Thanks for the apology Russ. I appreciate it. Honestly it did hurt. I still don't know quite what is meant as being from another camp...but I don't agree with you on some things either so guess we're even : ) Not using this as an excuse, and kind of personal, but you're mature enough to understand. I just found out I was PMSing after that happened. Just had a second period in a month. I use to have periods every 2 weeks when I first started when I was 12 and, apparently, am going to end my cycles in the same way!!! (I'm assuming I'm doing some peri-menopausal stuff). I was more emotional and reactive when this happened when we had also been discussing things privately. I had no idea that was coming! Normally knowing my cycles gives me some insights into my own emotions but kind of hard when my hormones are erratic like this. So I apologize for my hot headed moments and/or emotional moments.... Please continue to bear with me and be patient!

I would not want to offend or hurt you either... I'm sure I have stepped on your toes here and there with differences, but that is the nature of such a forum....debating differences. I'm learning to accept that. I still appreciate all the information I'm gleaning, too, though and am learning a lot about how people think out there! I wonder how different it would all be without the internet that way.... : ) I normally speak to folks more face to face...
