Where did you learn about BetterMost?

Oh Elaine....another BIG welcome to our 'safe place' I KNOW that sharing our thoughts and feelings with one another can and WILL give us insight into this sociological phenomenon that we call our 'obsession' Hopefully we can learn from each other. I'm not too sure how long this constant...gut wrenching feeling will last. The ODD thing is....I'm not sure I want to get rid of it. I DO know that this story will sit in my heart...forever!! And yes....lost loves..buried emotions....all those vestiges of our humanity....dug up and laid bare!! The gutted SHEEP....so significant. The warm arms that we long to have around us....the SHIRTS!! It's unbelievable what deep deep significant memories this movie has wrung out of us. The aloneness in our older years that we DREAD....ENNIS and his closet!! This movie is DEFINITELY NOT just a gay insight....it has affected MANY of us who have love in our hearts. I find myself steering away from those 'friends' who just don't 'get it'. I'm offended if they broach the subject and ridicule me for my feelings. We older gals have so many more memories that we've compiled over the years.
I'm so glad you've found us...and that we've found YOU!! We'll travel up our 'mountain' together and we WILL reach the top....together!!

I saw it listed on the imdb message site. I only lurked over there, but at 11 viewings I am a huge fan of this amazing work of art and I think the purpose of this board is wonderful.

Thanks for the nice comments and welcome. Be sure to vote in the BBM Radio Poll. I will be refining the playlist in the weeks ahead based on everyone's recommendations.

Hi Lynne. I am very glad you chose to speak up over here even if you lurk over there. :)
I look forward to reading your thoughts and comments on the issues we bring up here in the days and weeks to come. Oscar weekend is this week. The challenge to keep us all together post-Oscars really starts soon....
