Dear Glenda, I must have missed the beginning of the conversation. I still don't know what the uproar was all about. But sometimes I have tunnel vision. I prefer life to be full of sunshine, we have enough clouds as it is. I sometimes put on blinders and wander through ignoring the mess of the world. One thing you must remember, there are some people in this world that have to prove themselves to be the master of nothing that matters. As far as leaving the passing of info to the "experts" I think that would be a shame. Your information sparked a discussion, some pro some con. It was a catalyst. It made some people think. It made some people come out of their shells, even if only for a 2 sentence post. To the rest of them, those who would be critical- you also gave them a chance to air their greivances with life- by directing it at something as non-essential as the definition or proper usage of the word "Ghost". It taught some of us about areas we had never heard of, and gave some of us ideas to pass away a few hours holding hubby's hand and wandering through the woods. To some of us who have lived in the area, it brought enjoyment. We experienced pleasure at being reminded of places once here, now lost to the imagination of a time long past. So, please don't let others dictate what you do. Never be afraid to try something new.
