Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Little , sorry, I didn't see any negative post from dj. I saw the one from rab. Not a nice one at all, either of them in my mind, but not dj. I hope there was a mistake as the only one I saw from dj was a more positive one. I hope you are feeling better . My heart goes out to you. Stay strong and get the help you need to get through this crisis. Gentle hugs and positive thought. Tammi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 , dear, you are confused. You sent me a nice private reply. It was RAB on his damned Verizon Wireless Blackberry that sent that awful comment. All I said was that I couldn't think of a reply at first, and that I thought what Angie said to you was very good advice. I also like what said to you. I've already replied to your private post. I just don't want the whole group to think I did something wrong, cause I didn't.
