Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 Hello! I used to be a member of this group under m_w_p1996, and this was the place where I originally posted my poem " My Lupus Prayer " . I was very surprised this week to find my own poem forwarded to me from a friend in an email. Though flattered, I was disappointed to find my name had been removed as author. Knowing that this is the place I posted my work originally, and therefore the sharing of it was begun from here, I have come back to ask that when sharing my work please attribute it to me. I do not mind sharing at all, just please be sure my name is along with my work. In the lupies archives, my original post was message # 66762, dated 11/14/02. Hello to all my old Lupies friends, and prayers for the friends and families of those we have lost in the past couple of years. I am living with my lupus much better now and still maintain a full time job, though I have had more auto immune disorder dx's since I left this group. Thank you for your time!
