One thing I always keep in mind is that communication face to face is much easier to interpret because you can see facial expressions and hear intonations in the voice that helps you understand the meaning behind the words. On paper or here on the Board, we interpret meaning strickly from the words written. I do believe that often meanings are misunderstood or responses are written in a hurry without realizing how the message may be interpreted. I also like the fact that this is a place of friends...we can share, cry, laugh, and vent to help us navigate through life! I love it! There is so much support here that I refer to this Board as 'my quilting friends.'
