This is a really friendly and EASY place to be w/ the warmest folks on the web. Before anyone leaves for good- I advise them to simply depart for a day or 2 as a cooling-off period first- and then reconsider. Because if the drama and issues here are too big a burden- I can't imagine any finer comfort or friendliness being found elsewhere. We boast it all the time- and it's true; we've got a huge table here- we all have arms wide-open and we enjoy welcoming everyone. Take a chair there by the fan and grab yourself a tall glass of iced tea... cool off and calm down. Anyone will soon feel better being here after a dose of what the world throws their way. That's just my two cents...

I'd be the first one to admit that a couple of my "cheap shots" at Dilbert were out of line and quite ill-bred. But I was really ticked off by his "cheap shots" which were also uncalled for! But that's no excuse to sink to the same level! I apologize to one and all for my poor response to that...........
just don't pick on those I like and respect. "Talking down" to people is the provence of ignorant and insecure people!! Several others also rose to the occasion..... far better than I did - and with a great deal more class. My family rolled on the floor over the definition of ex-spert!!

and to think that all this has come to be because of something so damn stupid - spammers
that is why I said - ignore their posts, do not respond, I'll delete, and if I miss any - just let me know and I will get it
it's the best for us all

Quick correction, Mama - You're THE BEST for us all!! Have a good night and may tomorrow be a better one than today. Who said it - "Yesterday's history, tomorow's mystery and today's a gift - that's why they call it the present!" Hope you have a gift tomorrow! Katie

Thanx Katie - I sure can use one - even a small one - I'm not greedy.
