Re: Messed up AC today!
Posted by to Louisa on 5/16/08

    My point was that you might have misread the intent of the post and assumed
    someone was being confrontational when it might have been the original
    poster trying to be supportive.
    Louisa, I wish you well. This has been a grueling few months. Wouldn't it be
    wonderful if all of the posters on this site passed? This blog has been a
    great help to me... and even our little banter has been a nice diversion as
    I prepare for the AC!
    1 more thing... I'm a minority southerner. Everyone is "Honey" to me. Term
    of endearment in my neck of the woods...
