Apologies to group, especially Pat

I cancelled the message that I sent, but it probably got through to some news providers anyway. Just wanted to say sorry for being bitchy, particular to Pat. I hope the spider bite doesn't cause you too much suffering. Yowie I think you actually made some perceptive and important comments. In particular, this last paragraph from your message: "I don't wish her ill or hurt, but suspect that the best thing we can do for her is to stop enabling her to make excuses and duck responsibilty for the problems she has made for herself. I am trying to say this in a spirit kindness and with an eye to her future wellbeing." I also don't wish Pat -- or anyone else -- any ill will. However, she has posted a long series of messages where she talks about a continuing series of problems, asks us to buy from her list of items, talks about what she will (or won't) do for her cats, but then ignores or disputes *every* suggestion that is made. You are right -- this group has been enabling her. That does not help anyone; it simply encourages the person to continue with the same pattern. MaryL I have wondered for quite sometime if she was "for real" MLB I can tell you when she wanted to meet me for lunch in Memphis she wouldn't budge from a particular Vietnamese restaurant. I hate Vietnamese food on so many levels. I suggested a lot of places. She was so rigid about it, it had to be this one place. So I made excuses not to go. Later she whined on the ng about how I didn't want to meet her. No. Who would want to meet someone who wouldn't even give an inch about something as simple as a choice of restaurant? (Oh, and BTW. asked me if I'd buy the house next door to her... um, no.) Jill |

I invited Jill to lunch and asked her to choose a restaurant. She asked me what kind of food I like. I told her I love all oriental and east Indian food. She said so does she. And she asked me to pick a favorite place. I did. She agreed to meet me, then didn't show up. She never said a word about not liking the specific restaurant, the food they served, or anything else. She just simply didn't show up. |

Other than that, it's perfect! :-) I guess what it would boil down to for me is a quick shower, a large Martini, and a cat head to skritch. Different boat, same float. Pour me a martini and we'll talk about it G |
