>>Bless your heart....a snarky rant and nobody but me left to see it. Such a shame....throwing in the cultural accusation was sooooo Obama! Go Philip!!! Annoy a troll!!! ROFL<<

Please allow me a moment to recall my first AI thread. I was not just snarky — I was snide. I don’t recall what was driving me, but one of the first and best of us pointed out my general sourness — Tammy.

There was a power in her words (Chunga, this is for you) — she was so kind, yet accurate in her analysis of my crap.

I literally had a turnaround in how I approached AI — to enjoy the good and be gentle in what is less than good. Tammy taught me the difference between snide and snark (and Jonny carries that torch so beautifully).

She left us a few years back. She was so kind and had such a beautiful soul that God decided her proper place was with the angels. No euphemisms: she died.

Chunga, remember the difference between snide and snark.

I leave it to Jonny for any follow up (and historical clarifications)

That was a beautiful post, Free. There's nothing I can add to it.

I don't remember the words, but Tammy said something in a post or two that changed your mind. And I remember you thanked her for it :)

I'm glad you reminded me of Tammy's gentleness this morning--I needed it.

God bless you, My Friend. I'm sorry you won't be able to make it home this Easter, but I hope you have blessed Resurrection Day no matter where you are. Take care.
