Ed, I saw this post in my spam filter for some reason, and while I normally wouldn't comment on such a topic, I will respectfully say that you do not know me at all, and to characterize or label my personality or friendships is inappropriate. I have no idea what this is about. I don't always read or even receive all of the postings of this forum. I have a busy schedule and admittedly, this is not my primary e-mall address. I try to be respectful when I do offer a comment. I have no issues with anyone here, nor do I engage in politics. That said, I find your articulate comments to be a welcome addition here. Enjoy your day.. Kristy

Thanks, Chris Austin-Lane Mayka, I take you at your word when you say: "I admire people who don't fear the consequences of speaking up their minds ..." So, at the risk of of being label "thorny", I say: Yes, you and Kristy could be friends, though probably not when in the same kitchen, coffee klatch, or Yahoo group, as both of you are confident, strong-willed alpha-females. With playfully truthful loving-kindness, --ED K... Enjoyed the clarity of this post of yours. I think that Mike might have been right and there is the possibility that if we both met and knew face to face we might become friends. Anyway, we're in the same group and find very silly not to interact with each other. You're wrong and I do like you. We both are impulsive ladies. I like from the posting you sent to Anthony your very good intentions of helping him. There was warm and compassion in your personal way of posting . I admire people who don't fear the consequences of speaking up their minds specially with taboo subjects as the one you spoke about. Interaction between Anthony and yourself was an interesting dharma. Can we make up and be friends? Mayka
