Marianne, Don't worry about it Marianne, I am ok. Isn't the first time and won't be the last. I have big shoulders....well not really, I'm not a big person (LOL). Sometimes I should just do my business and keep my mouth shut anyway. Just I have been feeling much better this week and getting carried away at the mouth again, need to limit what I say. Enough said, the more I try to straighten things out the more I mess up at the mouth....been there & done that. JEAN

Quote of the week: "Learn from the mistakes of others........ You can't live long enough to make them all yourself"

Again...don't take this personally...I feel responsible here...and I only asked Jean because I thought about what you said and wanted to make sure I'm not crossing lines....saying things offensively that I didn't mean to. It's all my fault!!!!! I took too much personal offense to one line of "Give me a break"...we all nitpick...it's just better to keep it to ourselves and I'm sorry I've started this. I feel I put Jean in the middle now...again...I just am not wanting to be offensive...over-needy...over anything. I'm sorry Jean and I'm sorry Karla. --- mm.hammond@att.net wrote: > Since when does trying to offer support become
