    oft / offed

     I have oft wondered who offed JFK.

    Good to see you ladies again!!

    I left BCO when they changed (wrecked) the format of the boards. I was so upset about how they did that without caring what we thought about it, and it really felt like this wasn't "our" space any more. Now I am back, thought, because I am getting a DIEP, and I need the support of my BCO sisters again.
