Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Hi folks...Just thought it was my turn to give my two cents on this subject since it seems to be ongoing...Of course I am not going to make it off topic for obvious reasons, but here is my take on it. I totally agree that what was said was not nice. No one with fibro would have thought it was funny. But, for every joke there is a butt of the joke. Fibro was the butt of this bit of humor. Nice or not, humor is used in TV every day, and I am sure that we are not the only group of people who have been offended and outraged by something said on TV. In my personal opinion, I am far more outraged by uncaring individuals in the medical community that are supposed to be helping but instead are doubting this disease. Actors can claim ignorance and lack of education. Doctors cannot. It is my opinion that you can wait forever for an apology from Tyne Daly...you will be waiting awhile. Your other option is to turn this energy into something positive. Why does energy always have to be on a negitive topic? There are a gizzilion positive things you can do! Send a thank you card to a doc who really listened and cared...If you feel well enough, volunteer somewhere for a few hours...Email Keebler and tell them how good their cookies are! Have a good day and keep your face to the sun! Missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Hear hear Missy! Excellent advice!
