[Guest guest]

I wish I could contact the people that agreed to participate in the

skit and slap them silly! I will also send an e-mail and voice my

disgust; thanks for the info on where to go.

I would like to know if you get to see it and what you think of it.

I hope you are doing well and I would like to hear an update on you

too!!!! We are all here to support and cheer each other on and I

know you are doing excellent!!!!

Keep in touch!

on watching, but may tape it to see the skit you referred to.

breakdown of shows with links to the individual email. I will send

frustrating that they can still getaway with this. But in this day of

email, I always try to respond to discrimination in their face !!!

won't care, but I won't sit back anymore.

Francisco passed an ordinance last week making it illegal to

discriminate against anyone based on weight or height. Now to see how

they handle actual cases!!!

and I haven't even seen the show yet....(LOL)
