I feel I need to apologize for a posting that I made over the weekend.  In
the Friday list there was a story repeated by a fellow reader and ferret
lover.  I found it hilarious and felt inspired to share my amusement.  From
the responses I have received from other members of this list I was not the
only one that found the "tale" fairy, opps I mean fairly, humorous.  In no
way did I intend to imply that the writer of the "tale" was making it up.
On the contrary, I firmly believe that the writer believed every single zip
ed de do da word.  Sorry, for some reason Pinochio came to mind there.  You
know how it is when a good fairy tale gets stuck in your head.  Anyway, I
am off the subject.  I received a heart felt email from the writer and she
explained that she was told the story and found it very credible.  After
all, using her own words to me, "I have seen and heard some pretty
incredible things about naive and stupid people.  I put nothing past
anyone."  I think that pretty much sums it all up.
 
In conclusion, I want to say again, I can only apologize for submitting
anything that would be, and I quote again, "rude, hurtful and just plain
UNNECESSARY.  This is the reason I left in the first place - too much
bashing going on.  VERY RUDE AND VERY NASTY." I personally did not find
anything that I wrote any of the adjectives listed above but then again,
I actually have a sense of humor and I manage to leave the house
occasionally.
 
I must say that I admire her determination and love/devotion to the
ferrets.  I can only applaud that in anyone.  I have intentionally left
her name out of this to avoid further "embarrassment".  Thank you
 
ps. anyone have any idea what the hairy heck "tell me another western"
could mean?
