Re: Newbie
Hi Dan, Welcome!
There are some great folks here with a wealth of knowledge. Never get discouraged with your treatment and anytime if you are having difficulties or questions or ask.
I have found the vast majority of folks very helpful and patient. I found that if there is any question to which response might work, go with the one that most folks agree upon. A lot of issues boil down to trial and error, however, the help from the members can narrow down the possibilities for you.
Good luck with your therapy!

And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Welcome to the forum, Dan!!
Just in case you missed seeing it, there's a great thread circulating, called "Where a newbie should start," and you can access it via this link: viewtopic/t35702/Where-a-newbie-should-start.html. It's jam-packed with info, including what Ozij referenced in her post. There's LOTS to learn, and many here with LOTS of experience who are very happy to answer questions, make suggestions, etc. We even have some fun once in a while. Glad to have you aboard.
