Hello,

I  tend not to involve myself in what I  consider "negative talk". I , as a
newer member of the group, believe we all have the right to speak. Longevity
does not give a  member more privilege over another. Since we all pay the
same amount for dues, we are all equal.

I  waited a  few days, as I  often do, to let this email stew. We all need
to be thoughtful prior to pressing the send key on all emails. I  find when
I  am irritated about an issue, if I  stop and re-read what I  am preparing
to send to the world, I  often update my statement and sometimes do not send
it at all.

I  am not writing this to begin a  long conversation as who has privilege
versus who does not, I  am writing to ask members to consider who  is
receiving your message. As a  new member, what you write is what helps me to
form an opinion of you. When we are thoughtful to one in this arena, we all
know it. We all know the reverse as well.

In conclusion, I  appreciate what anyone has done to further the goals of
this group. Joyce leads the way. As a  President of a  local Chapter, I know
the weight and where it can fall. In the opinion of Michelle, you are doing
a  great job!

Thanks,,

Michelle

Well, I have been quiet since Thursday and so has the list. So, as usual I
will speak out. I have been here 7 years and that gives me the right, so if
anyone reading is is upset, Press Delete Key right here. I joined this list
to talk back and forth with other crafters and vision impaired people like
me. There is no other list like this one out there. Yes, the list gets a
little wordy once in a while and you do have to pick and chose what you want
to read. However, these messages are coming from people I consider friends
and I want to share their losses and their good times. I want they to know I
have been around for awhile and this is not just a craft group, but someone
is really praying for them and really cares, even if I can not be there one
on one. If this group is too chatty for you, there is something wrong with
you. If you do not post back, shame on you, you are the one with the
problem. No I do not want to hear every little thing, but I do want to know
about the healings and the accomplishments of ribbons and awards even if it
was for a apple pie at the fair. There is nothing better to know that you
can share with others. So list, keep posting, I for one am listening and
reading.If KK is for everyone, please share, and we can use the delete key.
I agree we need to be careful to Ot or change Subject lines, but if you have
a blessing to share, or a proud moment to ell, Post it. We grow, not because
we can make a craft, but for the caring group of people we are. If that
changes I will be the first to unsubscribe. If anyone heard anything at the
Membership meeting and you feel you have to change things you post, please
know that was Not coming from the entire group. If there is a problem with
too much posting or Ot messages they will be addressed, I for one want the
list to go on as it was and with the notices coming out monthly on how KK
operates it will all be good. I have made wonderful friends here, do not
know if others can say that, and I feel badly for them. So keep posting, and
the others who do not want to post or read the list, place a Huge Bump Dot
on that Delete key as they drink Pickle Juice.

Respectfrully submitted for all those who I love on this list.

Terry Knox
