1. Hi, Retro!!
:hi:

I went right from a meeting to a screening of Sicko tonight. Definitely a weird mixture, but rather appealing in its way - like pickles and peanut butter. Movie and meeting were both inspiring.

Now which is the pickles and which the peanut butter?;)

8. Hi Retro,
I know that feeling.

This group is great, especially when you can't make it to
a meeting.

Even thought we "technically" aren't a meeting, it's a great
place to come for fellowship and sobrietal ( I just made that word up)
reenforcement.

:hi: :hug:
