Just wanted to say thanks for your encourgaement and tactfullness that you portray over, & over again.

You have a way of relaying what you want to say without being rude or judgemental.

Thank you for being you!

I second Janice's sentiments, Doug64.

Although we women are represented in great numbers on this forum, it's been my observation that we are uniquely blessed with some extremely fine gentlemen who participate... Doug64, you're certainly one who's at the top of the list... I don't want to leave anyone out, but we all know who you are. Reg, Jerry, tke316, all of the rest of you guys... You've all been a huge help to me and to so many others here.

May the Lord bless you and keep all of you... We appreciate you more than we can articulate!

Thank you for loving even us crazy ones!!:p

You're speaking just of you and me, aren't you, Maggie?! ;) :D :)

Love,

Mary

Oh, Maggie, let me interpose: it's just I!!! - I've said enough crazy things on here -- I don't want to even joke about this! (It wasn't funny, anyway.)

I'm the only one here who's, you know, a bit "off!" :D

(The last thing I would ever want to do here is add discomfort or unease or hurt. Or to tease... No, my last post was all in fun and I apologize, Maggie, if it can be seen as anything else... I do so very much appreciate your posts! :) :) :) )

Love,

mary

OH PLEASE!!!!

For one thing, I like teasing! In my family if someone's not teasing you, no one likes you!:D And for another, I thought it was hilarious! I was referring to ME being the crazy one and whom ever hopped on that bandwagon with me! Please don't ever apologize! I dish stuff out on here, I can take it. I think teasing (in fun) keeps us humble!;) :D :cool:

I love you, Mary! You don't ever have to worry about hurting or offending me!:) :p

[mary]

I love you, too, Maggie! I just -- oh, it's a holdover from my home, where there were 5 of us kids, 7 years apart from oldest (me) to the baby (my only sister)... And it was acceptable for everyone to tease except me; I was supposed to be the "quasi-parent" to the others, but I often messed up... And I'm very sensitive about not ever hurting anyone, especially not on this forum where everyone has had it up to their eyeballs already with the Christians they can see, not those in cyberspace with whom they choose to associate! Um, that, I'm sure goes for you, me, everyone... :)

Thanks for being so kind, Maggie! You're a dear!
