WHEW!! Alice, you are still here!!

I have always felt that this disorder we share DEMANDS that we "stick together". We have enough trouble standing up for ourselves when we see our neuros, pulmos, gps, etc. -- "fighting among the troops" is just unacceptable.

Alice, YOU did NOTHING to bring this on. It has happened before -- and I am sad to say that it will probably happen again. I don't know if we can blame it on "roid rage" or jealousy or just plain ole bad manners.

The first time or two that this happened to ME, I did feel sort of vulnerable and insecure. NO MORE. I REFUSE to let ONE person (or a couple of people) with "issues" "steer the rudder of my boat". Alice, I hope that someone who is as highly regarded as you are can SEE that what has happened is just NOT RIGHT!!

By and large, this is a FINE group of people -- VERY SMART -- VERY GROUNDED -- VERY KIND -- VERY GENEROUS -- VERY COMPASSIONATE. Do NOT DOUBT yourselves!!

Ok, end of sermon. (Have I told you all that my brother is a preacher?? LOL)
