I love this place more than anything. Will never stop posting or checking in daily. I was thinking BBOD is prob one of the only businesses actually thriving in this time. I just saw a commercial with Carl D promoting BBOD.

Instead of saying "ha - told you so", I just said "well, hope you're able to find what you're looking for.....".

On the flip side, I've been cleaning out some of my fitness equipment and boy! Now is the time to sell! Especially weights -- with people not finding them in stores (sold out?!), my listings have sold quickly. (This was last week, before the SIP order.)

So very true!!

The support and sense of normalcy I am feeling here is just so very heartwarming and encouraging...thank you so much everyone!!

Yes, I am also thankful for the support of this wonderful group! This has always been a great place, but now it's even better since it's offering a way to connect with others virtually when face to face contact is seriously limited.

annette, I always had the same sense when I tell people I work out at home that it can't possibly be as "good" as working out at a gym. Good for you for resisting the temptation to be snarky.

Yes, I agree! I always feel better after coming here.

I love her too much to be snarky.

I didn't say before, so will now, I've always enjoyed coming to VF and have learned so much from all the knowledgeable folks here. When I started I had never heard of the Firm or Cathe. Now they are two of my favorites. So thanks everyone!!

While I don't normally post (I've grown to be incredibly shy as the years go by and find myself preferring to be in the background) this forum is still one I have read regularly and loved for the last 18 years and being a part of this community, despite me being awful at contributing, provides a lot of comfort during this stressful time. Thankful that VF is here!

I agree that VF has been a wonderful resource. I don't post a lot, but I check in at least once almost every day.

I'm particularly grateful for it during this crisis. I've been worried for awhile and no one I know in person has seemed particularly concerned until the last few days. The folks on here have made me feel a little less alone and nervous. Thank you.
