Hi all,
 
XXX, read the post Mary sent:

In NO WAY, is this an excuse for the MF mag.  being late.  And its
downright shameful for you to try to make it sound like one.  She just
wanted to tell all her friends on the fml that her husband has to go to the
hospital and she wants us to keep him in our thoughts and prayers.  She
asked a simple thing of us, and you turned it towards yourself and made it
into a big 'poor me' mess.  If you have a heart, you will just leave them
alone, they need our support right now, not flames.  A few months ago, on a
Oprah Winfrey show, they talked about self-centeredness, attacking other
peoples reputations and gaining control by doing so to feed your own ego,
being fed by fear, and I think you got plenty of it.  So while you are
having your self-centered 'tantrums' leave Mary and Eric out of it.
 
Enough said.
 
Heidi - Who wishes many Bright Blessings for Mary & Eric
