to Vaisnavi about the crabs

[Guest guest]

Dear Vaisnavi ~ if you can simply ignore Tom's posts, don't even read

them, you will find that this group is a safe place. In fact I would like to

suggest that we all simply stop responding to Tom's posts.

 

There is always one crab that will come and try to snap at your feet. When

I was a little girl, I would go to my grandparents in the country. My

grandfather crabbed and fished. When I would go with him, I would have to put my

feet up on the board meant for sitting, for a crab or two would always

escape, and I felt that the crab really had it in for me. It would scurry over

to my feet; I had to be fast to get out of the way. Similarly, when my

grandpapa would cook the crabs (big pot outdoors), some would always escape

and chase me around the yard. I felt very sad for the crabs but that did not

keep me from running away.

 

I will echo Max when I say again, please stay with us. We are not all

crabs.

Blessings ~ Linda

P.S. I did not blame the crabs for their actions. Even as a little girl I

somehow knew they were only acting according to their nature.

No offense was meant, but what you had presented could

not go ignored in the fashion you presented it...
