Hi Andrea,

So sorry.......didn't mean to make you feel "ouch", etc, LOL.

When I first came to RR, I thought this guy was yelling -

But Kathleen uses it humoristically, so I gathered from that that he's having a hearty belly laugh.

Glad no hard feelings.
And yes, food being a bit off affects me too :)

: Hi Sarit,

: sure, I agree that some things lie in
: the eye of the beholder. After
: reading your reply, I tried to see
: as a little purple guy
: wiping his forehead, but nope. Can
: ´t do it. Then I was trying to
: find out why the first reaction I
: had when I read your reply was
: "Ouch!" and "so is
: she saying I am a negative person
: by associating negatively
: connotated words with that smiley
: thingy?" and "should I
: take a Rohrschach now?" I
: hadn t expected really serious
: answers to my post, which I wrote
: on a whim and kind of as a joke,
: and now felt as if I better defend
: myself and make sure I am not a
: grumpy square.

: The conclusion I came to is this:
: I am supersensitive when my food is
: off... and guess what: my food has
: been off for a few days. So I kind
: of take it easy on myself when
: that happens and try to do the
: take-a-step-back thing once in a
: while and acknowledge that yes, I
: am supersensitive right now and
: probably giving more weight to
: little things than need be... I
: might have just smiled in response
: had my food been "on".

: Anyway, no hard feelings. I agree of
: course that those thingies are
: there to make the posts more
: colorful (two people with
: palms of hands on window glass
: that separates them yelling at
: each other to be understood? Just
: kidding)
