Hi Ewa, How you doin'? Thanks for the little "Thank You" note. Yeah, I might just do that, visit your profile that is, and see all the stuff you've got there. I'm not here at DN that often. My (Our) best friends live in Payson, UT. Is it just as bitingly cold up there in NY as in UT?. Here in Germany, we average around minus 8-10 Degrees Centigrade.Anyway was nice saying HELLO to you. Have a great one.

Hi Ed, posted a few pictures of the winter in Germany. These are from yesterday the 29th. November 2012. And this is just a taste of what is to come. I like winter but not where I am. Winter time is too expensive.Robert

Hi there Eddie, or should I say Edward...No no no, I think you reacted normally, I probably would have done the same or worse, 'cause I'm kind of over-sensitive myself and I would hate myself to deliberately hurt someone else's feelings. So no apologies please, I got this ball rolling so I guess I deserved the onslaught of a couple of responses. I like your story, very touching too. I can see you are a person one can relate to and open up. I wrote a letter of apology to Betsey, so that's cleared up. Go ahead read it.It's awesome, your occupation, Truck Driving, Wow! Wonder if you enjoy travelling to all those places.I've travelled a lot too, many many countries. I used to work on Passenger Liners, stewarding. I also worked as a Television and radio programme Editor. Then I tried my hand at nursing and caring for the old and handicapped.There you are, so now you know a little bit about me. By the way, I'm from Germany. Feel free to reciprocate if you feel like it.A Merry Christmas to You and your Family

Hi there Betsey,First things first.Maybe I owe you an apology, so here it is straight out of the horses mouth, I'm SORRY. How about that. And you know what, I didn't shrink in size or lose face in the process either. But something nice came out of this little misunderstanding, I hope, I now know a very nice gentle polite person somewhere in Indiana. Sometimes good things come out of a bad situation.Incidentally, I am from Germany, a Cancerian just like you and bla bla bla...A very personal Merry Christmas to you and yours. If you feel like reciprocating, go ahead.Best wishes, Robert
