This story is not meant to be disrespectful to Police Officers as a whole. Just those who lie, fail to admit errors (being human), or are downright nasty to people out of their own bitterness and frustration. . . . more

Well, I've always kept my aticles on a private webpage just so I would always have them....but this is more practical now with all the changes made on Gather....I'm still not up to speed on how to use everything....I'm pretty much a slow learner in some areas!
thanks for reading and commenting...I always appreciate your input..

Neil, thank you so much for reaching out and giving me some comfort. I need all I can get right now! I pride myself on strength of will, but things have been so uncertain for so long now that it seems like my head will explode. It's so good to hear people reach out to each other and try to help in such a selfish world.
