This is why I keep telling my mom and my sister to stop confronting each other over email... lol. I guess that is why it has taken me until I am 27 to use a forum.

Much truth here....and my little winky face is always meant as a genuine smile and a wink. There are some days when I can type with perfect diplomacy....and other days I'm feeling a bit tired and/or grumpy and words come out more abruptly than I'd like...but I very rarely ever intend to be abrupt or sharp with anyone....and when I intend to, it's usually pretty unmistakable.

This IS a good discussion and one I'm not offended by or bothered by and have enjoyed participating in. It's always good to take the time to remind folks reading these threads that there are REASONS why we suggest the things we do...even if those reasons aren't always given every single time.
