Guess my thread locked Monday, when I was in San Diego. Not sure why Still and Sunny kept it a secret. Way behind on journaling, so will try to catch up on that later. Also, want to respond to Sven's post (and others) on my last thread, and I will later. Finally, I need to get back into some of y'all's sitches. I have been following most of my friends, just haven't posted much. Also need to check in on some of these newbies. Hope everyone is doing well!
Onward and upward, Nomopo

"I do not see any hope of you changing and us being happy together."
