RE: Platitudes .. and other blunders

[Guest guest]

Once again Sally, very well said. We are all bound to feel

differently depending on what stage we are dealing with. That is

the beauty of the group. I can relate well to what you have

written. I have sat many a night at my computor and cried at others

stories, knowing that someday, I will walk that same path. I also

took comfort that I wouldn't have to do it alone because, I have all

of you who have gone before me. Have a good day.

here read and weep at the prospect of how bad things might get.

Sally,

To me, nothing you said sounded insincere. I say amen to all you are

saying and said.

Sally, I have never thought you were insincere, and I don't recall you

quoting any platitudes. I feel really horrible to think that I what I

said might have upset you. I apologize. I should go back to lurk mode

only. I seem to be trying to fill my mouth with both feet, here lately.

Sorry, sorry, sorry,

Deborah

Deborah,

Do not go back to the lurk mode!!!! I think if you said something

thats Ok and people can write back and clarify and that is ok. Blunders

are ok if that is what it was.

I just know that Sally could not say anything bad if she tried. Please

do not do this to yourself. We are writing on flat paper and it does

not have much demention. We will clear it up and go on.

I think the best thing we can all remember is that we are all trying to help

each other because we all care about each other. I think that is one of the

things I like about this group is that we can vent, we can give ideas and

opinions. The readers have the choice to take the information and do what we

like with it.
