My day at the quilt-a-thon

I don't get it. Usually I find you to be a rational, reasonable human.
However, suggesting people put your posts in a killfile because they
disagree with you seems an irrational solution to a problem. Yes, certainly
I could killfile your posts, and you can certainly killfile mine. You
posted, some took offense and said so. I have no delusions that I am going
to change your opinion of others. But my opinion of you certainly has
changed.

Sorry. It is a done deal. Even as they were exclaiming over the
magnetic pin cushion, I smiled and said lightly how pleased I was with
it too and picked it up and showed them how the pins stick and said how
convenient it was when pins dropped since you could wave it over the
floor and how children love it. I would never say something behind
someone's back that I couldn't say in front of them (and generally
already have). Same deal with the flannel board. As we were chatting,
we talked a little about kids and stuff they like and how we all like to
draw with crayons. I said how much I love low-tech solutions to
problems, and one student mentioned a little about playing with her kids
in her classes. Then the conversation turned to getting paid for
consultation work.


It wasn't a rough day. It was an energizing one. I had a blast, and
judging by the way they thanked me for the lesson and inquired about
future lessons, they had a good time too. (I'm not interested in
teaching for a living, but it is nice to know someone thinks I'm that
good a teacher.)


It looks like I've hurt some feelings of people on this list. I suggest
those people put me in their killfile so their feelings don't get hurt
again. That's what I do whenever someone's posts bother me. (I do that
after rereading the entire thread to see if I've misunderstood something
or taken it out of context.)
