Thank you for your reply, rockhound. I am sorry but, I didn't remember
reading anything about you. Only of me and some of the others. I can't go
back and read it again because I usually clean up my newsreader's post
everyday. Maybe I shouldn't. That is the disadvantage of doing that.
I just want you to know that it isn't my AA or my fellowship. Maybe you
should try something else, other than AA?
I don't think that you are not nice at all. I guess I am really having a
hard time understanding your post at times.
LOL..Thank goodness for sunglasses.
I was a smart ass when I post about you. I am sorry and will try to take
time to read what you are posting.
All the Best,
Gail
