Jess, about this last discussion. I posted three times. Once I suggested a fix but also let you know a little forcefully that what you were suggesting was wrong. (or at least wrong as far as my three plus years experience plus my thirty odd years life time esperience). The second time I merely posted how a petsitter can be used for the whole board to see. Plus I write that the message was really for everyone. I also posted on GliderIsland the same advice with no personal comments. I also defended myself to mr gliders comments. I was not abusive and cetrianly not nearly as abusive as you were to me or others were to you. Yet you post yet another message blasting me. I did post a good way that people can responsibly go away for a vacation and still have gliders. I do not personally wish anyone harm but wish gliders even less. It is my nature taht if I see a post that seems to suggest harm to a glider through sentiment or miswording I try to suggest a better way. Being clear about how to look after gliders is essential if miscommunication would lead someone to inadvertently harm their pet.
You write about how much you know. Congratulations Jess, after three years all I know is how much I DO NOT KNOW. there are few real experts here but many people that wish to be thought of as such. Gliders are fragile and small. And I hope that few people find that out. We are all here basically not because of me, or GliderNet or bourbon or this page. Most of this stuff on the net came about because of Ruth Grove including Leadbetters which she introduced to everyone but STILL didnt take the credit for.
Talking like this hopefully does save glider lives but please be aware that thinking this board centres round anyone is not wise. Despite the feeling that sometimes i am unwelcome I post for the gliders I can save. Oh and look at those posts again Jess I got a lot of flak and most of it about the things said in the anonymous posts which were NOT mine.
anyway this is just my post Thanksgiving thoughts. and this year I gave thanks for evetually finding my rescue gliders good homes, for all the love they gave me and the glider babies I got to nurture (plus all my chinnie family)!
