R-Z, I sincerely hope your are right, I hope the water-carrying peeps will live to regret it! But if history is any sort of indicator, the peeps will live to profit from it.
ReplyDeletedid you delete my comment? Did I say something offensive?
ReplyDeleteSue, how can i put this...I loved all of your comment except the shrub-mother-f-r-r thing... It's not that I didn't agree w/you. The issue is (not that you would know) but I have several ex- students, nieces, nephews, and chillians who visit here regularly and they know that (unless it's fiction writing) emotion is more powerful if it is expressed without using the usual..ummm? gosh this tough. Go look at the comments on your blog, no one really uses those kinds of expressions. Geeze, I feel like I am being a weekend teacher, and you are an adult and I don't want to hurt your feelings or censor your thoughts; and I certainly don't want you to stop visiting and commenting on my posts.. you got me in a tough spot here...do you get it?
ReplyDeleteI hope so.
Of course I understand. You should have told me about your readers. Blogs who don't allow cussing because of young readers say it. I totally understand and I will be back, don't be silly!
