Thank you all for your comments - you might make me cry! I admit I was very thin-skinned when I first posted on the boards-not knowing what to expect. I was actually surprised at how mean people can be when this is supposed to just be a place to discuss things and voice opinions (to which we are all entitled). I don't get on here very often, but my skin has gotten thicker so I just try to laugh at the snarky comments (maybe not always successfully)!{#emotions_dlg.rolleyes} But I have also found so many nice people like you on here!

(((kittymomNC))) I hope you'll post more often. {#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}

kittymomNC, It's hard for anyone not to feel the sting of a snark directed their way. As a wise friend suggested to me, let your skin get thicker but don't let it touch your heart.

Keep in mind the snarkers are the ones who look bad, it's their dignity that suffers.Wink

Few things reveal your intellect and your generosity of spirit—the parallel powers of your heart and mind—better than how you give feedback.~Maria Popova
