I didn't think you meant it to come across the way it did, and I also admit
to being prickly (its Monday morning in the worst possible way! <g>). I have
learned over the years to speak up about things like this, as I am sure
you've noticed with the pregnancy, people often say things that aren't
intended to be hurtful but can come across that way simply due to no one
commenting on their use of the language.
And I apologize for commenting to the list directly, I was hoping to educate
others at your expense and that was wrong.
Mea Culpa,
Isis

I apologize for the way this comment came out. I did not mean any
offense to people who are disabled, but it did come out very wrong in
the way this was worded. I will be much more careful in the future and
offer sincere apologies. As someone who supports many charities for the
disabled and has many disabled friends (mentally and physically), I
should know better. For those who wrote to chastise me, I deserved it.
