Guest guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Thanks, Chrism, When I said that you 'advised' us not to tell our families about the K, I meant just that: advice, a suggested course of action...I'm sorry if it appears that I meant you 'ordered' us not to tell our families. I certainly don't want the newbies to think you lay out rules by which we must live, LOL!! As I said, I agree with that suggestion because my parents definitely would not understand and would likely worry about me. SO......I will use the health/dietary idea...I used to have major problems with diarrhea (in fact, I had a bout with that the last time I visited them), so I can say that it is a way of cleansing and balancing my digestive system. Will you please elaborate on your first paragraph? How will honestly be important 'as avenues of experience and interaction begin to blossom?' What do you mean? Thank you, Love, Claudia --- chrism <> wrote: > Yes Claudia honesty is very important and as you > progress further > it will become more and more so as avenues of > experience and > interaction begin to blossom. > > It isn't an order to not tell your family.
