hello Kiley,
welcome back to the land of pad and, to this list! we were wondering
where you had been! but, I know things happen in our lives and, we
need to take a break with this list as I had to do a couple of years
due to personal issues in my life.
also, thanks for your feedback on this topic and, also your views on
being a actress even though you are in community theatre. I like your
views and, your thoughts on this topic and, i'm glad that you brought
that thread in your lives into this topic. take care and, I will talk
to you soon!
hugs,
amy
