When I was battling through the disease in it's fullest the last thing I wanted to hear was things like "There will be a light at the end of the tunnel" or "There's plenty of fish in the sea". That made me feel so much worse. So I figured others might feel the same way, hence the subheading. Also humor seemed to get my attention, particularly dry sarcastic humor. I was in no mood for jokes, but something not serious or too heavy would be okay. Colors are good too. This is the most colorful thing I've done to date. And I think it works well.

I'll let you know what the class opinion is tomorrow.
