Comments on: KnitWit 16: Misperceptions http://autumnbreezedesigns.com/blog/2006/05/13/knitwit-16-misperceptions/ Stories mainly concerning my passions: knitting, spinning, and fiber animals. Occasionally, I will add in general observations on life.

Your 'just confused' story reminds me of something similar that happened to another friend. He was taking another friend home & mistook the bus pull-off lane for the turn lane marking the entrance to her apartment complex. He, almost, immediately noticed his error & pulled back into his lane. Soon afterward he noticed the pretty colored lights in his rearview mirror. When the police officer asked, 'how much have you had to drink, sir?' My friend blurted (the truth), 'none.' The policeman responded, 'Would that be none-one, none-two..?' And hon, remember, just as you have the right to speak, they have the right to not listen. Heck, I exercise the right all the time. I'd much rather be listening to your stories than some of the &%$^$ on the airwaves. *snerk* son *snerk* full moon *snerk* In case it’s not clear, those little *snerks* are me snorting with laughter.

Of course you don't try to "convert" people with your stories. Unfortunately, the religious right (can't think of a more accurate term) does not give everyone else that benefit. Just picture a cute little duck, and the way the water runs off its back. Try to let the negativisms of a few work the same way on you. I love your refreshing, unique take on things!

Your podcast was entertaining to say the least, it was f---ing halarious to say the most. Keep your chin up, the only thing that matters is that you enjoy your podcasting. If the rest of the world can't handle it let them move to somewhere where there is no right to free speech. On that subject just remember that the same rights that protect your freedoms also protect the "anonymous" user. Kind of funny that people do hide and we only get to confront our accusers in a court of law. *-------------------------------------------* Editorial note:  This is from one of Wayne's friends.  I did tell the real "Mac Genius" about the podcast yesterday, when I got my iPod from the repair shop.  Maybe some day I will be honored with a visit from the real McCoy. Thanks Doug, for the laugh.  Love.  Carry. Carry,

I think your stories are great. I don't find you cursing offensive, and if I did, I would be pretty stupid to download a podcast marked "explicit" now, wouldn't I?? Why let yourself be upset by someone THAT STUPID?? Don't apologize - offer to give anyone who's offended their money back. :-) Keep up the hilarious work, Carry. Your podcasts make me laugh, smile, and nod in agreement most of the time. I am also particular with details ("A Slight Rant") and get huffy when people get huffy with me ("F#$%$ing Guard"). And I have a very dry sense of humor and get yours completely. Podcast on! Like everyone else who has commented this week - I love your podcast! I think your stories are great.

I don't want ever to hear you apologize for anything you say. As others have also noted it's your podcast - no one is forcing "anonymous" to download it. You alone control the content. Please realize that there will always be someone who doesn't appreciate your point of view. I know it's hard but don't take their comments to heart. Consider where these remarks are coming from--people who are too juvenile to sign their own names. Hiding behind "anonymous" is snarky and why should you care what they think? Just remember that for every one of those anonymous commenters there are a few of us who are usually just too lazy to write. Best wishes. K Carry

I’m sending you a big (hug). I also use very salty language as I work around a lot of surveyors and engineers. I love your stories because it brings me a different perspective and a good laugh. Pay no attention to those negative people. Their minds are closed and they live in a very sorry small world.

You have a lot of pizzazz, Carry! Don't let the dull conformists shake your wonderful sense of fun. Oh dear, you sounded so shaken or sad in the first part of this podcast. What a shame that a listener needed to make you feel bad instead of taking responsibility for her/his own tastes. I just can't stand it when people need to turn around all their bad feelings onto you. Carry, I love your podcast just BECAUSE of your colorful stories. I grew up in the military till I was 8 and even spent some time in NC in the 50's. The usual stuff -- 3 countries, 12 houses in 8 years, 3 first grades. On top of that my father's language was pretty blue a lot of the time. What a lovely picture of you with the flower. You have a lot of pizzazz, Carry!

I enjoy your show very much. Your stories are interesting, your storytelling delightful, and the opportunity to learn and listen is very much appreciated. Don't let the bastards get you down!

I'm not sure how you could be considered offensive unless whoever was offended were the people you've been talking about, like that wonderful guard. :p And even then, I'm not sure how they couldn't laugh. You're a great story teller, thanks for all the laughs. I just wanted to say that I love the show.

I really enjoy listening to your stories, and I really don't mind the "f" words. As Tekopp said, you curse in a very natural way. I hope you carry on your podcast as always, and don't mind the bad comments! I can't imagine why your stories can offend anyone. Hi Carry!
