Let us just break this down for your clarification and mine. (I will
apologize ahead of time for using these confusing capital letters at the
beginning of a sentence and dividing my statements up with little marks,
like a period.)
"how cruel" (by-the-way, the " is a quotation mark, this means that I am
'quoting' something you said)
I will take this as two seperate words, since there is nothing
to indicate otherwise. 'how'.....this could be indian talk for 'hi.' Or,
it could be a question, in and of itself......'how?' Or, it could be the
manner, way, state, extent, amount, degree, reason, purpose, meaning, name,
measure, what, or, as an intensive!! Hey! An 'intensive'...could that
possibly be it? Nah, since you used 'cruel' as the second word, we will go
with manner. So, now we have: In what manner? Cruel.
However, we still have no idea what or who is functioning in a cruel
manner....let's investigate further!
"why do you make fun of people different from you" (really not sure if this
should be taken line by line, just a stab in the dark). First word:
"why." This could be in reference to the reason, cause or purpose, but,
just as easily, it could mean with mild surprise, indignation or impatience.
I have no idea, so, let's just go with the first one....reason. So, now we
have: For what reason (why) do (very good!) you (that would be ME) make fun
of people different from you(?) The simple answer to that one would be, "I
do not" or "I did not." No where in my response did I 'make fun' of anyone!
Show me where you think I did and I will prove you wrong. I digress, let's
move along.
"do you make fun of the diabled [sic] too" (the "[sic]" part means that you
probably mispelled something, but, maybe not) Making some BIG assumptions
here, I will guess that you believe I might 'make fun' of people with dual
abilities, also. Heck no! I am impressed with folks that can do two
things, especially at once! Oh, wait a minute, I bet you really meant
'diSabled', right? Then the answer to that would be, "Heck yes!" Being
handicapped myself, I think it's a riot! Dang waterheads and wheelmasters,
who do they think they are, anyway?? I'm tired of them getting all the good
parking spots! (oops, scratch that.....I would have to give up my blue
placard and park far away!)
"wow" World of Warcraft. I don't know crap about that.
"how sad" Here we go again.....In what manner? Sad. Not me, Honey.
I'm happier than a single fly on a fresh cow plop.
"my problem is with the spybot program" Well, even without capitals and
punctuation, this one is pretty good....you have a problem with the Spybot
application. Let's go further and try to determine what that problem might
be.
"i have no text next to the icons" OK. What icons? Spybot has many
icons, some have text and some do not. It would be real helpful if we knew
just exactly which icons are lacking the text. Have you been messing with
the skins or the color settings???? Is it possible you may have set the
background color the same as the text color? (If they are both the same
color you won't be able to see them when they occupy the same area!) Let's
go on........
"simple" Are you calling me a name? Is the problem simple? Did you
mispell 'pimple?' , etc. Once again, on an assumption, let's figure the
problem is 'simple.' Then I have a question: If the problem is simple, why
do you not have an answer yourself?
"nellie" Lacking a salutation, this may or may not be a name.....probably
not a name....names are CAPITALIZED. Do you know the definition of
'nellie?' Check this out, you may find it amusing (then again, you may
not):
nelly or nellie n. Offensive Slang. , pl. -lies . Used as a disparaging term
for an effeminate homosexual man.
You should probably start using the shift key with the beginning of your
name to avoid any confusion.
I certainly hope this clarifies things. It is truly amazing what a little
punctuation, grammar and structure can do to a sentence and/or paragraph.
Making fun, no, Nellie, not making fun. I laugh WITH you, not AT you. You
must maintain a sense of humor to get by in this world, otherwise, it will
seem 'cruel' to you.
As stated previously, I will be more than happy to help any way I can....so
long as I know the issue.

Heirloom, old and you probably got all of
the last line.
