I still haven't received it. Could you double check on your end to see that it really got sent if you did send it then we have to blame the entities that the email goes through on its way to me. You know , like the email could wind up in someone's office, who would modify it to say something that would strain our relationship.

I hate to say this, but this is bordering on passive aggression. You know where somebody promises to do something and they don't making the other person feel bad. I had a so-called friend here that told me "you know what donnn, I'm passive aggressive , people tell me that all the time " and I told him that well that's nice. That's the number one relationship destroyer.

I do know that you've had neurosurgery but there's been some mixup in that I did not invite you to America . 17 years ago maybe but you couldn't come because you couldn't find your passport so sorry about the confusion I wish I could somehow help you out with your being lame but you are 6000 miles away . i'm sorry if I have been unkind to you in any way.
