Guest guest Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 That was great, I certainly remember being told that all the time or it being the other way around.Where my Nada acted as if I was keeping score of her vs. my father (+ everyone else in my life) on a star chart like we have in kindergarten. I feel like I've been surrounded by people who keep a list of peoples wrongs and rights, I notice myself doing it too when it comes to those I know very well or I avoid too many people all together because it's too much for me to think about. I need to stop letting this happen. Done keeping score! ________________________________ To: WTOAdultChildren1 Sent: Friday, August 19, 2011 12:24 PM Subject: Re: permanent record  Thank you for sharing your beautiful idea.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 For Nada there is a permanent record. Remember that time.... You should choreograph a dance sequence of KO kids. Jazz interpretation of Welcome to Oz! Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 HA doug - I'm doing something just like that. My dance studio is named The Rubber Room and in our first costumes we are ghosts wrapped in chains. recovering KOs think alike! > ** > > > > For Nada there is a permanent record. > > Remember that time.... > > You should choreograph a dance sequence of KO kids.
