Ooooooo @Queenie all the best for tomorrow! That's huge. So excited for you.
Thanks for popping in @Faith-and-Hope and @Zoe7
@Kurra your research sounds really interesting! I'm looking at both, basically I'm interested any daily practices that's related to the online digital environment and mental illness. It would be nice to pop in from time to time, but will need to look into Sane's policy. It might disruptive to return for some members so will need to make sure that this all thought out too.
I'm so cold at the moment. We got down to minus 3 this week in the Blue Mountains! How's everyone else's neck of the woods?

Yes, @Shaz51, @Former-Member, raising my glass to the future Dr @CherryBomb!
Really interesting subject for a PhD, Cherry. Seems like it could take in all sorts of uses of media to give voice to people with mental illness. SANE has certainly given me a voice about my mental illness over the past couple of years (in addition to the voice I have found for myself in video-making and sharing on social media). Wishing you continued fascination with your subject.

**cheers to you @Shaz51 ** Definitely going to need to visit the gym soon.
@Former-Member please ask away. I hope I can answer some of the questions.
@Former-Member this might be a silly question, but did you know understand the rules before your kids started playing? My partner has tried to teach me, but it just goes over my head. It's pretty much a reflection with what I'm like with most sports. A ball gets passed to me and it literally flies over my head. LOL

Lol @CherryBomb. My ex husband was a high level hockey player and I never knew the rules to that even though I went to lots of his games. It took the love of my kids to actually care enough to learn rules........and the competitive part of me that I couldn't know less than my kids 😂

Hi @Shaz51
According to the weather page, the outside temperature here is about 12 degrees. That's cold for this neck of the woods. But I'm having hot flashes tonight so the temperature in me is a bit harder to pin down.
