I always remember what Forest Gumps' mom said: A gentleman is someone, who tries to make everyone in his company, feel comfortable.
I wouldn't want anyone to leave. Scott, you are a rich thread in the tapestry of life, who without, the tapestry just wouldn't be as vibrant.
I too love to quilt and needlepoint. That cross-stitch talent was better left to my mom, aunts, and grandma's.
My sensitive friend squiggers, is just being true to herself, and I can find no fault in that.
GIB, you've never offended me(and that is no way to handle a casino job, I can see why ya'll's plan has not come to fruition, yet). I will say "Thanks PAL", though.

I did wonder, at times, as I perused some of those passive/aggressive remarks or pics, whether you just didn't like women, cats, me, or just squiggy. I know some ppl care not, what buttons they push or triggers they flip.
Que sera sera...... Trust me, I haven't lost sleep over it.
TGF, you just crack me up sometimes. LOL!
I do hope all of us would maybe think twice, if we are AWARE, that something we say or posts could be considered offensive, to some.
Imho, insensitivity is something, we could all live better without.
HEY, I was raised in the south by a mean Marine that had 2 wars to fight through. Yeah, there were some radical concepts to overcome.......... I hope I can remain, not too rigid or too bendy.

The critters has got a good thing going......... good luck all.
