Isn't it amazing how you never hear of a campaign until it truely affects you

During the meet and greet at my daughter's wedding, I asked her new mother in law why she and the family came wearing fragrance when my daughter had specifically told everyone, or so I thought, that it was important to take up a NON fragranced attitude for this special day AND the time leading up to it.  I explained the distress I was in and why.

The only words she said were, and I quote, "I didn't understand."

I told her that perhaps next time, she and her family might be more considerate and she walked away.

What is there "not to understand" about a fragrance free environment?

What is there to "not understand" when you are an addition to the cause in the distress and Illness of another person and part of the reason they are never included in events, family or otherwise?

WHAT IS, " I didn't understand " supposed to do to help someone outside of your circle?

IS SOMEONE MISSING FROM YOUR CHURCH?
IS SOMEONE MISSING FROM YOUR DOCTORS' OFFICE?
IS SOMEONE MISSING FROM CHRISTMAS DINNER?
IS SOMEONE MISSING FROM THANKSGIVING DINNER?  Explain exactly WHAT we have to be THANKFUL for.  NEVER being INCLUDED??!!

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T HAVE A CLUE, WHO "DON'T UNDERSTAND", PERHAPS INFORMATION IS ALL YOU ARE LACKING.  Ignorance is lack of information.

I don't know how long these websites have been in existance, but five years ago, when I was combing the internet for help with my MCS, the MCS websites were FEW and FAR BETWEEN & http://www.mcsrr.org/ was the only true information I could find.  Now look, just a few of the new sites that are on the world wide web to INFORM those who WANT TO KNOW;
