It doesn't matter if you agree with me, hate me, or think I'm barking, feedback is interesting. I miss the conversations that ensued from Multiply posts. We talked in those days. As ever, all I ask anyone is to avoid actual rudeness.

When you comment on a conversation, you may be offering a different perspective that can be taken away and mulled over. <br /><br />Bloggers, the long winded souls that we are, love comments, as long as the comments are not related to medications to enlarge genitalia, money won on a lottery or a Russian bride pining to meet "iligible mens".

I learned very young that when in doubt, it is better to just 'keep the lips zipped' than land your butt in hot water.<br /><br />Hence the reason I rarely comment on blogs, I often am not so sure if what I have to say is relevant to the conversation or not, so I stay silent...Rylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721789678222139438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196829553153577775.post-33463843731600357392013-04-29T08:22:05.686-07:002013-04-29T08:22:05.686-07:00Still learning the art of knowing the difference.....Still learning the art of knowing the difference...most of the time, unless I'm blogging?
