Hmmm...good point. I really hadn't thought of that. Would it make things better if I said "jenny is feeling..." instead of "I am feeling...?" I'm very sorry to have made you feel uncomfortable in any way. I wasn't really myself last night, but I know that is no excuse. I'm going to try really really hard to not post when I feel badly. Again, I'm extremely sorry for my behaviour. Did I mention I'm not too good at this social thing? :o) I'll do whatever I need to do to not post anything negative ever again...I will get rid of the keyboard if need be. I admire you for being able to exhibit self-control. Starting right now, I will do my very best to not post anything when I'm in despair. thank-you for the insight
