Hi Laurie

Glad to here you're doing a bit better :). Seems like you've had quite a torrid time of it.

Does your new forum job mean I can't mention the "M" word any more? You know the one, I'm sure you remember it ;D
Sorry I haven't been around much, I don't like to here of you hurting, so a big hug from across the pond to make up for it.

Peace and love and all that good stuff,

Sadie

Hi Sadie,

  I hope you know I miss you when you aren't around. Glad to see you around.
As for that word goes you are welcome to use any word you want as long as it meets the TOS. LOL Besides I think I am immune to it now. Too much exposure to the real world as myself.

  Yeah, I've been having my ups and downs recently and I can tell you it sucks. Sadly I am sure there are more to come.

Hope to see you around more.

Hugs,
    Laurie

 Thank you yet again Tommie.

Yesterday was a better day, in fact it was a pretty good day.

   I got a call yesterday evening from a nephew we seldom hear from let alone see. He ask ed what's been happening and I answered hesitantly that I was trying to become his aunt. I explained things to him and one of his comments was that now some things about me made sense. He said I have always appeared as a masculine man but that there was something wrong. I always came across as angry and was never very open when talking to him. He said that this conversation with him was the most open and animated I have ever been when talking with him. He seemed happy for me and very accepting. He said he was proud that I was doing what I need to do to be happy.. Yes, there was ocular leakage. I'm going to be dehydrated from all the tears I've been crying these last couple of weeks.

  Yes, Yesterday was a pretty good day.

Hugs,
   Laurie

Thank You little sister. Isn't it strange how we have the same day for our birthday. Just think how much money and time Mom saved over the years recycling presents and parties between us. How she managed to keep it secret from us I'll never know.
  I hope you have a wonderful HAPPY Birthday too Kendra.

Hugs,

Yes, it was Michelle. I have no idea who is responsible for them but I really do appreciate it. They touched me when I needed it and Hopefully I'm done with feel bad  for awhile. And they smell good too. Purple is my favorite color for roses too. All the flowers are so pretty. :) :)

Well, never been called a "goff" before. Don't know if I should be complimented or offended. I guess I'll be complifended.

But the important thing is: Birthday Flowers! Woo!
