Hi Bev,

Welcome to DLV!

I'm Kumiko Watanabe, in my 50s and from Hawaii.
Been attending DLV for several years. You've probably
seen some of my emails in the dlvdisc. I kinda have meet
Kynthia this way this year, in this discussion group, and by
mistake, using a very bad word and didn't know it as such.

DLV is perfect for beginners. That is how I started getting
out of the closet/hotel room and into going and doing things
in public or what we call mainstream. Its a great way to meet
others like us and develop good friendships, and as a group
help each other get the confidence each of needs, to develop
and improve this part of our life, and enjoy the journey.

You may not see me, for I'll be only attending the last
few days of DLV from that thursday.

- Kumiko

Hi Everyone,

I am really excited and anxiously awaiting DLV again. This will be year
4 for me; hoping to renew old acquaintences.

My name used to be Columbia 'Coli' Wildman. I have found my rationale
for picking that particular name no longer relevant. My new name, as you
can see is Antarie 'Tarie' Starr, but friends, please use whichever you
are comfortable. On Facebook, look for me under my old name. I am 62,
recognized about 5-6 years ago that I am TG and love being a feminine,
and my wife and I live productive, happy lives in southern Utah.

Code that I live by: Always speak the truth. Stand up for what you
believe. Be true to yourself. Never...ever...ever give up. [I didn't
invent this, simply fits as a description of who I am.]

Dear LeAnna and Jamie,

Please forgive my weak, lackluster response to your kind offer to make
contact with me at DIVA; this is my first one, and I'm nervous - don't
quite know how to act yet. I think I may have gotten my vibrator button
tangled up with the mouse cord on my P.C., and when I hit "Reply", I
thought I was back out on the street again, and that silly "sounds like
a deal" response popped up! Of course I would like to meet you both and
will, no doubt about it, need all the friends I can make. I will seek
you out and introduce myself to you.

If you would just like to write me back and hold my hand, I would sure
'nuff' appreciate that too! See you soon.

Best regards,

Cynthia
