Just when you thought she had gone......

[Govangirl]

I have received so many PMs that it would be churlish of me to stay away. As folk have pointed out, I cannot let one person affect me when there are dozens more who are my friends (well, okay then, two). So can I say the following:
•Bill, I apologise and I hope you will accept it in the spirit it is offered. You are an elder statesman on the forum and therefore deserve respect. We can agree to disagree and stay out of each other’s way.
• All the PMs were wonderful. I cannot believe how lovely the people on this forum are.
•I will quietly slip in to a non-controversial thread when there is an opportune moment. It is only proper not to refer to the wee wrangle this week.
•I will only confine myself to non-controversial threads from now on (aye right! ). However, I will be more than careful when I am at my most menopausal and likely to go into meltdown.
I hope that’s okay with everyone. And Hugh, I’d be ever so grateful if you’d send those oil of primrose tablets back.

Oh, dunno about that...they had a "use by" date on them, and I couldn't make out the date so I thought I'd use them, just in case. Good to see you back. Was it a long weekend?

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Non-controversial threads???!! Oh.. how... boring! I give ya two days.

Have I missed something here - dyslexia has certain benefits. Welcome back girl.

[Martin]

Good to see you back Mrs. Nesbit.

[ionnsaigh]

Martin, I hope you don't take offence, nothing personal, only the sight of the butchers apron gives me the boak.

Great to see you back, GG! Your contributions are always good value - whether or not anyone agrees with you!

However, I will be more than careful when I am at my most menopausal and likely to go into meltdown.

ionnsaigh - I know that you are a tolerant sort, and can find space in your soul to respect those whose peaceful views are different to your own ... let's give GG a non-contoversial welcome back thread

In reply to Govan Girl's apology I will say the same as I said to "Horse",there is no need for an apology as no offence was taken.

As in most disputes it is best to agree to disagree and move on.

[ionnsaigh]

Mary I would if I could, but a cannae.
I've searched for over 50 years, studied x-rays, books - religion you name it - I have yet to find any evidence of the existence of soul. Soulless I stand.
