My Angel has the fight of a thoroughbred.

Sometimes analogies and symbolism is only way I can describe my awe for certains things that the universe shows and shares.

It would take about 3 weeks of abusive messages from you for me to lose any respect for you Terri...but I don't think you have a disrespectful bone in your body hun.

One particular saying reminds of some individuals:

"It is better to keep your mouth shut, and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it beyond doubt" (something like that <img src=""> )

Think Lincoln said it.


Edited to add "dis" lmao...hope you didn't read that. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

Not offended at all. It never would have even dawned on me that you were trivializing a human's suffering by mentioning a horse until someone made that up. I only saw your post as a comment on courage and a fighting spirit. I appreciate you acknowledging that it takes both to live with cf every day.

My first response to the Barbaro topic was similar to sakasuka's,
and I thought someone with CF had died, based on the title of the topic, but it was a horse. After much thought, I feel the story about Barbaro, although not related to CF, is very special, but should have originated in the OT section.

The post was in off topic, so whats the tizzy about?
You didn't offend me at all Terri, your posts are always thoughtful, sincere and kind. You were using an analogy, and it was fitting.
Whats the difference between that and the famous footsteps in the sand picture that makes an analogy between walking on the beach and angels/losing ones that we love? Are they daring to compare a loved one dying to a walk on the beach!???!!!!???! YES!

Maybe your analogy wasn't the one that Amy or Emily or someone else would use, but it was your thought and you have a right to express your feelings just like they do. You don't dare have to apologize for anything. These people need to chill the heck out and get lives outside of this place.

To tell you the truth, when I saw it before it was moved to the Off-Topic section from the Adult area, I did think -- gimme a break and chose not to read it. Still haven't read it.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Shrug.

This is the admirable way to handle things. Not everyone can or will do that. If it bugs them, they say so! I personally thank you for it!
