    • About Me

      If I show up as "online" but I don't answer you, it's probably because I left my computer on and walked away... or Tia is on my lap where my keyboard should be. :-)............................................................................................................... OK Kids, look at my pics... this is what Emo REALLY is (Emo Phillips, look it up)... My name is Julie, my husband is Dale, the black dog in the picture is ours (Tia), and the other dog is Tia's best friend, Ginger.

I don't want to portray myself as a victim of sexual abuse, for instance, because thank god I was not... but I do have an understanding of the emotions involved.
