I don't think I'm going to DAP.....UPDATED!!!! READ POST #89 on PG. 6!!!!

[UrsulasShadow]

I really do want to go..but it seems like some of the people that are going aren't going to be that receptive to me. It seems like when I think I might have found someone to connect with on a friend level and I describe myself and my family....all of a sudden...I don't hear from them anymore.

This kinda hurts and I don't know what to do

Something that I was soooo looking foward to might not happen. I know this may seem trivial to some people, but I don't wanna go somewhere where I make people feel uncomfortable....

What to do?? I really wish I had someone to talk to in person.....

I mean..am I just being stupid and just go?? What would you guys do??

We deal in language on this board, not race. I can't see you, I won't ever judge you on that. I'm not color blind, but I go out of my way to fight any racism and bigotry left from past generations of my family.

I think that early on, your exuberance probably put a few people off. It was all in the language. I admit...I cringed a few times over the overly zealous use of the letter "F". After all, this is a family board, and if my children were young enough not to be actually USING that language, I'd be pretty angry. Not that my language is sweet and clean, but I do try to take into account the many and varied sorts of people that may read what I post.

I hope you do come. I would love to meet you! You sound fun, energetic, and excited. And no, you won't make friends with everyone. How could you? There are HUNDREDS of us!

But if you come away with 10 or 20 new friends, it may be worth the effort.

OK...I'll apologize to you, too!!! I've said over and over again just how sorry I was for that post and I truly mean it. It looked like just about everyone who was in the DAP thread was an adult so I just assumed that everyone would've laughed it off..or been like..Terrie..you're not havin a bad day are you?!?! LMAO!!! Stuff like that. I had no intentions of any way, shape, or form of upsetting people. So..I personally apologize to you and yours!! I hope you can forgive me!! If I go...can I buy you a slushie?!?!?

Very well said. Way to go, Mindy. I have no idea what color, shape, or size people are unless they post pictures.

Thank you to everyone who has responded!! While I only meant for this to be more of a venting/WWYD thread, I guess I can see where some of you might have thought I generalizing everyone into one group!! I, of all people, should know how that feels!!

I apologize to everyone! I guess I should've worded it differently or simply came and asked "if this was you..what would do?...." Then maybe I wouldn't have offended anyone.

Alot of you have some very nice, truthful words!! Some of them stung a lil to me...but then again..truth hurts sometimes, doesn't it?!?! So...I will seriously consider going...I still have my hotel ressies...although I don't have a clue how to make aiplane ressies

I was just thinking the same thing! WOW Nikki!!!

The UNO woman lost a whole person! That is FANTASTIC! Way to go!



And baby1 - If it was PM's and emails, then contact those people to find out what they meant by something they said or didn't say. I am sure they did not mean any harm and if was race that turned them off...shame on them!
