I've been mostly away for awhile, but fun to touch base and see what is going on in this thread. I'm glad to see the biting ("joking" ha) has subsided. You people are all such supportive, positive people, even when you pretend not to be.
Laurie, I'm looking forward to your trip, whenever it happens (as long as it's not after July 3, when I have my own trip). Moni, good luck with the surgery anticipation.
Getting out in the world, lady, you are doing it! Yes, terrifying, but as Michelle says, most people really aren't paying attention to you. I've had the same feeling, and nobody has yet said a word.
