Every now and then, someone gets offended.

If you know you posted something in good spirit and meant no ill, it is the
best you can do.

But it still can hurt to think you were taken wrongly.    I know I feel bad
about it.

Just to set the record straight, I have no intention whatsoever, of ever
offending anyone here.   Anything I post is meant to help, to inform, to
offer support and loving kindness to those who share the experience of
caring for a loved one with alzheimers.   Sometimes I post something off
topic and I clearly mark it so.  Sometimes it is just my opinion.
Sometimes it is something I know a little bit about and want to share it.
Sometimes I am just hoping to pass on something that will make caregiving a
little easier.

But I never, ever, in my wildest dreams, intend to hurt anyones feelings.

That is a promise, an apology, or whatever is needed.

OK Evelyn I dont know why you are feeling this way...I am assuming some
one said something to make you feel like you did something wrong,

To me it is so hard to read words on a screen and try to figure out what
the person might really mean by a comment that I didnt
understand....oftentimes I think its because we dont really know them or
their way of speaking....I type just like I talk and it has gotten me
into trouble too...I also have a very strange sense of humor which most
people dont get...also with my emotional problems sometimes I type
before I think.

If it makes you feel any better you have never offended me..on the
contrary I find you very loving kind and encouraging.

Like someone said (I think it was Abe Lincoln)  "You cant please all the
people all the time  :)

Hi, and thanks so much, Boydette.   Lee was offended and said she is outta
here.   Apparently she felt some of us were on her case or something, but I
know I wasn't and didn't notice that anyone else was either.   <sigh>   Oh
well..... you are right.  You can't please everybody.

Oh Ok Evelyn...I hadnt read down that far but now I see what you are
referring to.

I know myself how that can happen and  that is why I left before cause I
felt like no one could really understand my situation and the advice I
was getting is not what I wanted to hear at the time so I can understand
how she might feel.

Sometimes its hard to respond to someone else without as the old saying
goes "walking a mile in my shoes"
We are all dealing with the same thing but yet different as each
individual is different.....so it goes....hopefully she will lurk and
see no offense was intended and rejoin us...B

Evelyn, gosh! You have been so helpful and supportive in your replies
to me, and to other posts as well. I don't see a need to apologize,
JMHO.

Thanks Donnah.   Years ago a very kindly old gentleman (now long dead) gave
me some good advice.   He told me that it never hurts to be nice.   If I
offended Lee somehow, it was unintentional, so an apology can't hurt.  But I
did add that the offense was unintentional.   I don't come here to aggravate
anyone or to be aggravated myself.   That would be pointless.
