Hey Trash, when I first read this, I thought you hadn't told your CHURCH friends you used to play bunko. All I could think, is that must have been some more bunko group. Except for one isolated mooning event, our group has been pretty CALM!!! I think it is best, except for people you know will support you to make up your own mind and then just announce it. That way, it is harder to tell you why you SHOULDN'T do it. I didn't want it spreading through the neigborhood, I just wanted them to know so that if they had any questions they would ask me instead of feeling like it was off limits. This way, I also have 12 ladies out there with the real story. You know how neighborhoods are! But it was a lot like when I met Tony, I didn't care what anyone thought of him and now the surgery, this was MY decision and I knew it was a good one! I was right then, and I am now too! Have a good one!
