99. Re Wendell hanging up on me last evening...
Hello fellow truthseekers and friends -

I just quickly wanted to stop in and express my most heartfelt thanks and appreciation for all the backup and support offered to me following last night's Johnny Wendell performance after his announcement that "Rkymtnmary" was on the line. The professional who was screening the calls was phenomenal with whom I shared a wonderful laugh.

Since the moment our "conversation" ended, I've never felt such an instantaneous rallying warmth as I've felt from all of you. I want to publicly thank you all. It was and is a precious feeling. Thank you.

Rudeness, as you guys know, (yikes! I hope!) is not my bag. However, tone, volume and attitude can carry its own edge and to that end, I'll own that there was probably a bit of THAT in my voice. What became immediately clear to me was that the person on the other end of the phone was not "listening" to me. Thus, I instantly went on professional psych nurse mode. I admit it- I'd been building all week managing my OWN assessment of the dissonance I heard while listening to him in Mike's (Unable to be Filled) slot and I really wanted to let him have it. I chose not to speak the words that were r e a l l y running through my head! In lieu of his blatant rudeness, I felt like I needed to take a step back to collect my self and my emotions. I asked him or told him (I really don't remember and I have no reason to re-listen to it, LOL) "not to/don't put words in my mouth." I think those were my first words that riled him up and after that, he couldn't listen. Consequently, it was my observance that the phone went dead in my hand. I couldn't and truthfully, still can't believe that this came from a professional, which I had hoped he would be, given he was obviously deemed appropriate for a Mike Malloy audience.

Never before have I experienced the literal sensation of what it means to have friends who "Watch Your Back." For this, you all have my utmost gratitude.

Thank you, all of you, my Fellow Travelers.
