Hi Dinah,
Thanks for the post to Poppi regarding her rudeness, but I thought I _was_ civil. I really didn't intend to put her down in my replies- I just think anyone so judgmental probably does have some anger issues and should be reminded that the purpose of the forum is to HELP one another.
It wasn't that my feelings were hurt, it was wondering what kind of effect Poppi's post might have on others who are on disability. Plus the fact that I go by the rule that if your post won't help or seek help- then don't post. I do not apologize for anything I said to Poppi, as I think I am right, but I'll try to tone down my indignation in the future if it's breaking the rules. I just want to help and be helped, not be put down.
Thanks again for your help and I'll try to be less...um....outspoken?
Regards,
Caper
