I have been really busy, and have just caught up with the list for the last week or so. I am greatly saddened by what is happening. The FML is a good place, and many great people have given me good advice. Please lets turn this around before it gets any more out of control- Don't give attention to the idiots on this list-in every forum there are people who are very unhappy with themselves, and feel a need to share that with everyone. Maybe try to feel sad for those people, and if they need to be unhappy, let them do that by themselves. I challenge everyone to come up with at least one funny story about their baby, and share it- Lets turn this around now!!! Avoid giving any attention to the negative- even negative reinforcement is reinforcement, and some people thrive on that- they are not able4 to handle being positive. They need to go to their rooms and tantrum by themselves, and when they are ready to join the rest of us, they may come out. Most people on this list love ferrets- just because they may not love them the way you deem appropriate, does not mean they are not trying to better themselves, and their ferts. The old adage-- You catch more flies with honey... Gerri [Posted in FML issue 3336]
