I don't have a unique way of feeling bad. I have several. Like say if I'm physically sick, that's one way. Or if I see a baby bird that has fallen from its nest, that's another way. Or when my knee ligaments are basically gone, but Dr. Sarno insists I ignore the pain and just run over it, that's another way. Or when I read Adder's posts that are full of grammar errors and typos, knowing that he is disrespecting the sense of quality posting that Flower wants, that's another way. But I always feel good when I come here and see you and Flower starting up another fascinating exchange. The two of always make me forget about all my feeling bad; you guys
always turn my frowns upside down!
