Controversy!!!
I was asked by the moderator of one of my yahoo groups to write an essay about my feelings on the long wait for a referral from China. I worked on this task, and actually enjoyed myself writing it, much more than I ever enjoyed doing homework from school!! My essay (and a couple of others from other waiters) were added to the list yesterday evening. I managed to catch up with the lists daily postings this evening and couldn't believe the controversy my essay had caused!! One person had posted a fairly blunt, and not very supportive comment which set off a fairly major argument between this list member and other (supportive) list members!! I never realised that people would react that strongly to what I'd written - it was just a rough and ready piece of work, that was a snapshot of how I am feeling 'right now'!! The moderators stepped in and asked for calm and for people to be supportive and everything seems to have calmed down again. Is it naughty of me to enjoy the fireworks I provoked?? Yes it is - but I did lol :-) Anyway thank you to those who were supportive - I really did appreciate it :-)

I"m (apostrophe is causing the search box to appear!) glad you enjoyed the debate - I felt rotten that you got flack for your honesty. Haven"t had time to read the essay yet!
Thanks for message, have blogged, very busy having fun, nice to know we were missed.
Must meet face to face soon, with love as always,
