"Wooly" wrote in message ... .. You have no idea what's behind their living arrangement and you're not qualified to comment on it even if you think you know something based on the information Gem has given us in the past. is *THAT* clear enough? Something is certainly clear. Its too bad so many of "the internets" have turned into ********s; this trend has made it quite difficult to find any decent places to exchange ideas... Wooly: Hey, you know what? Somebody should speak up for 24 year-old Matthew and I'm not ashamed to be the only one doing it publicly. His love life, his financial woes, his hiring, even his firing, his previous dating/intimacy behavior......all have been meticulously detailed and published by his mother into this yarn group, even posting, as currently, under *his* own real name in his ISP account. Prior to this, with poor Matthew in mind, I have sent her instructions how NOT to put his name in the header and here she is back again, big as life, "Matthew Holland." And it grieves me that his confidential information is discussed by others in this group. Good! Wow! Glad he once AGAIN put off his plans with his sweetheart, whew, guess you're relieved.... etc...etc.... How just plain awful. As it happens, I have a son named Matthew, too. If I were publishing my Matthew's most personal, intimate and confidential information into a worldwide yarn group, (and even imaginging that boggles the mind,) I would truly hope that somebody -- maybe you, Wolly -- would say a word on behalf of his right to privacy. Because I'm sure he has know idea that she has made him the poster boy for failure and bad judgement in an international Usenet group. If my criticism will make her stop I'll offer it again and again. No, I don't apologize for speaking out for Matthew, Wooly. I truly hope to read someday in this yarn group that he has got in his car, taken his sweetie with him and driven off into his future as a grownup, finally free to make his own mistakes just as the rest of us grownups are. Keep the faith, Matthew Holland. If you could read my email you'd realize that more people than you'll ever know are cheering for you. I'd surely send this to your email but I'm sure you'd never see it. JaneB |

"JaneB" wrote in message ... I think it's deeply sad to see someone cheer that her 24-year old son has once again bowed to pressure to put off his adult pursuits to live with and support his mother. JaneB is *THAT* clear enough? Geez, Jane, is Matthew or Gem's personal life really any of your business? If you're going to complain about people going "off-topic", perhaps you should refrain from sticking your nose in them. I don't normally respond to issues like this, but that is really annoying. |

If my criticism will make her stop I'll offer it again and again. No, I don't apologize for speaking out for Matthew, Ah yes, Jane, who presumed to know that I was doping my son to the gills for my own convenience when I commented in this forum about his ADD and who also presumed to lecture me about my parenting skills, life choices and various other things about which you were then and are still ignorant. Jane, obviously your education was lacking. There's a difference between belittling and defending and you seem incapable of making the distinction. What YOU did was to belittle Gem's and Matthew's living arrangement without knowing the first thing behind the arrangement. You belittled a mother who seems to love her son very much, and you belittled Matthew for apparently loving his mother enough to stick through her, respect her and attempt to support her (financially, physically, emotionally) through hard times. Gods forbid that a child in this day and age should RESPECT HIS PARENTS, right? Were you *truly* interested in Matt's "right to privacy" you'd email Gem privately and mention that possibly she's a little too free with some personal details that might be better omitted from her posts. You, madame (and I use the term loosely) need to go back to whatever hole you crawled from, and crawl right back in. There's enough **** floating around here the last few days without you blathering along about yet another subject on which you are woefully ignorant. With apologies to Dan Akroyd I must say "Jane, you ignorant bitch!" Just to get it off my chest, you know. +++++++++++++ Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET. This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%. Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account... |

Or anyone here presume to tell you that they know better than you how to parent him? No, I didn't think so. (You know, if you have nothing to add to rec.crafts.textiles.yarn, there are other groups that would be more fitting. Perhaps alt.I.love.my.superiority.complex.) |

JaneB Jane that is only your opinion and you should keep it to yourself. Nobody is telling you how to raise your child(ren), so perhaps you should quit making judgments on something you know nothing about. If Gem's posts bother you that much, then for the sake of the rest of us, please FILTER her. I haven't seen one person here agree with your posts. Most who post here don't seem to care about off topic posts. Life is too short to worry about **** like that. If you need help setting up your filters, I will be glad to help you. Sorry, I took a vow to make it at LEAST uncomfortable everytime she violates Matthew's privacy anew in a public usenet group. I think it's quite obvious that you aren't sorry. Matthew's privacy is none of your concern. Most people here don't seem to mind if someone vents about troubles at home. If you don't like it, don't read this group. Too bad if that annoys you. Maybe she'll take it to email. Well Jane, I think you are outnumbered and you are annoying a number of people here. Please, get off your high horse, or go away. Sadly, you are becoming an unwelcome troll. Shelagh |

Wow Julie, that's a lot of different types of Mangoes.... I had no idea
there were that many. I think I will likely pass on the one that tastes like beef. I doubt that I would like a fruit that tastes like meat. I expect fruit to be sweet or tangy, and juicy. ;o) Thank you for the extra information on Mangoes. Peace! Gemini "Julie-Ann" wrote in message oups.com... Hi Gemini, Mangoes ROCK!!! (for want of a better word.) There are several different varieties my fave is Bombay and Julie (yes there is a Mango my name...no I was not named for the Mango - my Mom will stop the car in the middle of the road with oncoming traffic to pick up a mango fallen on the sidewalk from someone's tree - Mom does not like Julie Mangoes...and yes I was teased at school for my name) because you can cut them horizontally, take off the top with a screwing motion, get your favourite spoon and scoop-and-eat to your hearts content. Great for breakfast! A list of the mangoes (as much as I can remember): Julie Bombay Number 11 (when they were shipping it in colonial times they didn't remember where they got it so they named by the number it was listed under) East Indian Hairy (this one leaves conspicuous strands between your teeth) Beefy (vile Mango, tastes like beef, if I want beef I'll cook it not pick it) Haydn Blackie (has black spots on the outside to show that it's ripe) Kent Turpentine Sweetie-come-brush-me Robin Long Mango There are many other varieties of Mangoes (some by some really strange names) all of them are sweet...except for Beefy, you can try it don't let me turn you off it. I don't remember ever tasting the one called Turpentine (Mom just told me about that one - she's a Mango expert) so I don't know. Walk good, Julie-Ann Jamaica |
