Ièm back a day sooner than I thought I would be, and I have some apologies.

Feather:
If you were given a PM, regarding me, I would like to apologige if it sounded threatning. I'd like to give you a view of my world. Every since I was six, I was strongly fixated on London, to the point where I should have been born there. I've also been dealing with a five year obsession with Cockneys and London's East End. I feel very out of place in Canada, even though I was born there. And since the day of the Bombings, I was keeping my perspective in check. It was hard at times, but whenever the 6 0 clock News was on, I was doing my best to see things through the eyes of your people. Even though I felt slightly condecended, at first, after taking a short three day break, it all makes sense to me. I appreciate that you were trying to help the way that you can. If I was a real woman, I would have discussed this with you, three days ago.

The very first Cockney to be born in Canada :D

I would also like to apologise to everybody about my colourful language. The word, Bloody might not be offensive to North Americans, but I'm sure that I've shocked a lot of British Members, and I apologise. :D

I think there's much worse things that can happen in the world than seeing the word bloody. If you're not prepared for petty little words then you shouldn't use the internet.

I think most Brits have a fairly liberal view of swearing CR - bloody is pretty mild so I'm sure you haven't upset anyone. :)

CockneyRebel:

Are you still thinking about your indecision of whether or not to move out on your own? Is this a sign that your mood has been different?

Yeah. besides that, I posted the story up on another forums with strict rules about swearing under the heading "Holy f*****g crap!"

Believe me, we hear worse every day.

Maybe I should re-word my last bit of what I said. I know that I'm getting out of line, when I say even modified garbage words, and that I should take a break for a while. I wasn't talking about the word, Bloody offending all Brits. I had the Seniours in mind, when I was mentioning that stuff. Most Seniours tend to have ears that are more pure, and I didn't want the Seniours to think I'm raunchy. I also think that everybody has a right to speak their minds, no matter how weak, or overbearing they appear to be.

I've decided that I will be moving out, sometime within the next 5 years. If I really need to be around people, than I can visit my Parents, my Sister, or go to my Clubhouse. The happenings of the past week put into my perspective that anybody can die at any time, no matter what the cause, and that it's time for me to stop complaining about other people and to start enjoying their help and company. That's when I've decided that friends and family are now important to my well being.

No worries :)
I appreciate that what I said may have come across harsher than I meant it to. Thank you for your apology, but I apologise to you also, it was never my intention to say anything that would hurt you or make you angry.

I live in the East End of London by the way :lol: If you ever want to discuss the place or want any information about the area, please feel free to PM me :)
