Thanks for the recommendations.<br /><br />And I'm so glad you liked the Planet of the Apes movie - I'd see it anyways but your review just makes me want it more.<br /><br />Have a good weekend Alex. <br /><br />......dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-71530797399639377882011-08-18T22:26:22.877-04:002011-08-18T22:26:22.877-04:00Most of the things you plan turn out being pretty ...Most of the things you plan turn out being pretty awesome, Alex, so I'm sure it would work out.Matthew MacNishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03264738483763244969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-65046444543207803442011-08-18T20:45:08.969-04:002011-08-18T20:45:08.969-04:00where booze/drugs fail, a kissy-faced mauling by y...where booze/drugs fail, a kissy-faced mauling by your dog is almost as good as encouragement from fellow strugglers... gopher it, alex<br /><br />is there a link? rusty and i wanna know!laughingwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873675614347328116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-67952465861270259232011-08-18T17:30:38.074-04:002011-08-18T17:30:38.074-04:00Thanks, everyone!

Everyone always thinks "I'm the only one" but seeing others who have the same fears, doubts, and concerns as you is always a help at least to me..not only that but having a fresh pair of eyes is always a good thing. Sometimes you just need to talk it out to see what was right in front of you the whole time. You are super awesomeness!!
