          LOL. I'm not offended or anything - I DO have bad handwriting, especially for a girl. All the other girls I know have gorgeous handwriting. Oh well.

          I'm sorry about your mood swings and anxiety. Let me know what comes of the appt. I'm here for you, friend.

      I agree completely. Sometimes I feel like I'm "dumbing down" as I get older. LOL. Then again, I think in some ways I'm much more mature than I was at 16.... well, there are somethings that may never change, lol.

      thanks

      I just love this part: "Life is a gift, don't send it back"

      Too bad I didn't read this every day since the day I wrote it. LOL
