GH your post has made me finally face the fact that yes, I was the first WAS, long before her. Mine was subtle, over the years, hers was dramatic in the space of a week or two.
Would she have been WAS if I hadn't been first? I doubt it. I don't feel so good any more about revelling in the role of LBS. What an a**hole I've been.
Your posting has made me examine myself with more humility, and less self-satisfaction, and I will rededicate myself to making up for all the crap I laid on that girl, and on myself.
