You guys and gals are killin' me here! Are you trying to make me cry or what? lol... Of course, they would be/are happy tears! This thread has got to be one of the sweetest things!!! I am very honored to receive such recognition from you all and I am very lucky to have you all in my life - albeit over the internet for some of you.

I sure am glad I checked this today!
I do want to clarify that one main reason I do not ask for help is because I almost never practice so I am not very consistent in my pool playing. So, that said, I would not feel right accepting help from anyone because I don't think it would be a fair thing to do. I am sure you all understand that. 
Again, THANK YOU ALL for the kind words. I really appreciate them more than you know.
Peace,
Amanda
