Well Sharon, all that into account and all, I said what I would say anytime and in almost any context. I gave up long ago on the "intrigue" aspects and as far as this Guest/Member is concerned, I have no idea who or what or anything else.

Some 35 years ago I tried being less than up front and simply ignoring or trying to look past a difficult relationship and it was within my own family. I should have confronted the situation and my culpability then. I blew it and now that one can never be resolved as the person is long dead....and I still feel those twitches of shame. I swore then and I tell you and anyone who asks now, that the only way to experience life is by being upfront......good or bad, wrong or right......for me, that's the only way it works.

So Guest, please don't be offended by what I said, I just don't see it many other ways.
