GRRR!!!

Ok, I was going to write a review for Hayley Westenra's CD "Hayley Sings Japanese Songs 2" but, recent developments have caused me to write something else.

So, on Tweeter, Thanksgiving is a trendy topic.  Well, to be FUNNY, I said "Thanksgiving is a trendy topic & it's next month.  Might as well make Christmas one too for those that don't celebrate Thanksgiving". (meaning people in Europe!) Little did I know people would take offense at that.  These two Canadian chicks said something mean to me and I honestly don't know how I could've offended someone by what I said.
One said something about if I knew there are Countries other than my own and that they have holidays too and the other was like, "Ugly American.  Party of one.  I guess only the States celebrate Thanksgiving...my mistake...I'll go return my turkey".  What the heck?  Do people have no sense of humor??
I would never, ever want to offend anyone!  Honestly, I've read the tweet over and over and still cannot figure out how it could make someone think along those lines.


.......Later.....As it turns out, it's Thanksgiving weekend in Canada, well I didn't know that.  You'd think someone would be nice enough to explain that to me instead of say cruel things to me.  If any Canadians are reading this, I am terribly sorry and wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.

I mean, like seriously, couldn't someone have thought, "Hmm, I wonder if she knows it's Thanksgiving here" and then tell me....in a nice way.  I do feel bad about saying it before even looking to see why it was a trendy topic but, still, can't people just say something nice.  I mean what the girls said was really rather cruel.  I shan't repeat exactly what one of them said, but it was very, very, wrong.

I'm just the kind of person that likes to be goofy and funny.  They just totally went overboard over what I said.
I know there are other Countries, I know they have Holidays and ours isn't more important. 

It's interesting to actually offend someone online.  It was never ever my intention and I'd never want to do it again or anything (never wanted to do it to begin with), but it just shows me how easily people can throw something way out of proportion.
We are all God's creatures and not one of us is better than the other.  I have nothing whatsoever against Canadians or anyone else.
If I ever offend any one of you, tell me....in a nice way!

Now, I am going to finish my Angel Food Cake, with strawberries, and homemade whipped cream while watching a Hayley Westenra video, so if you'll excuse me, goodbye.

God bless and keep you (no matter where you're from)!
Grace be with you!
Alive because of His Blood,
