FloridTreasure, glad to hear from you. Hope your daughter is home by now or very soon. Glad you found some worthwhile people and useful resources here. But don't take the trolling too personally. Helen Peterman is so well known around here, I'm guessing they just didn't consider that you'd take that seriously. Just a fopaux, not vicious move.
But never mind all that. Thank YOU for listening to your gut, seeing through the malarkey and helping to raise a hew and cry. Whenever someone comes around on this issue and joins the faithful opposition, another angel gets their wings. Or kitten is spared, if you don't like the God reference. But I don't care much for cats. I think those Florida lizards are pertty cool, though... and who could hate them?
So, ok, another cool florida lizard wins his daring gambit, being the last to race accross the steaming sidewalk right between the bike tires w/o losing his nerve or his tail. Naturally, he gets the female too. So thanks, Florida Treasure, from all of us as well as those cool lizards.
Seriously. Just cause I'm being silly doesn't mean I don't care. I really do sleep better the more people see and understand our problem here. That's one less kid who will suffer in silence with their parents turned against them, plus anyone you influence. I deeply apreciate it more than I can tell you and at least as much as anything we've done for you.
If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for a reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
