mego replied to Hopeworks Foundation's discussion Hopeworks Foundation - seeking stories"uh, naw, I didn't say that + I was only addressing you, from myself (I am not more than one person, brain injury, or not.) nor did I tell you much of any kind of story at all... well, apparently I was just mistaken.
