Knitting issues - I hope you have a store in town or at least on the way in your travels down from the mountains to go in and ask a question of - the people who run these stores are great and often want to help encourage knitters - so I'd try that.<br /><br />About your friend; it may be that she is handling some issues in her life. I know it isn't polite or kind to ignore your emails but I don't know that I'd chalk it up to wanting to end the relationship. However, I agree that you need to get it cleared up for your own peace of mind one way or the other.<br /><br />Re: politics, yep, that's a third rail type of topic but it's your blog - you have the right to bring up what you like<br /><br />I have a dear friend who does the same thing with forwarding all kinds of emails going around. Sometimes I open them and other times I just delete. I personally don't forward stuff and keep other email addresses on, it is lazy and can be rightly construed as rude.<br /><br />Now, about politics. I'm conservative and apparently Liberatarian (based on what I've learned about them) in my views. In the last election, I felt like it was hold your nose and cast a ballot. The email you must have gotten regarding our current Administration and religious icons was not from me. However, at Georgetown University prior to a speech, the Administration did cover up a cross and other religious icons that were visible in frame. I don't know of this happening anywhere else. But that's the least of our national concerns. Polite discourse is possible and should be encouraged in a free society. I'm fine if someone doesn't agree with my POV, but I only share it if the topic is put out there and introduced. I don't bring it up per se. Like the previous poster, I too appreciate your tenacity in standing up for your views. Atta girl!<br /><br />BTW, thanks for the offer to help me with some natural remedies for this respiratory bug I have. I'm on the mend, I'm taking lots of Vitamin C to try and bolster the forces of healing. Any advice would be great!Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14721780347274988492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842684642117669334.post-46624048987238685512009-10-24T21:15:13.048-07:002009-10-24T21:15:13.048-07:00Hi Kathryn,

Thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt. I don't have it all figured out, and sometimes I just need to clarify my own thoughts by writing, if you know what I mean. <br />Good luck on your project.Jena Webberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385358595707452914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842684642117669334.post-61105702119974288682009-10-24T08:59:15.293-07:002009-10-24T08:59:15.293-07:00Jazz looks cute on his cat pole.

Tell her that if you do not hear from her, you'll assume she'd prefer to throw away what you had and while that makes you sad, you will not be locking the door to future connection, but you will no longer look out the window longingly searching for your friend, but rather wait until you hear a knock and visit - perhaps with a good-will coffeecake in hand.<br /><br />LAST but MOST IMPORTANT.<br /><br />RON PAUL 2012!!!<br />I did the same thing with a write in. Politicians benefit by keeping us divided. As long as we're busy with the Us versus Them (dems/repubs) then we can't unite and demand that the government start taking OUR best interest into consideration, rather than THEIRS. <br /><br />Of course, this is a topic that I can get pretty wound up on, so I'll leave it at that.<br /><br />Peace out!Meadowlarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208672418814503032noreply@blogger.com
