In my opinion, and this is only me, I took more notice of the 'short bus' comment. Obviously no in your family has rode the short bus.

but then again I have made statements (ie. 'rose-colored glasses') that have offended some members. I'm sure the poster didn't mean for the comment to sound like it did to some.

Did I mention that I make more $$ than many university-degree-holding graduates?

I have a feeling doodle was exaggerating to prove a point. I don't think she meant any harm in what she said.

Agreed she probably meant no harm. She's also feeling very sick and missing her husband.

Lets give her a chance instead of jumping all over her.

oy...ok bad choice of words and my intention was not to say that those who didn't attend a university have mental problems. It was that if you never went to college OR even....as a very very very extreme example if you did indeed have a mental disability....it makes no difference on whether or not you got your visa.

Thanks for clarifying! Amazing how using an AND instead of an OR can completely change the meaning.

Just so you know though, I do think that using the "short bus" expression can be really offensive to some.

My brother has cerebral palsy and literally took the short bus to school and I didn't get offended. Some ppl are just overly sensitive or are looking for a reason to attack.

Yup, seems like it.
