KelBel To Debbie - I was saddened to switch over from the DoD group to this international group only to learn that you still had the need to get in the last word.

In the future it would suit you better to ...See MoreTo Debbie - I was saddened to switch over from the DoD group to this international group only to learn that you still had the need to get in the last word. This side of you is NOT your most flattering. Generally, you have been very optimistic but this recent rant speaks volumes about your true personality. In the future it would suit you better to simply leave the conversation instead of holding the club that beats the dead horse. Having the last word really does not mean that you "win". Instead it portrays you as spiteful and negative - all the things that you feel you are not. Obviously, I don't know you...I'm just shedding light from the perspective of an observer.

To Dave - Like everything in life, I take from it what I can learn and grow from and I disregard the rest. I have enjoyed your posts. If for no other reason, they keep me entertained. You also helped me gain some courage on the international scene. Your bopping around from country to country inspires me.

To D. Thomas - I really think that you should be in politics. No matter what the issue, you have a way of always presenting yourself so diplomatically. I want to be like you when I grow up. For the sake of others, I want to formally and publicly thank D. for his continued support and valuable knowledge regarding the international teaching scene. I'm thrilled to be moving to Asia in August - thanks in great part to him. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

D. Thomas Aw shucks. Twern't nothing. I appreciate that but it's not necessary. I really do enjoy spreading the word about the possibilties for teachers overseas (especially given the economy and the shrinking opportunities elsewhere). And hopefully you're still thanking me in a couple of years.

Although come to think of it, saying I should be in politics could be taken a couple of ways. But I'll take it in the good way I guess. Thanks!

Debbie---->Kelbel Hi:

Well, I have been on this site for months so I did not just switch over.

Well, I have been on this site for months so I did not just switch over. We had thought about taking the international route, but plans may be changing again as hubby is thinking about finishing off his masters degree. You are correct. When I get upset I have a thing about getting the last word. It is not my most flattering part of my personality. I don't think Dave is a bad guy. I just think that there are some things that should not be posted. I generally have been very optimistic, but I lost it and it does happen. I think everyone is entitled to lose it once in a while. I am not a spiteful person and I am not a negative person. I was just upset. I am the kind of person that when I am your friend, I am your friend for life. I will give the shirt off of my back. I am a very compassionate person. Sorry you had to see my "bad" side. Congratulations on getting a job in Asia. Where are you going? China, Japan...?
