Dear Pook.....

I want to apologize for offending you. My comment was no more than me makeing a comment about "dumb blond" or "red neck" which I have often refered to here on this bb in regards to myself. As you know, I poke fun at myself and friends and had no idea that it would offend you, my jewish friends make remarks to my dress and their own (nope, not saying what at this point,stop smoking, don't want to offend again) and we realize it is not taken seriously,stop smoking now, we love each other and know there is a bond that goes past the joking .....the people I "hang" with are a quite a bit more lighthearted and not as uptight as some that are on this bb (no, we do not walk on egg shells around each other). I do feel for your friend in Iran, it is sad about their political situation and I cried a river when I saw the shooting of the young women when the protest was going on. Again, I consider you a wonderful person here on this bb and respect your opinions. I do hope you will not hold this against me, as I said, it was not done to offend you and I am sorry it did.
