I don't who has said what Ronni, and it's probably not for me to know. There's absolutely nothing wrong with telling someone how what they said or did made you feel, though. It doesn't always mean that person is going to listen, but it sometimes helps. I do hope you'll be able to do that, too. (I have confidence that you would do a marvelous job with hosting this round of Secret Santa, but to be fair it's going to have to be the first volunteer.)
Just from what I've read on this ng, I see a fun-loving, creative, talented, intelligent, motivated, determined woman. Look what you did with your photography class! Came back after missing, if I remember right, the first
2 weeks of class, and now you're top of the class. Plus having your photos in the open house! That is truly amazing!!You can come to Little Rock whenever you want, and I'll be here to see ya and give you great big squishie hugs!
