<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings Caerell, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Oh I am so sorry you were offended. And I'm very
sorry it hit a hot button with you. Ameline was only trying to motivate
some other fathers, who are not in your situation, to participate in helping
with her activities. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I must say you are doing a great job of parenting your 2
boys....... every time I am around them they are the model of politeness,
enthusiasm, and hard work that is the core of our organization. You
are to be commended, you have taught them the meaning of hard work and to take
pride in their actions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Might I make a suggestion.......... next time your hot
button goes off......... simply take it to the person who hit your hot
button. Ameline is a very considerate person and had she known about your
feelings she could have taken actions as to not offend you. Many times I
say things that offends others (my mouth gets me in trouble more times than I
like to admit) but alas I don't know about my faupaux unless somebody tells
me. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I very much hope this innocent phrase does not
cause you to harbor ill will and stop coming to Elfsea populace meetings.
</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">It is like saying that just because I am not a

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">Please stop using this saying, It grates on my
nerves everytime I hear it.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">This is one of the reasons that I don't like
Elfsea Moot as I am sure to hear it from the Minister of Children.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">Yes I agree that many spouses leave the raising
of children up to only one of the parents, BUT it is not always the Father
that is running off to Fighter practice. </DIV>
