Dave, what a wonderfully thoughtful repponse to the woman who is slaving over your diary. And how wonderful that you want to share it with people. I for one can't wait to read it. I started writing during the summer (2006) when I was unemployed for the first time. I had time on my hands, and started to write about some of the things I began to recall about my stuttering experiences. I have fanciful ideas of someday writing a book, and including my "stories of me" that I have called them. It indeed seems we have a lot in common, at least with the desire to share the stuttering experience. One of the reflections I wrote about seems so silly, but to a person who stutters, it has meaning. I used to love to play bingo, going with my grandmother frequently. But I was always petrified of actually winning - I was afraid if I actually had to yell "bingo" it would come out stuttered, and I didn't want to be embarassed. So I didn't want to win! Strange, and I only remembered that recently. P.S. I loved your wife's comment, where you added that you "approved" of her message. -- Pam
