Good evening Iris robin folks...
I owe you all a supreme explanation & apology.... I am SO used to having the
sender's name come up when hitting that reply button (like it is on the
Daylily list) that I keep forgetting it is NOT that way on Iris-talk. I was
TRYING to respond to my good friend Ruth Simmons cutesy story on Mary Ann
Holman (although after this they may suddenly cease to acknowledge ever even
knowing me) & the extremely funny Raspberry Fudge story... Sounds just like
something Mary Ann would do!
Further, a short while earlier I was keying up an article for & from a '99
Natl' tour gardener in OKC to Walters, OK for Ruth to have so she could get it
included in the next Region 22 Newsletter... There was a minor typewriter
"typo" on the original hard copy that was simply 20 years off (1977 instead
of 1997) and was readily catchable, but I certainly NEVER intended for all in
the entire iris world to know about it. I will owe Mr. P a personal apology
over the phone now as well...
Lesson Learned: Before ever responding to messages, especially ones you want
to put personal notes onto (#*(&@!) be SURE to key in the individual sender's
address OVER the iris-talk@onelist.com so you will not have to confess to the
whole iris world what stoooopid thing you have done like I am doing now...
Otherwise, your message goes out to the entire Iris-talk list....
I should have learned this lesson yesterday when I "FAUX PAS'd" on the
proscuitto ham incident intending to only send a response to Walter Moores &
Kathy Guest... The proscuitto really made the entree sound wonderful & I was
only trying to help Walter picture it as he had probably already seen
proscuitto ham in various national chain type restuarants that just "happen"
to have buffet type serving lines... I have now "also" embarrassingly
broadcast "that" unappetizing comment to the entire iris internet world as
well...
Please forgive me... And thank goodness I didn't say anything worse!
Poore Kathy (red in the face) in Oklahoma City... trying to catch up on all
these messages a little "too" quickly---as I now sit here with egg on my face
as well...
