There are evil people, period, in the world. There are also some very wonderful people. Everyone who knows me seems to like me a lot, especially children. I'm like the pied piper. All the neighborhood kids come to my house for Tampico and other drinks and I always have treats and goodies for them. I genuinely am interested in them. I relate more to children than I do to adults in part because of this very thing.

Everyone else on this forum can express their feelings and thoughts and get attaboys and ((hugs)), I get ridiculed and called names and treated like I'm some kind of villian. I don't know how many of you watched that movie around Christmas with Natalie Portman, Sarah Jessica Parker and Dianne Keaton where one of her sons was gay and brought his boyfriend home, and Sarah Jessica Parker came to meet the parents of her prospective husband? If you didn't see it, I totally related to the character portrayed by SJP. That's me. She was basically a wonderful person, but was villified by the supposed open minded liberal family she had come to meet.

I feel that this "family" or "club" or "sisterhood" has voted and I just received the black ball. You seem to think anyone who folds to your belief system is a wonderful person.

I have friends and acquaintences who are many, many flavors of humanity. My home has always been a haven for the homeless and I've on more than one occasion taken care of and fed, drug addicts off the street with no where to go. Not once did I consider one of these dear people as any less than myself.

You will never understand me. No amount of "clarification" or writing until I have writer's cramps, will ever help you to know me and that is your loss, because I AM all that and more.

Just like the poor hapless individuals peering into this mess, I'm leaving the forum to Celtic and Po and Casey (love you Casey!) and Gimster (sorry you think I'm a 'bad' Christian to be apologized for, Gim), hope you all work out your issues.

I hope to find a discussion group of truly accepting and open ladies who will love you no matter what your beliefs.
