Dear Carol, I just read your comment. Sorry, but I never received your email about libel and the kitty kat. If you don’t mind, why don’t you write in to the site’s mailbox, and i”ll do my best to answer your questions. Thanks.

Hi Maurine, Thank you (and everyone else) for understanding. I’ve heard the complaints before and will continue to do so. Comes with the territory. The cookies, however, don’t. I’m loving the cookie idea :) I can’t say thank you enough. “The Duchess”

Thanks, Lily. Ironic how you seem to know I only drink tea. And, what goes better with tea than cookies? I’m still breathing ;)

Sorry everyone. My computer froze for a little bit and I lost my delete powers. However, they are back now, and I believe I got rid of her multiples.

I agree with you that it’s hard work. Most people don’t understand that we are working with basically a “skeleton” staff. It’s not that we don’t accept “constructive criticism,” basically, it’s the tone in which it is written that we take exception to. I apologize if I was harsh, but if you were to look at your comments, from our point of view, I would think you would understand how they would be perceived as being “snide.” Again, I didn’t mean to be so harsh, but with all the negativity that has been on the site lately, I am at my wit’s end, as I’m the only monitor for this site. However, since you were a teacher, please take a look at your previous posts. I truly hope you can see how they were construed as being “snide” on our end.

I wanted you to read my post before I delete the spammer. Once I delete his comment, all replies get deleted as well. I’m sure you’ll have a problem with that too, but you can bring that up with Tom, our tech guru.

Hi All, Glad you like my tiara. I agree with you Lily, we all should have one. To Blue Circle — no problem. And Phyllis, you can still have your bulgar!

Sorry Bonnie, my daughter has dibs. ;)

Hi Diana, Yes, Joni and some others are working out the specifics. I’m not privy to much of the information, however, I do know that this issue is being addressed.

Hi Kat, The list was sent to me from “the powers that be”, however, I’ll be sure to pass along your comment.

Hi I Love Money and right back at you, If you wish to close your account, you need to write in to the site’s mailbox (the “talk-to-us” link). Tom, the tech guru will then take care of it. Blogsite links are fine.

Hi again Frannie, Hopefully somewhere into cyberspace. He’ll probably be back — perhaps with a clever alias like “Drew Vicki” to throw us off! If he does show up, please everyone, do not respond — it just makes my life a little easier if you don’t. Thanks.

Thanks Ulla, I’m trying my best. This has been a tough week, especially in regards to other topics (and specific posters!).

Hi Frannie, Pretty much what I Love Money wrote… ;)

Thanks, Kathrine. Hopefully Joni will see this! —
