I am so glad you enjoyed reading my article. Thank you for taking the time to write your comments. Gosh, if I could just figure out a way to get people in the family to read it but I have a feeling they don't dare check this site.

It's funny, I can tell by the way you write that you and I probably are quite similar people. It's funny how the family attracted people like us. Now I look back and wonder, "How on earth could I have joined, being the person I am?" Live and learn, I guess.

I am working for a real estate attorney right now. He's got a huge law firm here in Atlanta. It's amazing to me what lawyers do. You think they are always litigating against people but that's such a small part of it. My boss hasn't been in court in 10 years. I see what he does and what his partners do for a living and I know in my heart I am smart enough and dedicated enough to be able to do what they do, but I can't because I spent 14 years of my life litnessing and having babies instead of finishing college and going to law school. The four of them earn $650,000 a year. EACH. But I have to say I am very thankful for my life. There are so many things about it that are wonderful. I just can't help thinking what could have been if I had not been hijacked, or rather, been stupid enough to get caught in the COG spider's web. I sympathise with the folks on MovingOn.org who I've heard don't have too much patience for people who actually chose to join. We were crazy enough to join - by choice. Those poor kids got born into it. They must want to kill someone.
