I met Molly at SUUSI. We were in a workshop together. We hit it off because she used to live in Northern VA and feels my pain (I don't really fit in up here). She also has 2 beautiful daughters close in age to mine. A few days after the hippie camp thread started the light bulb went off... she had seen me post on this group before and knew the name "Daria". It was just another thing we had in common (totally a SMALL WORLD).
I misread her last post and thought she was saying our Hippie Camp thread wasn't funny and so she wasn't posting to it. This seemed so odd to me because I actually thought the UU jokes were hysterical and thought she would too. I'm glad she cleared it up. She really isn't square or anything... she just needs to warm up to us.
Come on Molly.. .join the party.

Hi Molly! Welcome! You are Gene's daughter's namesake, so you're OK
in our book. Were you named after a dog too? Did you and Daria know
to look for each other because you met on the UU yahoo group or
whatever? That's cool! I'm a little confused though--is UU Christian
or not? What's the difference between a "purely Christian" UU church
and one that isn't? Like others here I'm not very familiar with this
whole thing. Thanks!
