Sarah, One more thing, sorry I was thinking about you this morning as I was reading. The first message I sent you yesterday was not in any way to have an aggressive feel or tone toward those who "Fill in words", rather I expressed those thoughts in order to educate and help you (and I) possess a sense of compassion and kindness towards those people who lack the knowledge about stuttering and about who we are. If we can find compassion and kindness for people who are: denying our stuttering (by filling in our words) or ignorant of what stuttering is and who we are, then we develop the skills to communicate our needs and who we are to them, so they CAN become comfortable. Does that make sense? Sorry for the rambling, I was reading about "aggression, denial, and ignorance" this morning realized how much those thoughts tie into ourselves and listeners. Thanks again! Have a great day! Scott
