APOLOGIES

[barbaranoela]

I am here to apologize for my rudeness---
Knowing that U are all here to help me ,I shouldnt have spoken as I did--
When I am frustrated, as usual I just *spew* and then later on I regret sounding like a monster from the streets of NOO YAWK--

I said the same to Lynn----Kait has been thru some serious surgery again---so I assume U have to give her time to get past this disturbance to her brain----and time will take care of that--

I just dont understand why I dont have the right words for Lynn---

Thank U all for understanding me---
Thats a big help--
luv Barbara

Barbara..when were you rude?...I missed it, ha ha. You can say anything you want here, well almost....vent away kiddo....you are safe to express your feelings with us....hang in there...Love, JJ

Hogwash!!!!! You are not rude and this is your place to vent - we know it and understand it. In heavens name, when were you ever rude?

I'm with the others - WHERE can you vent if not here!!!

You have NEVER been rude, dear lady.

You need to let the negative feelings out somewhere and this is a better place to do it than others I can think of. Lou would probably feel better if he had someplace to "vent" instead of taking it out on you. I'm sure he feels bad afterward but most men are like that, I believe. My husband certainly is and he'd NEVER admit that he feels bad about it either, but I know he does - at least some of the time -

Love, Shirley

Barbara,

Don't be silly, I do the SAME thing.. I rant and rave about stuff.. some days when things happen that I don't like, I'll go off about absolutely anything I can!!!! It's a way to vent and get out my feelings.. those feelings are only going to rot inside you if you don't get them out, and what better place to do it, where you *won't hurt anyone's feelings*.. you have every reason in the world to be angry, frustrated, and hurt by all of the things you've had to deal with lately.. from Lou's heart to Kait's head.. it's been a LONG road for you and hopefully soon you'll get a *mental vacation* from the stress..

Here's hoping this is the LAST medical fiasco you have to endure for a LONG time..

Love,
Christine

Don't be silly. You don't know how to be rude. I mean that. You are one of the most diplomatic people I have ever met. And that's the truth.

Love,

Polly

Barb,

You were not rude and you should vent your anger. This is a good place to do that! You need to get the feelings out! When you turn them inward, that's when you get depressed.

As far as having the right words for Lynn....I think what you said was good. Being there for her is going to help her, she knows you love her. I'm not sure there are the "right words." I certainly would be at a loss.

Love, Kathy

I read about the surgery and then I read this. I failed to find any rudeness. You AND Louieeee are doing what you need to do - get it out of your system - or else you'll I don't think there is any right or wrong way to vent...just do what you need to.

Love you,
Cuz'n

[Umber]

I fully agree with everything said! You can come here and get things off your chest, and don't worry about it!

Love Lori

Oh, Barbara - I completely missed the rudeness too I kind of like it when people aren't "correct" all the time; it makes you so wonderfully human. Thank you.

Love,
Karen
