That is why she rides so smoothly when you are driving. She knows to go with the flow and not try to adjust her balance as you lean into turns.

Here are the two wheels from Roketa parts catalog. They have different numbers so I don't know if they can be interchanged or not. So I post them both for you to decide.

Well, glad some were able to hear the ticking. All I get are the Photobucket sign in sheets when I use the links provided or even when clicking on the photo of the scooter dash or the house. I have no connection to the sounds. It should be available from the link and not any further manipulation should be needed.

It seems that once upon a time I was able to post pics on this forum without needing to join photobucket to see them. So what has happened here?

You were close. But it was based on a religious groups activities, not just a religion itself. It was not AA at first but some time later a rich guy we called Mr Bill got interested started to set up AA. It has developed since then to what it is today. And as I remember the program it was not attached to any religion but did have ideas about prayers and meditation and being charitable. Especially for helping others that had addiction problems.

Origins

The origins of Alcoholics Anonymous can be traced to the Oxford Group, a religious movement popular in the United States and Europe in the early 20th century. Members of the Oxford Group practiced a formula of self-improvement by performing self-inventory, admitting wrongs, making amends, using prayer and meditation, and carrying the message to others.

In the early 1930s, a well-to-do Rhode Islander, Rowland H., visited the noted Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung for help with his alcoholism. Jung determined that Rowland’s case was medically hopeless, and that he could only find relief through a vital spiritual experience. Jung directed him to the Oxford Group.

Rowland later introduced fellow Vermonter Edwin (“Ebby”) T. to the group, and the two men along with several others were finally able to keep from drinking by practicing the Oxford Group principles.

One of Ebby’s schoolmate friends from Vermont, and a drinking buddy, was Bill W. Ebby sought out his old friend at his home at 182 Clinton Street in Brooklyn, New York, to carry the message of hope.

Bill W. had been a golden boy on Wall Street, enjoying success and power as a stockbroker, but his promising career had been ruined by continuous and chronic alcoholism. Now, approaching 39 years of age, he was learning that his problem was hopeless, progressive, and irreversible. He had sought medical treatment at Towns Hospital in Manhattan, but he was still drinking.

Bill was, at first, unconvinced by Ebby’s story of transformation and the claims of the Oxford Group. But in December 1934, after again landing in Towns hospital for treatment, Bill underwent a powerful spiritual experience unlike any he had ever known. His depression and despair were lifted, and he felt free and at peace. Bill stopped drinking, and worked the rest of his life to bring that freedom and peace to other alcoholics. The roots of Alcoholics Anonymous were planted.

I guess I don't agree with this problem at all. It is an opportunity for people to find a comfort zone of your own. It could be just thinking internally about what has happened and what can be done. Nothing about invisible beings at all. It is what seems to make any person have a place to go mentally and find comfort. Not a religious thing at all. For me I would never have stayed with AA at all if it was just more church stuff. I guess I just wore out with that religious stuff while growing up. My parents took us all to church every Sunday. There were several ministers in our family over the years, until my generation appeared. By the end of my high school years I had broken from the family tradition and still have as little to do with the churches as I can. I just hate all that glitter and pomp that goes with most of the churches or the fanaticism of some of the churches.

Oh well. For me AA just was not part of the religious stuff but others could see it their way too.

I believe that we did open and close with a prayer, but that could be the choice of the leader for that meeting as to whether it was religious or one of the daily prayers about better living.

I don't remember her story right now. Terrilee just went into custody in March? For how long? I don't think it was too long, like 6 months to a year maybe. I hope things pass fast for this mandated hold.
