I heard through the grapevine that some florists may have a confusion of my relationship with TF....

I DO NOT HATE TF!!!!

I do have problems with some of their charges, I do have opinions on some of their products and I have lots of ideas on how the company might be broken and not working to my full benefit..These are all my personal problems with a company that I choos eto do business with...

I love their education programs, I love working with the designers when I get to, I love the comaraderie and meetups with my fellow florists...I love seeing new florists come to shows...I will do whatever is asked of me to make these programs stay around for as long as I am a member...it is the number 1 reason I am a member of Teleflora...

As far as I was concerned in voicing my dislike of charges, useless tf programs, and company policies, I thought I was really really clear on the fact that I choose to be a memebr because of the education and the board, but I guess that my complaints have made it look as though I HATE them to some...I hate nothing hate is a very strong word and one I only choose to use when I feel so very strongly about something...I am not even sure I have ever used that word in this forum...

I do realize that this kind of backlash comes with the territory of being opinionated and I do understand where some might be confused with my affiliation with TF, so this is just a public service message to those that may be confused to clear up my stance...and please in the future if I have never said that I hate something or someone, do not put that word in my mouth...I do not like it...I may dislike a whole lot of things and may even be appalled or disgusted, but rarely ever hate!!!

Thanks for listening and noone at TF made me say this, I felt the need when hearing my name mentioned with this kind of remark that it needed to be know what the real deal is...
