I hope this is taken the way I mean it and not the way some people will think I mean it...I don't think it's a conscious thing (more)

Posted by Jim (aka Jim) Mar 9 '10, 13:13

but quite often on these boards, when illnesses come up or symptoms are discussed, loosi is very quick to chime in with "worst-case" scenarios. Whether it happened to her or she heard about it.

As a parent, that's NEVER what anyone wants to hear and it's why parents should never, ever look up the child's illness on the internet.

As everyone knows, loosi and I have our differences but I don't, for a second, think that she would purposely try to scare a parent.

At the same time...it is the kind of thing to maybe think about before posting to someone who's sharing info about a sick kid.

Again...I hope this comes off the way I mean it to.
