Hi Dinah. Can I just say that I think that Dr. Bob made an excellant choice In choosing you to watch the farm during his absence. You have an uncanny ability to put into words what people are thinking. you have a level head despite whatever stresses you ,personally, are experiencing.For example, when we were speaking to "Dreamer" about her brother, I was at a loss for words after sticking my nose in her business---but you calmly tip-toed thru the minefield and defused a delicate subject matter. You are so wise! are you sure you're not a closet therapist who does this for practice? By the way, I hope that i didn't offend anyone last night. Have you ever wished that you had thought twice about a post? It's just that Gabbi was so down that i was saturating the screen with humor( however distasteful) in response--maybe that's my coping tool. Anyway, you've got my vote...bobby

Thanks for the lovely compliments Bobby. But I gotta admit, if you think I always keep a level head, you just haven't been around long enough. Just check the archives. :)
And I also must admit that Dr. Bob didn't exactly choose me. See what happened was, Dr. Bob asked for volunteers. Everyone else stuck their hands in their pockets, and whistling, took a step back. And voila. I volunteered!
No, I'm just being silly again. I just volunteered.
Yes, there have been countless times I wish I could take back a post. I'll bet most of us have. In fact there's a name several of us use for it. Babblers remorse. And I certainly understood your intent, and so did Gabbi, I'm sure. It was kind of you. You just hadn't read Dr. Bob's guidelines yet. Up at the top of the page.
Again, thanks.
Dinah
