Jenn,
Smack,Smack. Now Jenn you seem like a wonderful person with a lot to offer
someone. Dreams are wonderful (more people this day and time need them it
would be a much nicer place to live) you keep having them and never settle
for less. I did twice in my life b/c I felt exactly the way you do. I'm 30
and have just found in Marty what I dreamed of a partner to share my life
with. I can't have children and that's okay with him and believe me that
took alot of pressure off of me and made me feel like I wasn't damaged
goods. I feel alot better about myself lately. The time will come for you
also. Even if you have left the forum you look me up when that day comes. I
will not say I told you so I'll just congratulate you that's all. Okay.
I am glad you were not offended and understand your point of view also. It
was just me I often wonder if I would of gotten that way, But I was a good
girl so so much for that.
I'm glad the cataflam is helping. I took them so long now I can't remember
if I ever got sleepy or not. I do remember I rested better at night. Take
care hope I haven't talked your ear off.
Hugs,
Becca
