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? [Posted in FML issue 2810]
