I truly believed Mayor Robinson when he said "This is not a done deal" last week, but after the council meeting and the article in the Bowie Blade, I believe he lied and I will never believe him again. As for St. James Reps, their body language gave them away. When the subjects were getting tense the one person ( I won't call him a gentleman) chewed his gum very fast and the female that came in late and added nothing to the meeting, twisted her long hair very fast. In all of my professional training these signs were NO NOs. No red suits?

My primary goal of forming this group, is to give all of us sufferers a feeling of belonging. SoRead More many people feel like they have no where, and no one to turn to, and I want to be that person and provide a group that can offer a pick-me-up throughout the day, or something to look forward to mid-week. So far, I have had 3 people reach out to me which is wonderful, however, I would like to have at least 5 people for our first meeting. I look forward to hearing from YOU soon! ~Cheers, Brittany
