silver_queen,

Thanks for *hugs*-- they are always OK with me. It's strange for never getting them as a child- I can receive them fine as an adult- just have a hard time giving them out sometimes. (not sure why?? might stem from feeling inferior) Also, thanks for your kind words- I appreciate it very much.

Gee, I'm starting to feel whiney... like I just wanted attention....
I wish I could express my thoughts without feeling so guilty. I wonder if I'll ever get there....

I thank you all for your replies.--- Mandy
