[FRIAM] FriAM is dead! Long live FriAM

[Gillian Densmore]

Thanks Steve! I do agree that as far as I can tell what ever I was doing
before was basicaly a constant solve the imediate issue thing. I hope your
right in that maybe now I'm wanting to move at more steady pace, and also
get a much more long term thing going.
Oh like I'm in a walking group. I've only shown up once, so maybie give
another go? *shrug* your possibly also right that their is a sense of
urgency mixed with: well I'm as was said in the hobbit: 'Well prserved'  so
that might be contributing to: ok ok  If I'm going to oh as a concrete
example: ok ok if I want to at least try a more coloful clothing and have
fun with that then I real should do so a little faster then not, I am a
little imaptaint for health because I sort of feel it's silly to let health
concerns drag out for to long.

Thanks for the advice I genuinely appreciate it!
