• DO YOU RESEMBLE THIS REMARK?

  

   

  Well, I do, sometimes.

  I can’t count the number of times I have had to pull my foot out of my mouth!  I have never meant to say anything insulting to someone, and I have never meant to be cruel or uncaring with my words, but sometimes, the words just spew out and, SNAP, I’ve hurt someone’s feelings.

  I don’t know who this hurts more, the object of my inappropriate humor or me, for the lingering guilt I suffer.  I have improved with age, but every once in a while my mouth seems to have a mind of it’s own and attacks when I least expect it.

  Now, before I make a global apology, I do want to state that most times the stuff I say is pretty damn funny!  But, I have had to learn to soften the blow by an immediate hug after dropping a bomb on the poor unsuspecting person (or quickly leave the room, so my SO, Danny, can explain that sometimes, I go off my meds and can’t be held responsible for my actions.)

  Luckily, almost all the people I know can take a joke and get right back at me…which I happen to love!  Very few are shocked or angered…at least I haven’t gotten punched out yet!  But, there’s always a first time!

  So, if posting a comment to you, I happen to hit a nerve, feel free to hit right back.  I can take it!
