CHAT - Sharon Re: Just because I CAN!

[Guest guest]

Hi -

Hey, whatever I can do to help is fine <G>. I don't mind repeating

myselg, either...heck, with a group this large it's almost like you

have to repeat stuff all the time simply because there are so many

people with so many issues.

That's why I was actually (surprisingly!) kind of quiet on that

first day (Thursday) of the convention, just because all of the

parents and kids, with afew exceptions, had melded into one, big RSS

Family Thing...so until I started figuring out who was who, I kind

of kept to myself.

And I'm sure it's the same for everyone else too...people probably

remember me for my sense of humor and now, possibly the gray hair

and/or being the oldest RSS " kid " there, but I don't expect them to

remember that I wasn't diagnosed until I was 15, or that I had no

treatment, or whatever...so that stuff HAS to be repeated from time

to time. I just hope I don't repeat myself TOO much!
