Re: Private; Videos snipits for Robert Pries

[Robert Pries <robertpries@embarqmail.com>]

I did something I deeply regret. I posted an e-mail to AIS discuss by accident that was only meant for one person to hear. It voiced my frustration with another board member. Since I did not name that person in my post I will not do so now. But I am apologizing to them in the same forum in which I was critical. I voiced the opinion that I was frustrated by their complaints because they have not made it to board meetings and essentially I felt they did not know the details of the issue. I do not wish anyone to think that I do not think this person is not a good person. That type of reading into a statement is not fair. And I was probably guilty of jumping to conclusions about their knowledge also. I do think they are a great irisarian. I did not wish to create them distress. I have missed board meetings also. And I should not jump to a conclusion that they do not know what is going on. In their post they expressed many intelligent questions that I do not have the full answers!
  to and are pertinent to the question that was raised. The fact that I also noted in my post that I am not handling the mental stress well of putting down my dog is no excuse, but perhaps you will be a bit less harsh in your judgement of me. I wish to proclaim my public apology. I hope that this does not color my friendship for this person greatly. I respect them as greatly an irisarian. Even if we may feel criticism as a board member I should not has responded badly. Again I responded badly. Perhaps I am too thin skinned and in my present state take offence too easily. Perhaps I care too much. I hope my apology will be accepted. Any of these comments should not and were not directed towards others who may have expressed similar opinions. I do not expect everyone ever to agree on anything. Anyone who tries to translate my angst and misspeaking to anyone else is totally off base.

Janet: I am sorry to not get back to you sooner, you have no idea how bad my life is this last week or so. I have a dog dying of cancer and between trying to keep him loved, comfortable and diagnosed I am just a psychological mess and have been at veternarian offices more than not. We have have to put two other dogs down this spring and trying to make the decision of when to terminate something you love has taken a toll. I am afraid my patience has worn a bit thin and probably should not be responding to any e-mails and especially when they are complaining people who have not contributed to solutions but delight in creating problems. I am not talking about you. It is sad to see a director comment about problems when they have missed more meetings than they have been at and have never bothered to find out much information. I greatly appreciate your asking about the videos. I need to work on a proper list but essentially we are trying to duplicate some of the types of things s!
 een in the daylily video. In otherwords clips that say convention, judges training, garden touring, showing. I feel like I am in sensory overload right now. Besides the dog I am trying to learn all new programs on my computer and trying to keep all the other balls in the air, The encyclopedia has had some fits I needed to fix. Why does everything come at once. I hope you are doing much better than I am.
