Hello Uncle John, Thank you for the kind thoughts you expressed to all of us here during the recent fray.
You wrote: When I read Suzans anger, I was mainly surprised. Are there any other subjects that make you angry or emotional, Suzan ... They bring out a very eloquent writer. Well not wanting to continue to fan the flames of these fires, I will explain my own tendencies. I usually don't speak that often (some would beg to differ), but when I have something to say, I try to gather my thoughts using my head. But I tend to lead with my heart or my emotions. I do not think I am very articulate, but I try to address everything as mentally organized as I can. What gets me mad is when, no matter what the subject, people twist people words or thoughts. Or play with the semantics. I can be sharp and/or mean in my arguing, I am not above it. But I prefer to do so with wit and not name calling. I personally get a bit impatient with "beating the dead horse." If you don't bring something new to the table - don't pontificate. That's just me, when I want an audience to hear me, I will try to say something worth hearing but it's the quality of the words chosen not the quantity. Now out and about and being carefree is quite different. I talk and act like a punk ... almost 45 and still a punk! LOL! But the beauty of this community, is that it makes me listen, it makes me a better writer, than I am sure I am. Everyone here educates me and makes me smarter. It makes me take responsibility and pride in what I am saying. Because all of the good, intelligent people of the JMDL are listening to me, when I post. And as I have said before, all of the JMDL, with their love and support and the world they ALL have opened up to me, not only make me a better person, but make me want to be an even better person. We are all works in progress. It is hard to change your personality - but we all continue to grow & blossom. Believe me I am NO angel either - BREE! You have no idea how bad I can be! LOL! Apple pie? Too American for me, you know being the radical that I am! Actually, I just don't care for apples. BUt I will join you in a cup of coffee! Well not IN a cup, but for a cup! Thanks again Uncle John, can't wait to see you at Jonifest! Peace, Susan Yahoo! Health - your guide to health and wellness http://health.yahoo.com
