[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Relationships, learning and sharing

Wed Oct 27 22:03:17 UTC 2021

Bottom line ladies and gentlemen, it would be great if we could all try to do a better job with subjects. I know I personally get so many emails that I depend on the subject line clarity. That being said, let’s all be patient with each other when it’s not perfect. I’m not all try to work together to make it better. Today I have no Internet and email has been a struggle, so I have not changed subjects here. I am sure there are days when all of us are in this situation, so let’s have a lit4tle kindness on all sides of this issue and pick it up from here..g
