I can’t help it. I can’t help it if people read and take everything out of context and apply it to themselves and where they are. I can’t help it if people profess to be all knowing and understanding andreally know nothing and do not care to explore the over view. What I can do is keep doing what I do, and I will. In the meantime here’s one of the latest comments, approved – and at the bottom of the post it was meant for-but pasted here because it’s just too precious to have this little pearl lost at the bottom of a post.

I was numb. What had I done? Continue reading Fired!

If Sam’s lady sweater hadn’t opted to try to remind the two of them to tip, I would have simply left it as, This was a working deadspread for me. If the majority of you don’t know what a working deadspread was before that post, you must know it now. Continue reading Comments and Tipping
