Ayuda,
First, I hope that you’re doing well and life is treating you OK.I don’t know what the motive was behind Linguini’s post, I could assume something, but we’re not supposed to make others feel put down here, so I won’t. I think you’re off-base as to Shar’s intent in her post however. I have known Shar for a long time, she is one of my dearest friends. She is a kind, caring, loving woman, and I count my blessings everyday to have her as a friend. She is an honest person and does shoot straight from the hip, but I have never known her to be openly hostile toward anyone unless she was being attacked by another poster, and even then she has a tendancy to take the high road in a confrontation. I believe the only questionable post was the one from Linguini, and Shar, like myself and maybe a few others are confused because it seems that you don’t want us to post to her at all.
I think Shar’s question is a legitimate one; Why is it a bad thing to ask about someone who is, or has been a valued member of this community? Or to ask someone who is in touch with that person to say hi to them for you and send along your best wishes? I miss Beardy a lot, I think she’s charming, very intelligent, and speaks honestly and from the heart. I wish she was still here and hope someday will find it in her heart to return. But if she doesn’t, I hope she is happy and is taking very good care of herself.
I guess what I’m saying is that there are many here that care about Beardy and miss her presence here. Her input, honesty, sense of humor, the free grammar lessons :). And from time to time, even if she doesn’t respond, we’re still going to ask after her. Because we care.
Beardy, if you read this, you are missed. Please take good care of yourself, okay?Much love,
Greg
