PupDaddy asked in an earlier thread - where is the love? Well, today seems to have been a yucky day for a lot of folks - we have had a thread (now removed) that was upsetting and stressful for some people, a lot of us are still feeling very depressed re: the aftermath of Katrina, etc., and I think we all could use some cheering up.
So, I am handing out some love in the form of a "mental care package". It goes out to PupDaddy and anyone and everyone else who could use a lift. Feel free to add anything you want to it.

I will start by putting in a copy of one of my fave books ever - "Carter Beats the Devil" - so that you can sit down and get lost in another world whenever you need to escape this one for a few minutes.
I also throw in the full collection of CDs by Ozomatli, so that you can shut the blinds, turn up the music and dance out whatever is troubling you.
Definitely some chocolate, whatever your favorite kind is...
Definitely some adult beverages, whatever your favorite kind is...
Some good hot soup to warm you up inside.
A good well-broken in pair of cowboy boots - nothing will ever feel better on your feet and at least ONE part of you will feel good.
Some bottled puppy breath, to be inhaled for theraputic purposes.
A long hot bath, even for the guys.
A ride in a convertible on a beautiful day, with your favorite song on the radio.
A pair of jeans that look AND feel good, even on your fattest fat day.
A hug, a shoulder to cry on, and an ear to b***h into.
