Although I know nothing of what went on to lead up to this, I agree with what Lilac Tree just said.  Life is short and we can't let ourselves be bothered by the petty things that people say on shopping boards.  I hope she is back posting soon.

LilacTree, it was so nice to see your post. I did not know of Dan's wifes passing until  I read your post. My heart breaks for Dan and his daughters. Please continue to post here with us LilacTree. You are so much needed and appreciated  here.

I haven't been posting or reading much lately and I just saw this thread. You can see from all the responses how well liked you are on this forum by many woman, and at least 1 guy!  

=^..^=

My best to you,

However, I do wish to thank all of you who have said such kind things to me.  I want you to know how much I appreciate all of you.  You did not have to do what you have done. 

I do realize I have many friends here who are sensitive, mature women.  I feel very lucky.  Thank you.

I'm glad you came back. I understand that taking breaks from posting is necessary, too.

If that ever happens again, here's some good responses to try.

Random Poster: *says something mean*

Respond with the Following:

"Lol, cool story, bro. Here's a smiley."

"You seem like you have a frownie. Here, have a brownie.

They'll probably get annoyed after awhile and just stop. Remember, if they know which buttons to push, they'll keep pushing them.

Good to see you posting, Lilac Tree (although you will always be Ford to me)

Ignore the nastiness, let people do or say what they will.  That a reflection of  them, not you.

Thank you John.  Sorry to have left you out!  I do consider you a good friend.  Hope all is getting better at home after all of your losses.  I don't know why they always seem to happen all at once.

Thanks minkbunny!  I'll always be Ford to me also.  Don't know why I did that because it changed nothing, LOL.
