I think I'm bashing my head against a brick wall with this one. It
really doesn't matter what people said to you off the group - that's quite irrelevant to my point. You made an error and trod on peoples toes. You compounded the error with attempts to tell us we were wrong, and we are not. The charter forbids advertising IN ANY FORM, and offering thing for sale (that is, in exchange for money) is advertising. Let me quote your original post: "Send a donation of one dollar, or whatever you wish, and I will send you a heart quilt block for each dollar recieved." So, in what way are you NOT selling , for a dollar a piece, these quilt blocks? You are offering them in exchange for money: that's advertising a sale. It's forbidden by the charter. The reason for the sale is also irrelevant. I'm now seriously bored with trying to detangle the illiterate postings - I got away from teaching English to avoid that - so I'm going off to do something more interesting, like frog stitching some zips... -- Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Yup! Rewarded myself plenty at the show Jayne and I went to a couple weeks
back and am looking forward to rewarding myself at another in September and then all through our Holiday in Tassie (never realised there were so many LQS down there! -- Sharon From Melbourne Australia (Qof DU) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/index.html Member of the Houston 2004 Party Animals "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message ... Sharon: Mazel Tov!! I am proud of you. Are you rewarding your success with quilt books and fabric? You deserve it. Now I have to leave for monthly Day Guild Meeting. We have to bring 'Dogs' .... weird/funky/ugly projects. I have one to show ... wonder if it will be voted "Least Likely to Get Into Houston!" LOL ... Have a great quilty day y'all!

So thats the email you got from me huh??? I dont even know who you
are... Nor did I send you an email... Why would I call you a Bicth... and ask you to leave your group??? Secondly.. I havent been online since about 2 this afternoon.. I have been in class all night.. so the email never came from me... Thanks.. Let me know what the whole thing says.. send it my way... I like how people say if I am to apologize they would be open arms welcoming me and get off on a new start yet I get comments like this... And why do I still post here?? I know a few people.. and recieved some great emails... from other people other than the "head hens", who dont want to say anythign because they dont feel like listening to the cackling.. dont take those words as mine.. they are from one of your own.. I choose to post here because I feel like I should defend my character... There are good people out there... other than ones who have nothing but nastyness tosay to me... Logically make sense ... nope... dont throw stones.. I didnt write that... go ahead and post the whole email... I don't usually do this, because I think people who email nasty things to people ought to have the guts to post them publicly themselves, if they truly believe in what they write. This is what Cheyne emailed me just now: You are a real bitch! Why don't you just leave this group. |

Look lady.. I will be blunt yet again... This person doesnt have to
show their face to someone who is offering to drag them in the street and beat them.. they dont have to be scared to ruin their character.. You can say mean words to me and call me a troll... *little immature for you dont you think?* You words just make you look ignorant, not me. I'm glad my posting makes you this angry.. and I am not even trying, I have just been asking for help... and YOU DID call me an ignorant Bitch... need I remind you of your email to me? I am not afraid to say anything about myself.. my age... anything.. yet you are trying to call out one of YOUR regulars to bitch at them also.. Who cares.. they exist... they dont have to show their face to you... Just know they exist..thats all that matters... That is for that person to reveal their face... not me.. CNYstitcher wrote in message ... I responded to like words from this troll when I said these things. And I certainly do wish that she would either stop lying about getting this group from a frequent poster, or that she and the poster would fess up. ANY regular member here knows the rules and guidelines by now......or is this person ashamed that they encouraged this behavior from an unknown? Cheyne wrote: I have gotten many great emails up until I got a nice letter from CNYstitcher saying that I was an ignorant snotty little bitch last night. Of course when words are thrown at me I will throw them back. |

(shyly)... how do you feel about quilting and do you do much stitching?
I for one am interested. Would love to hear about all the goodies you do and since I know you love to cook, do you do chocolate? juliasb Cheyne wrote: So thats the email you got from me huh???

Like I said earlier I have may not have the same information on ng's as others. It would be nice that I am not totally losing my mind. ???? thanks juliasb It doesn't seem to be expressly forbidden in the charter (buried in he http://www.faqs.org/faqs/crafts/textiles/faq/part1/) but that is certainly implied by a lack of mention of advertisements in the list of what it's for. It might be argued by some, though, that offering quilty stuff for sale (or offering to buy) is in fact discussion of quilts or quilty matters and so is allowable. The rationale offered for the chartering of rec.crafts.textiles.marketplace, however, implies more strongly that non-.marketplace groups in r.c.t are not for advertisements. (http://users.rcn.com/kdyer.dnai/arch_vote2.html) Even if it didn't, I'd say the mere existence of r.c.t.m strongly implies that buy/sell/trade posts should not be made in the other groups in the hierarchy. The above links were found in this Google search: ('charter rec.crafts.textiles.quilting') http://www.google.com/search?q=chart...utf-8&oe=utf-8 This information was not difficult to find, but not entirely intuitive for newcomers those who may not know they exist. Therefore I think some degree of forgiveness, and a little gentle guidance to r.c.t.m, is justified for first-time rule breakers. The Earthlink news server I get this group from has messages going back at least as far as 6/15/03, and the only posts about the FAQ I see are from today. Perhaps a link to the FAQ page should be posted regularly, maybe biweekly or so? JA - who finally read the other FAQ postings after composing most of this and knows it's a little redundant, but, dang it, is gonna' post this anyway! |

Way to go Sharon
Loren in Seattle "Sharon Harper" wrote in message u... Okay, I'm going to step in here and reveal a secret - my starting weight at WW. NO-ONE except the weigher chick at WW knows this. I'm loathe to admit it because I am deeply embarassed. I weighed in at 125 kilos (that's roughly 250 pounds). You say your mom is 100 pounds overweight - that is not life and death, sad, not beneficial to her health yes, but not lethal. You mum needs to work with her GP, and if necessary a specialist. She doesn't have to alter her life dramatically - just cutting out butter on toast/bread can help her to lose a pound a week which would very quickly add up. That's what I'm doing at the moment - little changes - and they have added up to going from a tight size 26 to a comfortable size 18 in six months. And what's better - IT HASN'T COME BACK!! -- Sharon From Melbourne Australia (Qof DU) http://www.geocities.com/shazrules/index.html Member of the Houston 2004 Party Animals "Cheyne" wrote in message om... I do work full-time... I WORK 60 HOURS a week.... as a pastry chef in a restaurant in downtown Houston... I live in a CRAPPY apartment, which I just moved into just so I could take a cut in rent... to help my mom... I now live on the bottom floor so my mom can come visit me because she cant walk up stairs at all..I cant take a semester off, I am enrolled in a private college *Art Institute* where I have 40,000 dollars I owe regardless if I attend or not, my butt is signed into that for life. If I take a semester off, they bill me for it as if I was still attending, I also currently have a 4.0 GPA and have a few women chef scholarships that ride on me being in attendance, or I will lose those too... So in otherwords, you tell me to give up the only chance I have to succeed in life to help my mom yet I am doing everything I can to help her.... I get no sleep.. I work and do homework all day long... I have no car... I am sewing quilt blocks to TRY AND raise some extra money besides what I set aside from the cut in my rent.... I am still a child... what can you say you knew at 22?? The same as you know now???? If thats the case then I should be a genius?? I have a whole life to learn, and being 5 feet tall doesnt help any. My mom is over 100 lbs overweight... she has done the research believe me... She knows this can help her, everything else hasnt... AT least its a shot... You make it sound like, if you had a chance to survive from cancer by getting chemo one more time, you wouldnt do it... just because it COULD have the possibility of NOT working... Its worth the try... You arent trying to slam me, yet everything you said was a direct slam... I am doing what I can.... I work, I MAINTAIN a 4.0 GPA, I cut my rent back... I am living on a sandwich a day, sewing quilt blocks.... and consistently attending all classes and school which run from 7 in the morning to 11 at night... I didnt ask to be hurt... and if anything... my feelings have just been crushed... I didnt ask for you to give me money... I just asked to trade... :*( If you were hurt, you would want your daughter to do the same... or would you be honored your daughter did this?? MY mom doesnt know I am doing this for her... I just want to repay her for the love and support she has given me... CNYstitcher wrote in message ... Cheyne wrote: I was referred here by someone in another group in another place who also posts here and said that this group likes to trade quilt blocks. You really should say who referred you as this is not something that a regular member would do a daughter who is only 22, I am just a child asking for some help. These last 2 statements are contradictory. A person who is 22 can no longer be considered a child. Also, if the situation is so dire, not returning to college for a semester might be a better option - instead, what about working full-time to help earn the money needed to defray the cost of medical treatment? Everything I have read has said that gastric-bypass surgery is something that is *not considered for tha majority of people, and they must be at least 100 pounds overweight. In reading your original post, you have mentioned issues that affect my mother as well - thyroid problems, blood pressure, arthritis. I am not asking for help for my mother, but am doing everything I can to see that she gets the help that she needs. She is still able to work, adn so she does so. She takes medicine for her thyroid, which may or may not help, medicines for depression and fibromyalgia, and who knows what else as she has chosen NOT to keep me posted of her continuing medical troubles. Several times, my DH and I have sent her money to help her out with finances because she needed to use her money for doctors visits and medicines. I am not trying to slam you, just suggesting that, instead of furthering your education (especially if there are children at home that your mother is having difficutly taking care of), take time to work and earn some money to help with everything. College will still be there. |
