Mr. Burr -
I am going to be nice since it is the holidays...I believe I had an issue with you in the past about your being SO rude to members of this forum. If it were up to me, I would so kick you out! You are the 'UN'professional one here, sir. Didn't your mother EVER teach you that if you have nothing nice to say, then don't say it?
I never claimed to be a professional pen turner. I am learning every single day with every pen I make. I do not claim to be perfect. I can admit, because I am a human being with feelings and emotions, unlike yourself, that it has been an off day for me. I have a dad with not one type of cancer, but TWO who has always been a go-getter and NEVER complained or was RUDE, unlike yourself. My daughter is a chemo patient at 29....and my son happens to be sick, in bed, for the past 1.5 weeks. I also hold down a stressful job protecting people and property, even if they happen to be RUDE! I have to deal with people like you every single day on my beat and I thought I could come here to find a little human kindness. I appreciate all members who have helped me past and present - thank you. Please, MR. BURR, do me a favor and do not respond to my postings if you can help it.
Happy holidays and I hope Santa has some kindness in his heart and doesn't put COAL in your stocking this Christmas! Maybe next year, if you are a good, kind boy, you will get a nice present under the tree.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, sir. I would gladly give you mine if you would like it.
Michelle
