I have best...and hopefully work will come soon (no replies to my ad as a tutor yet).
I can't thank you enough for your support and all your "yay"s! They make me want to jump up and dance! LOL
Thanks Kree!
Love, Ruchie

You are SO RIGHT! Practise does make perfect! I try very hard to remind myself of this when I long for a baby of my own...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But you just keep reminding me and I'll be able to focus on this a little better for next time!
I hope things are well with you suzyq! (Love your name btw! It's adorable!)
Love ya back

Bev,
I don't know what I'd do without you! Between your graphics, sense of humor, and yippe yays...no one can stand to be sad around you! You have such a gift for making others feel GREAT about themselves and their world. Thanks for sharing it with all of us (especially me!)
Thanks for being SO happy for me and for caring the way you do!
Love, Your BIGGEST FAN!

Thanks so much Mags! Telling me I'll make a great mom some day is the biggest compliment anyone can pay me! I hope I will...
How are the wedding plans? How's everything else in your life? How are your funky socks?
*hugs*

Hi, Ruchie,
Glad you're feeling better! Overeaters Anonymous is a twelve step program. Check the white pages for a listing. If you can't find it there, look for a listing for Alcoholics Anonymous, or for Al Anon, which is the program for friends and families of alcoholics. They often have information on other twelve step programs. I can highly recommend them based on my own personal experience and that of friends and family. It not only has saved my life, it has improved my quality of life to a level of serenity and happiness I never dreamed possible before.
What they do is help people overcome the compulsive need to overeat or drink or gamble or whatever by working what's called the Twelve Steps in meetings that are kind of like support groups. There is no fee or cost and no requirements or rules. They have lots of helpful literature and information. The main message is you don't have to do it alone -- there are lots of people there who have successfully overcome the same problem and are willing to share their experience, strength and hope (much like this board!)
Let me know if you find a listing locally. They may also be on the internet -- just do a search. Bless you and thanks for your kind words.
-------------------- Laura
Keep it simple!
