have been sitting here crying, smiling, and laughing

This is a phenomenal website. I have some very close
friends with JRA who would benefit from this site
immensely' -C.C.
'This
site has been my life line...through thick and thin.
Sometimes I have opened this site feeling like it is
the end of the world and after being on line for a
