Thank You, Mobileread!!

I just got the automated e-mail wishing me a happy birthday. It's actually tomorrow (July 27), but I suspect that it was sent at Eastern time zone (I'm in the Pacific.)

It could be considered kinda blasé, I guess to some people, but it almost made me cry. I just almost broke up with my GF and my "brother" keeps asking me when my B-day is because he forgot. I was feeling somewhat down, and this unexpected automated e-mail from people I've never met really touched me.

Thanks again and I really like the new site design. I was away for a bit during the changeover, but it looks great and flows easily.

POL9A,
Glad that worked out so well! We've all been through enough of those tough times to know that something simple like that can be very meaningful. Hang in there. It's good to have you here in the MobileRead community!

P.S. I'll gladly say a prayer for you that the clouds roll away! Take care.
