Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Thanks, Shell, for your invitation back to the group. As ANYONE who knows me can tell you, I have stuck my foot in my mouth too many times (and had to apologize) for me to not recognize and accept your gracious apology. And yes, I've got a very off-beat sense of humor that sometimes gets misinterpreted. Then it all got escalated so quickly that I notice that for me, at least, it was hard to get some perspective on all the emotions flying around. It's especially hard to understand subtle stuff in a non-visual context like this one. I hope that your apology has lowered the temperature for all concerned. I didn't even know this group was here until the problems with the Richmond program came up. I joined because I wanted to lend my voice to help settle that situation. I think we WLS-ers need each other, and we can't support our own if we alienate programs like Richmond. I also didn't want Steve Brook, another hard-working RN, to feel ganged- up-on when he's doing his very best and is devoted to that program. I hope that fence can be mended over time. Now the truth is, I'm on a lot of lists, and I'm going away on Wednesday to a convention, so I won't be posting a lot here. But I am glad to be here, and hope that everybody will kiss and make up but no sloppy wet ones, okay? Ick, cooties. I'm baaaaaaaack...

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 I wanted to also mention that Martha and I talked and are fine with each other. People say hurtful things when emotions run high .Its easy to be hurtful when your with a group of people who are also being hurtful. It is much much harder to work something out with someone ,to each look at what your part was, to apoligies to each other and move on. Im so glad with me and Martha at least we could be real grown ups here! Thanks Chickie Shell > > Thanks, Shell, for your invitation back to the group.
