Just to put it out there; I never said there should be restrictions on who can live in a house. EVER! All I said was that there should be restrictions on how a person maintains their property. So your statement to me about responses about African Americans in the housing industry was totally unnecessary. I have already stated that ALL military get the same type of housing. No race issues there. I have had several classes with you, Ingrid; but it was not until this class that I really started dreading getting on the DQs because this has turned into something that is not enjoyable any more. I feel that when I post something that is not agreeable to you, that you go well out of your way just to make sure that I and everyone else knows I am wrong for my opinion. If you cannot treat me fairly then I am going to ask you to stop responding to me and I will do the same for you.

Good Morning, Good Afternoon or Good Evening Heather,

I don't know what time period you may be in in Japan.

I want to take this time to respond to your very angry discussion response to me during our Week Four ETH 125 Course.

First and foremost calm down. Don't be so overly sensitive and please Heather take time to READ my responses slowly. I am a mature woman who may have children your age. It is my goal to treat everyone fairly and politely I do not take AIM at people or purposely try to make them feel bad.

It is NOT my goal to "call you out" or make you feel bad. But if you come after me then I will have to respond likewise. However as a mature, seasoned and intelligent woman I will address and respond to my classmates as instructed by Axia College in an intelligent, sincere and civil manner.

Let me share something with you. A group of my very esteemed colleagues told me this about the UOP Axia College. They teased me and told me the UOP was a waste of money and time. They said it wasn't a real college. One gentleman said "So what do you all do? Get a question on-line and then ALL OF YOU just repeat, rewrite and agree on the same answer and response over and over again? How is that academically challenging and how is that intellectually stimulating? The two of them laughed again. The one said again "You should have save your money and enrolled in a REAL College."

My point is that our interaction and involvement in the on-line environment must be as challenging and stimulating as in a face-to-face college classroom. I am going to respond, ask, query and pose questions and make response to my classmate in an intellectual and polite manner. Re-Read ALL my post. It is YOUR Interpretation. Others in the class have no problem with me. EVEN STEVEN! Steven and I are cool. He gets me and where I come from. Don't take me so literal and so personal.

BELIEVE ME I am not trying to make you feel bad. I am a no nonsense, inquisitive, hardworking, caring, intelligent, professional, who like YOU is trying to acquire an education. I'm not here to fight, argue or ridicule anyone. Re-Read my posts and responses. You'll realize I'm not aiming for you.

Don't be sensitive or threatened by me. I am not trying to attack you personally but do know I am going to work hard just like you to earn my grade.

Let me know if you receive this. If you choose you can respond by contacting me at my UOP e-mail address.

Heather I must ask one more thing. Please know I ask this respectively of you, I do think it is appropriate for you to extend an apology on-line to our ETH 125 classmates as I did to rectify this matter. Since you HAD to call me out because of a misinterpretation I only think it fitting that you render an apology to me. I want to take this time to apologize to you personally if I offended you.

Be prepared Girl! I am still going to respond to you. I am enjoying getting to know you and I appreciate your perspective of the world.

PEACE

Yesterday was CD 1 month 2 for me in my TTC journey. I am beyond excited about trying to have another child. Last month was the most stressful month because I did not ovulate. When you do not ovulate in a cycle that is called an Anovulatory cycle. This means you did not ovulate and therefore there is not luteal phase so pregnancy cannot happen. I will track this cycle and the next few cycle to check for ovulation while TTC. If I am not ovulation then I will go to the doctors and get a check-up. I am part of a wonderful site called Fertility Friend. It is a wonderful site that I have actively used since the birth of my son. I am very in tune with my body and ovulate regularly normally. The site though, is amazing because there is so much support. So I highly recommend this site to others TTC or in need of support. TTC can be a very frustrating time for a woman so information and support is well needed during this time. This year I was going to run for Mrs. Arizona and I really wanted to have a platform for this pageant for my own ambitions. The platform I really wanted to promote was infertility. I wanted to include insurance and health care in my platform. I feel that infertility takes the back seat when it comes to health care. Did you know that according to National Women's Health Resource Center approximately 6.1 million couples in the United States, or 10 percent of all couples of childbearing age, have difficulty conceiving. In my own opinion the public needs to become more aware of infertility. Unfortunately, I did not get to compete in Mrs. Arizona this year due to PCSing, but someday once I have finished my medical degree I will be a promoter for my platform.
