I'm back (sorry to those of you that were glad to see me go)...but I'll be gone again

Oh, get a sense of humor,silly woman or man, in which case I suppose I would suggest growing a pair rather than hide behind anonymity.

Retract the fangs, sweetie, this isn't a mean-spirited place. It is, however, where topics may be discussed with civility. If this ticks you off, keep alert, I am not finished. A chuckle among all the fear and anxiety never hurts. I realize, perhaps more so than you, what is at stake in this whole health care debate, but it must remain just that: a civil and respectful debate. I was J-O-K-I-N-G. Novel concept for some, apparently, but clearly was trying to lighten the discussion with some brevity. I did write, which you failed to quote (hmmm, wonder why??) that I was not AWOL, nor a deserted from Dr. Love's Army Of Women. I thought that would speak for itself. Clearly, you failed to read my full post, or I am certain you would not have attacked me so viciously and unkindly. Shame on you, but no matter, just settle down and play nice in the sandbox and we will all get along. We are all in this together, aren't we?
