Hi Everyone,

Thank you all so much for your comments and advice. I guess this post is the result of my low self-esteem, which several people have pointed out to me lately. I guess it’s hard to change something that developed at such an early age and was constantly confirmed by the fact that my male persona was never really accepted as a “man”; at least my interpretation of what a man needed to be. Now my male persona is gone, thank God , but this particular quality remains since it never really was based on gender identification I guess. I only hope that the old saying, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” doesn’t pertain to human behavior patterns as well, so that, with the help of such good friends as all of you, I may be able to change the attitude I exhibit to others.

After all, I would never dress up then go out without a wig and makeup, that would be rediculess, so deception is part of the process by which we live. Regardless, the avatar stays, because you, as usual, were right, it does reflect the Denise I feel inside, pretty, happy, even younger. The next time it is my turn to post pictures, I will post the ones that make me look hot and sexy , only not quite so big. OMG, it’s like looking at my face on a movie screen; still need to learn about this “reducing” thing; too big, too big.

Again, thank you all for your support, maybe one of these days I can grow up to be a real adult like the rest of you. But keep in mind, Denise is only 4 weeks old. I will celebrate my birthday on November 10th for the rest of my life, regardless of whether Tamara Croft changes it on this forum.

I really love you all so much, respect and admire what you all do each day, and have undying graditude for being lucky enought to know you all.
Denise
