Guest guest Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Hi Pamela, I don't know a lot about Meryl's experience, but I do know that most people going to CT in NJ are very happy. My daughter wore a starband, but I've been a member of this group (and now a moderator) for over 3 yrs, so have heard lots of stories. It sounds like Meryl is having problems and I hope they are resolved quickly. I am going to respond to her post too - but just wanted to mention you may be misreading things. -christine sydney, 3.5 yrs, starband grad > >> > > >> > There are times when you go to work and feel as though you have one of > >> those thankless jobs.
