I just wanted to pop over and thank you for your help in the thread. I've always enjoyed having you on the blog.

Don't get me wrong. Sexy is fun and good...but I did and still do resent the loss of "credibility" when I realized that my credibility centered around being a pretty young girl in a "man's world," and quit playing. The GM plant days taught me a great deal. Ultimately, I believe I did gain respect and credibility through my own initiative and work ethic, but the memories still rankle, a quarter century later.
