"Read, every day, something no one else is reading.  Think, every day, something no one else is thinking.  Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do.  It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity."  --  Christopher Morley
(1890-1957, American Novelist, Journalist, Poet)

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear this!
Ali C. Nov 11, 2008, 11:36pm EST
Sorry this happened, it doesn't sound like any fun.
Sleep on it, you'll feel better in the morning and so will the other person.
You are so sweet, this will pass.
Good night.

so sorry it didn't work out

Being honest is the one thing that will not win you many friends. Why? Because sometimes the truth hurts.
I say...
So be it.
Honesty is the best policy.

Well i think everyone's emotions are running high right now, it's just the state of the world. Maybe time will ease the hurt and you'll make up. :-) If not I am sure you have a lot of other gather buddies.
Lee P. Nov 11, 2008, 11:48pm EST
Well Poop??????? How about "OH RATS!" Well, I'm so glad it's not me....and even if it were me I would never remove you has a friend, because then I wouldn't have anyone to pick on.....You didn't write anything that would make someone want to remove the post from their group (whatever that is)....I don't understand these things, I just read and reply because it's fun. (Well Poop, actually made me laugh.) You just keep right on writing and so will I and by golly we'll show them!!!!!!

You handled the situation in a nice way. Some people are hard to please and can never accept their negative role in some things.
Janet "Jax" B. Nov 11, 2008, 11:52pm EST
oh...well, I'm sure she'll come around...you didn't do anything wrong.
Mooch -. Nov 11, 2008, 11:53pm EST
I'm sorry that you went through this, and I agree emotions are high for a lot of people, but you know I've removed and been removed from a few friends lists because I couldn't handle being called a cheater names, and other things, but I hope as time passes people will know that Republicans are just going to complain about Obama. Yeap most of my problems come from my outspoken political stance against Obama I've been called a racist to a Nazi and everything in between.

So in my own way I can understand.
If she didn't want to work it out, or was mad that it was her, I'm sorry that's her problem. maybe given time she will calm down.

Mooch

I guess I missed an article -- I can't figure out from this article what she was doing.
Janie E. Nov 12, 2008, 1:00am EST
Sorry to hear about this, Teresa!!!! I am sure you will make many more friends to replace this one!!!!
Stephannie H. Nov 12, 2008, 2:31am EST
I'm very sorry to hear that. I guess she got upset and didn't know how else to handle it other than stop the friendship, which is sad.
Sarah P. Nov 12, 2008, 4:29am EST
I'm hoping the situation gets resolved fast and things go back to happy happy joy joy.
Carol V. Nov 12, 2008, 8:56am EST

I must have missed the article, but I am sorry it happened to you, honesty is always best. you did the right thing
Sandra H. Nov 12, 2008, 10:38am EST
I think you handled it the right way.
Leah Christensen Nov 12, 2008, 11:01am EST
the best expression of this type is the one where the point is made without mentioning names. Good work!
Laura C. Nov 12, 2008, 11:18am EST
it sounds like you tried to handle it in a really mature way. I'm sorry it worked out the way it did for you.
Jennifer R. Nov 12, 2008, 11:21am EST
It happens.
Maria W. Nov 12, 2008, 11:30am EST

Marilyn M. Nov 12, 2008, 11:56am EST
I see that the flag was removed from this. That's good.

I'm sorry that some thnk you should only be honest about others.
Steph-in-NE ..... Nov 12, 2008, 12:05pm EST
sorry to hear your dealing,, just be better then other and ignore the poor crap....
Diana B. Nov 12, 2008, 1:28pm EST
No offense, but I have little to no tolerance for people who expect honesty, yet are hurt by the truth as if you were suppose to sugar coat everything to spare their feelings. Give me a break!! You know, the truth hurts sometimes, but you have to learn from what has happened, pull yourself up by the bootstraps and be a better person for knowing the truth.
Julia Star Nov 12, 2008, 1:53pm EST
?? Honesty sometimes has consequences, as does dishonesty. Nobody has to be anybody else's friend.
Charlene C. Nov 12, 2008, 5:47pm EST
I'm sorry that she couldn't work it out with your or you with her. Looks like she couldn't take the truth, even though you were so gentle about it.
Dan R. Nov 12, 2008, 8:58pm EST
Poor lady, I'll be your friend... Opps I already am. See I did not remove ya! :)

Like they say, easy come, easy go... That seems to be life anymore...

Thank you for posting to commentsneeded.gather.com
Have a good weekend!

One of the problems with emails is that you sometimes get the wrong impression with your reading of the mail. Someone can intend something one way and the other person takes it another. When we're talking we can tell by the person's voice or body language when they are teasing or tongue in cheek.
Most of us don't like being criticized. I know I don't, even when I know I deserved it.
