Yes, the posts (plural) by other people that led up to Emily's single post to which I responded (and which she fully understood). You see, I did read other people's posts, and then 1 by Emily to which I responded. Is that clear now? Can you see how that might happen? > > Are you on the telephone now as you're reading and > responding? It seems like you must be, because you > sure aren't paying attention. Wow, this should be the worst problem in my life, and yours too. Seriously. Judy, I don't care about this now. And since I was distracted on the phone last night - and apparently missed a post, I don't care about that either, nor do I feel guilty or as if I made a big mistake. I made a brief post in response to few words in a post by Emily. Emily was fine with it (as she wrote), and so am I. > > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Susan" <wayback71@> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Emily Reyn <emilymae.reyn@> > > > > > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > Hey now, I'm standing up for Curtis, aren't I :) It's O.K. > > > > > > Curtis...your reputation is safe.
