Margie, I really like and respect you, but that really doesn't affect
the way I feel about Starlia, or the reasons I feel that way, or my belief that making my feelings public is the right thing for me to do. I'm glad Starlia has helped you; may you never feel anything but warmth toward her. However, I want my name distanced from hers. Margie wrote: This is really a reply to everyone.

People have problems and sometimes it may take time to straighten them all out but none of you know Starlia personally, I DO. If it weren't for her I would be sitting in my house all the time because I am handicapped and can't drive. She is kind and always considerate. She makes sure I get where I need to go and worries about me when I am sick and in the hospital like last week. If she had financial problems and couldn't handle something there was a reason. Unless this personallty affected you don't drag her name through the mud. I never look at other peoples beads because I'm to busy with my own, but I am afraid to put beads up for sale that I might step on someone's feelings. There is not a color combination or style that has not been made by someone at some time. My sister was a lampworker before most of you ever thought of being one. She lampworked over 25 years ago. She has taught me to make a rose that I am afraid to put up for sale because someone might say OH, SHE COPPIED ME. This industry should try to spend their time trying to make it easier and better with education, not tearing someone down. Starlia has feelings and this has been horrible for her. I will always stand by her as I actually KNOW HER PERSONALLY. Margie Wells (Victoriantreasures2) -- -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com |

People have talked about Starlia over on WC as well - and there are a ton of
lampworkers who read that forum. -- Kandice Seeber www.lampwork.net The lampwork community is, indeed, must broader than this place. However, the lampworking community is not as large as many people believe it is, and it's far more tightly-knit. It is not only on RCB that people see and question your behavior. I have never brought you up to non-RCB people... but nonetheless I've heard others talk about you. At ISGB meetings. Your customers talk. Your actions speak for themselves and create a reputation for you, completely independent of me or anyone on RCB. starlia wrote: Su sorry you feel that way. They are your feelings. As far as the entire lampwork community goes, it's much, much broader than this place. -- -Kalera http://www.beadwife.com |

Hi Margie, I am neither agreeing nor disagreeing with you.
I just want to point something I see from my own experience. Starlia needs to take care of herself, not others. Or more particularly, she needs to take care of her own needs, before she takes care of her wants or of other people's needs. We all need to do this, and some of us have a harder time with it than others do. I have a hard time with it. Ironically, it shows that the person has an insufficient sense of self. Too little ego. Used to be that everyone loved me for being so sweet and caring, but I couldn't take care of myself (especially bills, etc). I too think a good psychologist would help her. Of course I think that about a lot of people. Tina "Margie" wrote in message ups.com... This is really a reply to everyone. I am 60 years old and have always been a professional.
