Ginger Hunnnnnyyyy!!!
I am SO SO happy to see a post from you!!! I miss you and Theresa SO much!
You're right...the board has changed quite a bit....it has become very intense at
times, but can still be informative for me! Next time the two of you get together
for a chat..please, let me know!
About you're post....I can only imagine that these girls were not in the class
that you spoke about PCOS in. Regardless, I say...give them the information &
tell them to pass it on to their roomy...you will be helping someone!! And,
although it may not happen, you may open their eyes to the fact that there is much
more to YOU than there is to their gossipy selves....you actually CARE about
others. I remember a post from a long time ago about some of us seeing women on
the streets or other places who we knew we struggling with PCOS and they probably
didn't know it....point is...I would want to know and I would hope that someone as
caring as you would help to fill me in.
Take Care, Hun & Hope to hear from you again!!!!
:-) Alexis
