    Thanks for the great reminder of this! I needed it, and so does our world in this election season!

    So glad to see your posts, hope you are getting things into place with the Mister, in your new home and at work!

    I always liked the one: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, coime sit next to me!”

    But seriously, you never know what is going on in another’s life. They could have lost some one close, got fired or dented their new car. Put those snarky thoughtsd out of your head!
