Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 John, God you made me laugh! I'm so glad to learn that you don't wear a collar and *leash*!!!!!!!!!!! Your hair sounds great too! I'm glad that you didn't decide to *conform* and become someone that you're not so that you could make life easiest for yourself. We may be in the minority, but we are the ones who don't go with the flo, but think about what WE really want for ourselves and if that means breaking out and not conforming then all the better! I'm a vegan and have very strong views about animal welfare, the environment etc, and I love nothing more than to wear *hippy* style silver jewellry and let my hair flow loose and curly, but my husband is a Conservative Party member and I can't dress the wear I love to when I go to Conservative functions. But don't worry I'm learning not to give in to this. I am who I am and the way I look reflects my personality. Don't worry folks, I'm not heading for the blue rinse, twinset and pearls! My husband hates minorities but I like to be different. I'm not a minority, I'm me. Long live the animals!!!!!!!
