I understand, Barb. Sometimes people just let things out when they have a bad time and it comes across wrong to others. Been there...done that. I didn't take offense to your message, though.

I'm sorry things haven't been great w/ past b'day greeting experiences. Maybe it'll get better as time goes on.
I'm doing okay..just really busy with other stuff, and working on the fic when I can. Glad to hear Kyle is well.
