---------ARGH!!
I'll probably get in trouble for this but I'm so tired of clicks! why didn't you just put the people's names in your post that you wanted to reply back to you??-- that way those of us that did reply- that weren't acknowledged won't wonder why we weren't and then we won't feel ignored. argh......It's apparent that you only care to hear from certain people-- perhaps those that you already know?..... but jeez! how can one get known if others don't acknowledge they even took the effort to respond?
this has hit me at a bad time -- I'm sorry for being so forward....... I... I .... just can't take not being heard over and over and over and over..... argh!!..... story of my life......
go ahead and delete me--
banish me-- whatever..........flutterby- mandy
