[QUOTE="klmno, post: 439572, member: 3699"] Thank you, Marg! People here are like my family and it is true that telling a person the truth (even when it's being told to me) in a kind, constructive way is much more beneficial sometimes than always hearing what we want to. And like in "real" families, sometimes I, as others, get my feelings hurt or get angry but I try to work it out with the member privately via PM. I really appreciate the fact that when this has occurred, we've always been able to clarify, apologize, or whatever needs to be done to work thru it and get past it and move on, still being friends on the board, at least to the best of my knowledge. At least for me, this ability alone has proven helpful when it feels like I'm dealing with several difficult children in the real world. This board and my two dogs are the only two consistent "things" in my life over the past few years and I greatly appreciate the stability, feedback, support, and cyber-friendship. And, yes, humor!
