Comments are short comments related to what has been posted or what someone else has already commented on. Comments are done at the blog site in the comment form, by clicking on "comment".

All comments and posts are subject to approval by COWG Blog Administrator and Committee Chairs Board. They reserve the right to reject or edit any post they feel is not appropriate or in the best interest of the goals and spirit of the group as a whole.

The new site looks great! And I want to thank you for including my website- when I saw my name, it was like the first time I was published: "Ohhhh, that's me!" Warmed my heart; & I hope it will be an encouragement to many. Again kudos for the site & thanks from me,
