Good Friday Morning to You!
This is something that has been tugging at my heart to write.
At first, I just wanted to sell you a new product I discovered but thought it sounded kinda silly. However, here goes:
"This is a new ointment that is now on the market and believe me it works!! The directions are to apply in small amounts maybe once a day for mild symptoms. However, if you have a sudden outbreak, you may want to apply at least 3x a day. Dear Friends, I got some of this stuff and since my case was so severe, I applied in ample amounts several times a day!! It worked!! I now have ALLIGATOR HIDE!!"
If you would like to purchase several tubes of this miracle cream, called fittingly, "Alligator Hide Cream", just send $5 to my PayPal account and immediately it will show up at your door. Also, we have some beachfront property for sale in Kansas if you are interested!!
Now for the reason of this post. Shirley Caron has had a forum thread going for the past month. I posted there a little while ago and have copied the post here also. I don't want to convey the idea that I am 'hiding' behind someone else's forum. Here is the link to her wonderful forum and I see most of you have already posted there. Thank you!!
What Are Friends For?
Shirley, thank you for this forum, and I do appreciate this:
This is my own Forum that I have put up. It's not from some Magazine or Book, but, my own Thoughts and Comments.
This is much better to read than what you copy from others.
It is with regret that I missed this forum. I could have used it about the time it was going on.
Having read through all of the posts in here and all the things about friends and friendship warms the heart. So much love and understanding in this community.
May I state here, friends, when someone lashes out at another Adlandpro friend (even without calling names), PLEASE don't just jump on the bandwagon without asking questions. The person could be your best friend here or a strong supporter. Why do our 'friends' act so quickly to criticize each other? We should remain supportive and question 'what really happened' instead of taking one person's statement as being the true one. Remember there are always 2 sides to an issue.
In the last few weeks, there has been a rash of hurt feelings, sad posts, people threatening to leave because of, etc. If we don't know the REAL picture, we should stop and ask ourselves "Do I want to condemn someone if I don't even know who I am condemning?"
Shirley, I thank you again and I hope that before our friends start judging and condemning each other again, they will think about this forum and read through it again. There have been some profound statements made here and this is what Adlandpro is all about.
Some may disagree with me but I can attest to the fact that I have been one of those who was highly criticized and judged even when 'my friends' had no idea who they were referring to. It hurt deeply but I had to stand back and realize they were only being sympathetic. I am about to recover but there are scars and I learned who my true friends are.
Bless you & yours and continue with this type of posting. It is a big help for this community.

This is not to 'stir up' something that has already been put behind me. It is to point out again that none of us are perfect. With so much hostility going on in this world, we need to support each other and spread LOVE AND HUGS!! Not HATRED!! If you just must send hate mail don't send it to me, from now on, it will be deleted and you take the chance of being deleted from my friend's list. I refuse to acknowledge anymore 'hate' mail and some even think I am scared of them!! My fur does not stand up often but when it does, those claws can dig deep. This, my dear friends, is answer to a THREAT I received and nothing to do with any of you who remain my true friends. Yep, them sound like fightin' words but they are not, I simply will not respond to anymore controversy.
Now that is off my heart and remains within what this forum is all about, Expressions of Nature.
Sincerely,
Sara
