Re: Hi Justi -
...thank you! I love that..."poverty of heart!" I couldn't agree more
. I am going to post a daily memory/moment (hopefully) daily. So I'd love for you to come back and check out future blips on my life's journey!
Make today a good one!

Excellent post. I remember lots of those sorts of times. I call them base ignorance. It comes from all colors and all kinds. It is poverty of heart.

Ann Onimous - great example of what I was hoping this blog might bring...
...my bigot reminded you of another kind of bigot which had nothing to do with race - cool! I mean, not "cool," the sad reality of the judgemental world around us. But, cool, your comment was exactly what I was looking for - simply your moment, any moment that you remembered, due to all or any part of mine.
I LOVED your story and, cheers to the large, but witty, bi-lingual woman for her impressive response to such an ignorant comment!
Thanks so much and I hope you continue to visit and respond - I am hoping to post a new Can you, or can you not, relate? Blog every day, or as often as I can! Hope to see you back soon
.
Until next time...

Ahhhhhhh...but, will it? I truly, truly hope so! Then again, this basically bitter ol' bag could have easily been thinking, "Oh well, I probably stuck my foot in my mouth, but my point still holds true today... "they" like big butts and her fat ass probably couldn't get a "white guy," anyway! I suppose I'll never, ever know
.
Thanks for the visit
! By the way...how's that internet search for your place in the sun, going? Hope you're still considering sharing your "wisdom in progress" in some literary way!

2 seats
Reminds of this story ...
A friend of mine grew up in Indonesia where his father was stationed a number of years and he spoke the local language fluently. One day, while travelling on a bus in Germany with his mother, he saw a very fat lady in the seat infront. He turned to his mother and said in Indonesian "Don't you think she should pay for 2 seats?". Whereupon the lady turned round and replied in the same language "And how do you know that I haven't?".
