VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Agreed...I would probably say something like, "I'm sorry that you have to clean up this big mess". Actually, I'm always apologizing to the school janitor because as much as I try to have the kids clean up after themselves, they sometimes get away before I realize how trashed the carpet is.
In reply to: PJ 's message, "When talking to a maid, "poor you" might sound too condescending (the speaker is superior to the one being spoken to). Among close friends or relatives, "poor you" is probably acceptable if said in a humorous or extra-caring manner. When talking to the maid, "I feel sorry for you" is probably the best choice. Hope this helps!" on 10:05:09 01/07/02 Mon
