		<description>First of all, CONGRATULATIONS for getting out of your comfort zone. Stutter or no stutter, this is something people are scared to do.

Second of all, thanks for the story, I enjoyed it very much. Touching, funny, informative, and so well said. BRAVO!

When going out to a party or any other function, how about wearing a name tag that says: &quot;Hi, my name is Daniele and I stutter.&quot; Now THERE&#039;S a conversation starter for ya! 

Because I think the problem with most people being somewhat &quot;different&quot; is that it makes the rest of the people nervous or embarrassed. They will try to make believe they don&#039;t notice or they just plain won&#039;t know how to act or react. So by putting it out in the open, you&#039;ll help everyone relax, they&#039;ll know you&#039;re okay with it, that you&#039;re totally relaxed and can even joke about it.

And a VERY interesting topic for conversation would be the fact that you have this great website. I mean, geez Daniele...this place is so cool!

Hope to meet you one day, dear friend :-)

Big hugs and lots of LOVE,
Mudd a.k.a. Oza
