He is such an inspiration and a hero to us all, let's hope he receives the help he so desperately needs.

I have missed the Mental Illness thread and the wonderful people sharing their experiences. I know that I got a lot of comfort and support from it.
I know privacy is important but Groups can tend to fizz out and become stale with limited posters. Just my thoughts.

I am glad to read that ten teeny... and you are right, the private threads tend to lost impetus because it requires going into another part of eBay and sometimes we would prefer just to hit the thread here while we are ready others.

Someone only has to start the thread and I'm sure it would take off.  

Maybe you could begin it?  You don't have to do more than just explain that you have started a thread if anyone is interested.  I know you would be treated with respect

Another hot day for you purple? We have been lucky here so far (shouldn't speak too soon) South Coast NSW. We haven't had any extreme temps in Jan, last year we had a couple 45+.  The weather has been quite poor really for anyone having a summer holiday around here.

You can come to Melbourne tomorrow it is going to be 41deg

You worded that so much better than I did Darkie.
I knew stale was the wrong word!

I'm not sure either. It was good while it was there but it can leave people very vulnerable.

He has also tried so hard to deny his sexual reference too.

You know I meant preference.

[cherry*135]

What is it?

[azureline**]

well, no, I didn't, reference is a real word. I did suspect you meant preference.

but whatever you do, don't google it!
