Hi Again,

Sorry this will just be short because we are falling asleep tired after a fuller than usual day. Thanks for all the sharing you all did. D Q does stand for dairy queen for sure and yum that sounds good right now. Most of the time we are not even that much of a drama queen, but when we finally get to talk it is so good to just let go and say whatever I wish to say.

You know I know someone wants to keep this group, when we chat, for 13 and up. I seem to remember someone 13 spoke up. I hate to exclude her. Sadly, no matter how graphic our discussion gets I'm pretty sure she will be in the know already. I doubt she was allowed to keep the kind of innocense you are wanting to protect. I think I would maybe say anyone under 12. Feel free to speak up if you all see it differently. I just don't want to exclude someone who maybe needs a chance to be with others. It is one of the many things that makes me angry about the abusers I encountered - they ruthlessly stripped away innocence and "all things bright and beautiful".

I'm really glad so many of us spoke up. This was a fabulous idea Cool Vicki!!!!! Keep on talking anyone who wishes to be heard. bye,

Leah and DQ
