... I get a feeling I may have been the one who offended Noreen. I didn't mean to, and was only pointing out that a comment was made that included an incorrect generalization of an entire island's people. I didn't mean for it to come off as attacking or inflamatory. All I meant to do was provide correct information where the people were concerned. I thought I did so calmly, factually, and without bias or rudeness. Apparently, I was wrong. If panties were bunched because of it, I don't see as I can be blamed. If someone wishes to find me at fault, fine. I can't change their mind, and the past is done. I'm not going to feel guilty about it. On to other things, please. Anastasia Anastasia, your post was informative and in no way offensive. Actually, I didn't see anyone jump all over Noreen here so I'm still wondering what her rant here was really all about. -- Jan in MN |

A group of "Helping Hands for Haiti" health care workers are travelling there on Feb 11th and have donated sports bag to pack them in..and they are shipping them with their own suitcases.. Sorry to dissapoint everyone..Anything I could donated is my time and a lot of left over yarn from years gone by. I think it's great! Haiti is something like the 2nd poorest nation in the world, and although there are certainly lots of other poor countries (and poor areas in our own country), if there's a group already going down there, what a perfect opportunity to send something with for the children. Especially since the group is health care workers, no doubt treating their share of kids with illnesses. I'm sure it will be a treat for them to be able to give the kids a teddy. |

I didn't say I was looking for payment. What I was saying that it's
nice when you can sometimes receive a hug or see a smile when you drop items off at the charity that you help. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word payment. Darlene in Toronto |

Yeah, and a comfort to a little one who has to get a needle or take yucky medicine. I'm sure the teddies will put a smile on those little faces. ) Gemini |

Here is her quote "I have received a number of hugs when dropping off my items and know that the hug or smile is my payment for doing something that I love " Darlene sayd she was looking for payment..or am I reading that sentence inorrect?? Yes, you are incorrect. No, she didn't say she was looking for payment. She said the hug or smile was her payment, in other words the hug/smile were her inspiration, or perhaps, her reward for the work she loves to do (crochet/knit). I did post it in brackets.. If you posted it in brackets in your original post, I didn't see it, all I saw was your comment. Yes I am new to this program and dont know how to post..sorry That's okay, but please, in your future posts, please include the sentence or paragraph you are posting about. Then we'll all know what you are talking about. ;) Or have a look at how I've answered your post. You can do it that way too. Welcome to the group and tell us more about yourself! Shelagh |
