Hey Sphinct, I'm so glad your aunt is okay! And, it's great that you can draw comfort from the stories on this board. I'm so thankful for the people who've logged their experiences here. The thing to remember is that most people do seem to get healed and leave after awhile.
And yes Bumbutt, that's a car in the river! It's a Thomas Kinkade parody....I love it too, it's a great metaphor for my life right now. Kinkade's paintings are way too syrupy for me anyway...if you google Kinkade parodies it's worth a laugh...cottages on fire, run-down mobile homes surrounded by beautful landscapes...
Speaking of low temps...on my way to my appointment yesterday, the city where I was headed had had an ice storm the night before. The drive there was very treacherous and most of the city's stoplights weren't working...but after my appointment, the sun came out and the ice-coated trees were so sparkly and stunningly beautiful...beat that Kinkade!
