This forum belies that stereotype; here are some of the kindest, most giving people I've ever encountered. Glad you're here, too.
You know...you are so right! There are so many kind and compassionate people in this forum. I have not encountered that in the outside world. Maybe we are the healthy ones...just not a part of the norm....so, the label is placed on us because we are the minority. Definately food for thought! Thank you for your reply!
