At Home for the Holidays

From: Rosalyn Ebberly To: SAHM I Am Subject: [SAHM I AM] We're in the newspaper, Ladies! Dearest SAHM I Am'ers, Remember a couple of weeks ago when I asked for volunteers to be interviewed by Farrah Jensen, a reporter for our local paper, the Hibiscus Herald, for an article she was doing on stay-at-home moms? Well, it's been printed at last. I thought you all would like to see it, and Farrah said I could reprint it for the loop, so I'm cutting and pasting below. But as always, please DO respect the noble copyright laws of our land and don't abuse this privilege by forwarding this e-mail to anyone else. I've always felt strongly about upholding our nation's long tradition of protecting intellectual property rights, and the Internet and e-mail have really eroded those rights. So resist the urge to forward! I know those of you mentioned in the article will probably want to show your friends and family, so just e-mail me and I'll be glad to mail you as many photocopies as you'd like! Blessings, Rosalyn Ebberly SAHM I Am Loop Moderator "She looks well to the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness." Proverbs 31:27 (NASB) From: The Millards To: SAHM I Am Subject: Re: [SAHM I AM] We're in the newspaper, Ladies! Wow, great news, Rosalyn! But...you forgot to include the article! Jocelyn From: Rosalyn Ebberly To: The Millards Subject: LOOP GUIDELINES Dear Jocelyn, According to our loop posting guidelines, you really should have sent that reply to me directly instead of the entire group. As it turns out, I really didn't "forget" to include the article. I meant to send it separately, so as to keep the loop messages from getting too large. I really did! It's never a wise idea to jump to conclusions, you know. Much love, Rosalyn "She looks well to the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness." Proverbs 31:27 (NASB) From: The Millards To: Rosalyn Ebberly Subject: Re: LOOP GUIDELINES My apologies. I must have misunderstood what you meant by "I'm cutting and pasting below." :) Jocelyn From: Rosalyn Ebberly To: The Millards Subject: Re: LOOP GUIDELINES Jocelyn Millard wrote: Of course. That makes perfect sense. That comment was for the benefit of our good women on digest mode. You know they read a group of 20 or so loop messages by scrolling through one long e-mail, and I wanted to make sure they knew to keep reading farther down for the news article. You are completely forgiven. I know you are just over-wrought with excitement about the article. You'll LOVE it--it's a great article. I'm going to have my original framed and signed by Farrah herself. Oh, Jocelyn, it's such an amazing responsibility to be in the public eye! Now that we have media attention, I imagine our loop will grow at an even faster rate. We'll need to all work together to maintain the high-quality interaction these new SAHM I Am fans will be expecting when they join. What a privilege and honor it is, don't you think?
