  1. Good morning and huge hugs. I had to delete the post where you messaged due to a typo and re-enter it. I would have sent the hug to you through your message but it won’t allow me to access it as I had deleted the post. Huge hugs!!

              1. Good morning, Don! I don’t plan on being online today. Tomorrow is my birthday and to celebrate, I’ve begun a process I promised myself I would do. I will be writing a post about this process and why I am doing what I am. This requires some time to myself, because it is very emotional for me. Have a good day!!! xx

              1. I really mean it, Don. You touched my heart. To know I now have a friend like you, as well as others, in my life, brings me at times to the point of weeping. So many for so long have pushed me away due to me being different. I rejoice to see that my different-ness is being appreciated here at Petals. Bless you!!! (((HUGS))) Amy

              1. She is untamable. Just wild. She comes and goes I never knowing when she shows up. She showed up at the dentist office today. The man almost got kicked in the head. As it is, he got slapped by her. I am definitely changing dentists!!!

              1. Oh, Don, do NOT get me going on that subject. I could write a book. I refuse to be pushed around by the medical prof. I say NO NO NO do NOT touch me! I’ve gone through hell and back with doctors, just take my word on that one. I’ve learned to say NO and to be heard when I say NO.
