Wow, you deserve a big applause for this!!!!  What a hard working person you are and you deserve every bit of it, Lora. 

I was at Bed, Bath and Beyond on Saturday and saw a new car just like the one you are buying except in a gun metal grey.  It was beautiful.  The lines of the car are gorgeous and it's one awesome looking vehicle.  I have always been into cars as I came from a family of car fanatics, including my Mom and Dad.  I was raised in the military and lived in France so the love of foreign cars was a given with three older brothers and 2 were into race car driving for years.

So even though I drive a German made car, good for you and congrats, Lora!  Can't wait to see pics of the car.  Jane

Sure... it is on the use of writing (and on the attendant cognitive processes) in the treatment of PTSD.

I am utterly weary of thinking about it at this point, but I appreciate people's interest.  Once I have a few days to "detox" and NOT think about it, I will provide some info.

YAY about the car...great news!!

 

Congrats on the dissertation.  The process is long and arduous...  BTDT!!   I remind my students all the time, "a good dissertation is a done dissertation."     They rarely believe me until they are done!!

Yes... and, as my undergrad Honors Thesis advisor once told me (knowing that I tend to be a perfectionist about papers and other coursework), "sometimes good enough has to be".
