Hi, Sam, what are you doing over here again?
Of course you're quite right. No one should respond to me, and I do have my silences. But that does'nt mean i don't like to communicate, or attempt to. So, I appreciate your response for a truth do tightly held.

What's all this hottie-pottie about--am I confused?
I love and thrive on crticism--especially if contains a truth, and it is something to relate to. Doesn't bother me--probably because I'm perfect and the only way is up. But doesn't everything come down to its intention? It's not what's said, but how it's said. So, if my feet smelled, I had bad breath, or had BO-- if you took me aside and said, "John, I think you have a little social problem you might not be aware of," wouldn't I say "thanks for the heads up?"

On the other hand, not all of us can be so articulate, so as a moment arises, something (sometimes long seated) can sometimes be blurted out. So is the wound inflicted, or are we just surprised by being surprize by what we were not aware of?

Now I don't think I got thicher skin than anyone else, but when the rain falls, I don't think it's supposed to do osmosis, and that's why when the rain falls (no matter how hard) it's just going to be water down my back.

So, here's my money and my mouth: I would love to hear any of your ctriticms about me (if you can find any)--my writing, my personality, my sense of humor, anything at all...because I'm all ears.

I promise to consider and think about each and every idea presented. But just so you know, I'm not going to loose any sleep about this.

Brings out the worst desires in you if that happens, right?

How true
No body deserves it. At all. It will be ok.
