First, I would like to thank everyone that took the time to respond. Well, I had a chance to discuss this matter with her and she said "no, you know how I feel about this." Then she went on to say, " I will be out of town that weekend and you can do whatever you want". Yeah right, this is the type of thing Kerri mentioned.

Deb and Janice, yes I am a charter Lurker of the gems and I was hoping to make teh DressBarn event and Cindy's dinner Friday night. I have met Cindy S and Dianna in male form before, but that is the closest I have gotten to going out.

Thanks everyone for your wisdom and kind words.
