Hi Brenda,
Thanks for the pep talk, but trust me I'm a cocky
tenacious young lady and have never been shy about
speaking my mind, even as a VERY small child. VERY
often I'm on the side of not knowing when to shut up
.. something I'm working on.
I don't eat out with my co-workers not because I'm
afraid of ridicule but because I don't like to eat
food I haven't prepared myself. I don't trust
restaurants to be as picky about their ingredients as
I am. Sorry my paragraph you quoted gave the wrong
impression of me. :)
Luv,
Debby
San Jose, CA
