"Sometimes we do get good news."

Actually there is quite a bit that gets posted. If you are not already on Calpernia, or Straight Vermonter's ping lists you might want to ask to get put on. They both post and ping to a lot of encouraging and informative articles.

I give them a 6.5 for irony.
I really stopped counting these buggers a few years back.
Not very sporting, you know.

(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
Since you left me and you said goodbye
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
All I do is sit and cry
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
You went away and left me misery
(I'm in pieces, bits and pieces)
And that's the way it'll always be
