Oh Margie. You don't talk the same way as I do but who cares! I've been around long enough to not judge people because of the way they talk (or look or many other points of difference) and to actively enjoy that others are different from me in the way they express themselves. My Mum was a lady (much more than me) but she didn't bring me up to be a wowser. If you were addressing 10 year olds, I might ask you to tone it down but as far as I know, we are all adults on this site. What's a bigger deal is losing you and your generosity and advice from this site. There are a number of women who are active and experienced taking part in many of the discussions and providing support and assistance to others. YOU are one of them and I don't think that we can afford to lose your contribution.
