OCD is a topic of great concern with one relative in my birth family, I am thrilled to meet someone who is also fascinated now as an adult, by bugs (we have tons of them here in North Florida, Natalie!) & I want to thank you Natalie for your work in middle school. Finally, welcome to the Group Blog new blogger Eileen.
