i don’t think it’s a whoosh, **guinastasia** is just that much of a moron. i’m female, by the way (saw some incorrect pronoun usage above) **erdosain** and **valerieblaise** got it right, the couple of PMs i’ve received have just been people (politely) suggesting i stop the no caps thing so other posters will quit going on about it. this is hardly implying i’ve gotten a ton of supportive messages from unnamed posters. so, **guinastasia** , i’ll say this in small words. learn to read better before posting your responses so you don’t embarrass yourself again, and take your roll eyes emoticon and shove it hard and repeatedly. thank you and goodnight. ---

> [@jsgoddess](#): > > I think there should be a SDMB Memorial Colander Fund. Something for the little people. No. If this child of an elementary school principal and social activitist can rise up on her own and attain her own colander (co-LANDER, right?!), then so can the “little people”. That’s what’s wrong with society. People trying to save people from falling through the cracks by providing them with free bowls full of holes. Don’t you see, those people will just go back and sell those colanders for drugs and booze? What’s wrong with you, **jsgoddess**? I thought you were smart. ---

You didn’t even have to tell him who you know and your background and such. He could tell you were probably related to a doctor right then and there! And expressed his relief and/or excitement about that fact! 🙂 Ah, now I read this as the doctor’s plea for help. If you can’t have the child of a doctor on the scene, second runner up is the Son of God. ---
