'Ain't that the truth my dear Troosha!

how many times have we put foot in mouth and instantly regretted it!  Unfortunately what is said is very rarely able to be unsaid; it is best to think carefully before throwing those pebbles! Thank you my friend and God bless; this is as always excellent

These words...

...ring so true, especially in the nebulous realm of the written word, where the reader brings the interpretation more than the writer delivers it.

Splendid Troosha and that's just how it is at times! Words so quick to come

of the tongue-at an instant-ofttimes to be regretted after-for there was no malice intended! Wonderful piece.Chris.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones.........................

But words will never hurt me."  Isn't that what they say, Troosha?  Not so, is it, swetie?  Very nice poem, as always.  Nice to see you.  Love, Maggie

Hi Troosha

I love it....  the stones are beautiful too, btw.

so many times you say something and a moment later and think... why did I SAY that?
