Well, I googled and foound the thread that started all this. I didn't think it was anti-Muslim but more poking fun at anti-Muslim hysteria. Or, of course, the work of some teenage boys who just wanted to see all the women in their neighborhood take their clothes off. Depending on the neighborhood, this may not have turned out as well as planned. LOL!!!! (I live in a senior retirement residence, and believe me, we all look much better clothed!) My sister works for the Department of Social Services in Virginia, the department which, among other things, oversees retirement homes. She once told me about a retirement home named Chippendales, leading to mental images of elderly gentlemen wearing bow ties but no shirts. -- John F.

Joy Hope you got some advice from GoPhone tech people with the phone. Your man in London was right, software for printers has to be installed in your PC *before* testing its printing. There is a way - booklet will tell you - to check if your printer software is in place. There must be a quote for HP printers (I got one but not your model) but alll I can come up with right now is a string of obscenities... I have a different (small, obscure, western) cell phone carrier, but here's a clue, if you don't already know: "unlock" and "add contact" are buried in MY "other options" under main heading of "contacts".... Thanks for the tips, hopitus. The printer instructions specifically said not to connect the printer to the computer until after the test. If it isn't connected to the computer, having the software in the computer wouldn't help. Joy |

WHAT HAVE I DONE? :(
Okay, no worries about that. I totally understand, and thank you
Love Kyla "Granby" Kyla, please don't take this to the other group, there are people hurting there too and without a lot of posts, it would be hard to explain. Not saying this to be mean but just don't see what point it would prove. "Kyla =^. .^=`" ... "Susan M" Kyla =^. .^=` wrote: Oh dear, what have I done? I certainly meant NO harm when I wrote about Shirley's death. I'm just sitting here in tears knowing I now have everyone in the group hating me and that wasn't my intention at all. Pam, I know Rob has cancer and I am hoping for good results for him, I am wishing nothing but the best for both him and you Pam. I'm crying so hard, I can't think straight. If you all thought it was in bad taste, dreadful, then I guess it was, but that was not my intention at all. I promise. I lost my own Mother last August, and it still hurts. Please forgive me. I'm SO sorry. Kyla --in tears because now I've lost all my friends Kyla - I know that everyone is different in how they approach times like this and I've learned to appreciate the good intent behind each attempt at comfort. Susan, I should never have written that letter I am so sorry for your loss of Grandma Shirley, and I do appreciate you trying to comfort me in 'your' time of grief. I'm also sorry about your mother. Thank you, she was 84, and it will be a year in late August when she 'went home'. I have admired Pam and her family for so long. Her unfailing love and support of her husband, children, and cats is something you can practically see just from reading her words. She has had to be so strong for so long. I admire her grace in doing so - her focus on the positive during such rough times - and her ability to use humour to keep everyone afloat. Purrs and good thoughts continue to come from my house to theirs. I too have admired Pam and her family, even tho I've only been here since March. And I too am sending her purrs and good thoughts. Thank you for being kind enough to write me in your time of loss and grief (((((((((Susan and Family))))))) You take care too, sweetie. Take care, Susan M Otis and Chester Kyla Mosey, Pookie, Pipps and Sqweex |

I'm Sorry
Thank you Granby. You're right, and again, I do apologize.
Love Kyla "Granby" I could really murk up the waters and post my response to Pam concerning this email but, won't go there. Best to let sleeping Dogs/cats lay, lie, whatever.

Maybe I need a break from most of you. Pam S. disgusted by her stupidity Personally, I don't see what all the fuss is about. As a person who appreciates wicked satire it was clear (to me, anyway) that what you posted was a huge dig at AMERICAN attitudes and the psychology of fear the current government dispenses to us on a daily basis. I didn't see it as intending to be offensive to muslims, but definitely intended as a big pointy jab to those stupid citizens of the gold old USA that continue to buy into that sort of crap. No matter. There will always be someone somewhere that will take something the wrong way and find followers to go down the same path, regardless of what the reality is. Anyone care to let the uninitiated know what the hell you're all talking about? When someone starts a thread like this out of the blue, with no indication what it refers to, it leaves some of us floundering!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - See thread "Received In My Inbox Today OT, Political, and funny" for a full background. But here's a brief synopsis. Pam posted a joke. Some people thought it was offensive. Some people didn't. Kyla posted a letter. Some people thought it was offensive. Some didn't. Just to prove we're all so open-minded our brains practically fall out every time we post, Matthew posted some jokes about "Indians" and "Mexicans." But Dan said that was okay. He said we can post any joke we want to, so long as it's just "mildly" offensive, and advised the ones who didn't like it "get over it." This is all my personal interpretation of course. YMMV. Yep, that pretty well covers it, Sherry. Tweed |

Pam S. disgusted by her stupidity Pam I get the reference (it took me a minute, though)....and it IS just plain weird, isn't it?? I know you have a wonderfully irreverant sense of humor, and I also get that you wouldn't ever offend anybody on purpose. I remember when I got spanked but good just for using the word "lifestyle" in blessed ignorance that it might be an offensive word. Hell. I didn't know. Oops. Can I say "hell?" Maybe you offended some people, now you know. Kick yourself around for 2 seconds then forget about it. But keep your sense of humor. That's what keeps us sane. Sherry =============== I'm sorry. I got an email from a friend to warn me about this and sent one back saying I could handle it. And I did. Then I saw that email from Kyla to Susan about Grandma Shirley's death and lost it. That email was in as poor of taste or more as my stupid joke, but not one person said anything to her about it. Some of the very people who jumped on the politically correct bandwagon probably thought it was marvelous. I'll tell you, if Kyla sends something so disgusting to us when Rob is fighting his last battle, I'll do something violent. There you go. Here I was thinking you had been so terribly wronged, which you had, and you have to prove that your post wasn't so bad by attacking my friend, who sincerely means well. -- Will in New Haven "The welfare of the people has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience" Albert Camus If your friend is who it would appear you need to keep it back in rpcc talking catbabble instead of authoring stuff to hurt people's feelings...."means well" is getting *way* out of hand or should I say, "send" finger elsewhere than rpcc. Gee, thanks... .I never meant to hurt anyone's feelings, I'm not like that, and wish nothing but the best for Pam and Rob. Cancer is horrible and I feel so bad for what Pam is goin thru, Rob too, and I am sending them both my best wishes for him to get better. Pam is a wonderful writer, and is going thru a lot, I know. Here's a nice quote for you: "Hell is paved with good intentions" John Ray, 1670 I feel so much better now , and it's The road to hell, BTW Judge not lest ye be judged Thanks for brightening my day...NOT! Kyla Personally, and I hope you don't take this the wrong way, I think you need to "back off". I have, in the past, been a bit put off by your forwardness - even if it is done with good intentions. UseNet is a place that some people come to so they can have a bit of fun, "vent" to (virtual) strangers without worrying about the consequences in their real lives, and sometimes just let out their sadness as they're perhaps, for whatever reason, not able to do with their family. Asking for people's addresses, so you can send them cards or letters, when you don't even know them, is sort of creepy to me in a "stalkerish" sort of way. [I'm even considering taking my name off the Christmas card list so you don't get my address! And I'll be *VERY* resentful if I have to do that because I have enjoyed exchanging Christmas cards with the people here for 4 or 5 years now!] I understand that some people come here and see all the closeness of this group and want to just dive in - but most of us have been "friends" for years and years and have, only slowly, come to trust one another. For a newcomer to expect the same is unrealistic and naive and, again, can be very off-putting. This isn't the first time you've had to post an apology about being too forward or "putting your foot in your mouth", in fact I don't even think it's the second or third time! Maybe you should just try reading a bit and stay more impersonal until people get to know you better or invite you to be closer. Hugs, CatNipped |

m... Next time I'll post child pornography fantasies instead. Sheesh. Maybe I need a break from most of you. Pam S. disgusted by her stupidity Fuggedaboutit! There isn't a person here who *hasn't* offended somebody for something or other once or twice (I'm a repeat offender)! There are some here who, to me, are a bit too easily offended, but that's just my opinion (which will probably offend some people). Hugs, CatNipped |
