Beautifully said. You are one of my favorte heroes! ((((((((Xi))))))
The reason I wrote what I did is because I hate to see people (especially those who are just different treated in a mean way, especially when that person doesn't have a malice bone in thier body) There is a woman on the old group that is being treated in a hateful way because she is annoying. And they all gang up on her like she is the most evil person to ever walk the earth, Yet I have not seen an ounce of malice come from this particular woman, Yet I have seen malice come from the ones doing the attacking. Its just an odd theme amongst groupies I guess! On Jan 12, 9:46 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > (((((Mercury))))) > > Thank you very much for being here with us.
