Mrs. Bates, I went and dredged this up for you. Here it is, the mission statement as it were: http://www.wowowow.com/who-we-are The site was marketed as a site for women over 40. Of course anyone over 18 can participate, for legal reasons, and for many other reasons. But I think the point of the site is to have a web “home” for all of us women who have a few decades of adulthood going on. That is how I think the misunderstanding happened. First Mary Lou and then Mugsy questioned why the site was giving some sort of recognition to Frank. I actually was more focussed on what Frank had to say, and started worrying about a repeat election fraud. But the worry that the site would not finally be for women and about women continued in that thread. Frank even sympathized and understood from what he posted. It was never personal. It was almost like a point of order. An inquiry. A lively point of order, to be sure! [Like many parliamentary inquiries, the exchanges can get heated.] I do have a problem with your making it personal, and walking out in a huff. I just think you misunderstood and I hope you will return. The trouble with these types of misunderstandings is that it can make those of us who are left much too careful in expressing ourselves, so that misunderstandings may become even more common. So please leave the name calling at the door and quit taking it so personally. We are just exchanging opinions and information and having a good time.

Mugsy, you have a wonderful blogspot. You are so correct about using All Things Biodegradable. I may also add that if anyone has a garden, All Produce Waste should not be thrown away; compost it. I do garden lectures, and I am literally begging people to stop using all of the chemicals on their yards. This is going into our waterways, and I would not be surprised if they don’t discover that it is one reason for the increases in cancer and other diseases of the organs. Thank you for your contributions to this website. I don’t think you need to apologize to anyone for speaking your mind.

How do you wind down?

I said ‘burn it’ because there are now giant ovens that can be heated up to unbelievable heights. They can reduce anything to ash in a split second. Scientists have their hands on them now, but someone should be using them for garbage… the kind that’s not good to anyone. Patrice

Mugsy: the way I see it: You have nothing to apologize to anyone for. Period.

PS. The woman from the city told me that recycling was a problem because there wasn’t a market for all of the trash. Therefore this process made it into clean electricity.
