Sarah, I received a PM from a moderator, so that is the only reason I know. Anything I did was entirely unintended and I was not aware of ruffling any feathers.
Of course, you don't seem at all like the type who would intentionally offend anyone. I, on the other hand...no just kidding. :) Sometimes I can be pretty brash but I try to make it known that I'm joking. hehe and M Sue is right, it is so hard to tell what people mean through reading type; you can't gather inflections and tone and meaning as well.
Raz.....glad you and your dog are alright. A friend had a similar thing happen to him while working on his semi. The jack collapsed pinning both his arms up to his elbows. Had to call 911 and thankfully for workers at the barn they were able to free him. He too came out of it safely. He only had a wound to his hand which was unbelievable....you'd think his arms would of been severed or something. They were thinking the wound was a release point from all the pressure on his arms/veins.
This might sound funny when I say it, but in no way am I trying to be rude: How did he call 911 if both of his arms were pinned? Was he able to get one out, or was someone else there? Either way I would probably die from fright or anxiety if that had been me. I get weirded out when I'm confined.
Is that your idea of "tough love"?
Back when I had a real job, a mentor said to me, "praise in public and correct in private". I always thought that was good advice.
First statement: 
Second statement: that is very good advice, I agree.
Oh, I cant remember if I told you guys or not but...
I GOT THE JOB!!
she called me today and I get to start May 9th. I wish it was sooner, because I hate this place, but it actually works out well with the remaining paychecks I'll have from here, I really won't be out of money before I get paid again. So yay!!!! I'm so excited!
Maybe I need a special font? lol
