To All offended by my suggested protest slogans.

Please accept my sincere apology if some of the suggested slogans offended your sensibilities by the imagery they invoked.

The intent of some of the suggested slogans were to shock, and to pique and sustain further viewing of other signs, and, from there, to think further about the devasting effects of tick-borne diseases other than what is commonly read/heard of in medical terms.

After proof reading the slogans I agree with many of the sentiments, both expressed, and implied by the responses my posts elicited.

I could not attend the protest beause of serious medical issues (notlyme) in several family members, and so had to be available for them.

I saw one youtube coverage of the protest. The signs were were very good, and we had a high turn out for the protest.
Poiticians know how many people at a protest really represent, including the horns-honked in support by passersby. I hope Pallone's action is not consistent with the depraved indifference, and hostility to our suffering many healthcare professionals continue to express.

Happy Mothers Day to all,

Sincerely,
Ping Pong

Trust me, if I'd been in charge of the slogans, you wouldn't be the one apologizing. LOL

pingpong, i offer my hand to you in friendship and accept your public apology.

we've had some really good private discussions and i know 1st hand how hard it is for you to READ this board, since you have LOST majority of your eye sight and have a MAGNIFYING GLASS to the screen in order to READ EVERYTHING YOU DO!

not a fun thing to go thru daily when you have enough energy to read...

you were expressing your anger of what you/we have gone thru daily in your RANT with suggested slogans.

i just wanted others to know a little more about you and the many obstacles you have also.

best wishes pingpong! [group hug]

Whatever your suggestions, I'm sure they were 'kinder' than mine were, and I'm not apologizing for mine. It's how I feel.

Dang! I missed it!! I didn't open that thread. Sounds good! [lol]

Pingpong.. I imagine we've all felt what you expressed!

Seriously, I get really angry sometimes. This thing with Pallone for example. I knew about this punk before he even put out that "press release.".

I'm going to do whatever I can to help make sure that bill gets passed. Nothing ****es me off more than some corrupt smuck standing in the way of my recovery and that of others I've seen suffer.
