[Viva] replies re. running for the Board of Positive Living BC

[Mary Smith]

* *Hi Denise!  It was good to see you today.  I looked around after I met
him and couldn't see you.  I guess I was nervous.

In regards to running, I appreciate so much what you do however I don't get
involved because of the situation with my kids.  If My ex-daughter in law
found out, I am sure she wouldn't let me see the grand kiddies again.  I
don't want this to happen, especially when I will only have a couple more
years with them before they will be too busy with their friends.  Maybe when
it is out in the open, I will consider running.

It was great to have the support of you and Karen today.  It was super to
meet her.  Thank you for setting it up.

If you could e-mail Dr. Montanner or the other doctor to call me before 9:30
on Mon. or Tues. that would be so great.  If you hear back from them,
forward it to me so I know where I stand.

Big hugs, Mary
xo

PS The man I met was very nice and we had a good conversation but I had so
spark.  The next relationship I have, I want that to definitely be there.
It is time I had some great sex.  lol
