A few days ago you wondered about how I could be so open about some things. Now you know. Around here it is easy to be open and to disclose your thoughts and emotions. Maybe it is just the PM making you open up, releasing those inhibitions that would normally keep such stuff under wraps.

Could be... I do find that being able to talk about it, even anonymously, is a huge therapeutic relief... though I'm not so sure that its the sort of thing that others reading would want to know about.

I sometimes wonder what the women who use all the other sections on this website think of us lot in here. We have this lovely little enclave, this little haven of help and comfort and friendship and good manners, and we just seem to tick along very nicely.

That's why I'm still here! I do appreciate having nice people like you to talk to, especially ones who are "walking the walk"

PS thought you might be amused to see what I looked like 36 years ago!
