SINSULL, your offer is very generous, and I appreciate your heart. Your offer would help a lot of people. Unfortunately there are many "barriers" remaining that your kind offer doesn't cover. I find this true at so many events I attend-- a facility meets handicap regulations on paper, but it still logistically beyond what I (and many others) can manage. This event is just one more in a series of things I have not been able to do-- and I am not trying to make a mess or a big deal over it. All I said was that an "All Shawls PROJECT" (I was writing about a calendar approach) limited to Getaway participants would be personally painful to me. Hey, you know, whatever.... it used to be possible to share a feeling or an opinion in a Mudcat thread and not engender numerous defensive rejoinders. Maybe it's because I'm having a bad patch, but it sure seems like a different Mudcat these days.
