Lumpy men.
Two of the men in my life have had permanent lumps. One, we think -- and a doctor said -- was a balled up ligament that tore during some greatly physical kind of exertion. Not sure what the other ones are but they exist and don't seem to go anywhere or do anything, thank goodness -- except if they dissolved -- that would be nice.

I think writers should always write about what they experience
if it ruffles feathers then they should be the ones ducking, not you. Well written!

Thanks, Justi. Politics is ongoing news in any country, I believe. It can be highly frustrating at times...and to think we pay for it all, huh?

TAPS, Thanks ever so much for your kind words.
No, it was no-one here in Blogit who had ruffled feathers. I posted the same in my family Blog, and my friend's sister read alot into it which was not written. You know the 'Thou doest protest too much' thing? She called all her family instead of calling me - drama queen par excellence - then they all phoned me, one after the other (while I was shopping). She finally admitted that she couldn't refute any of it...but I had to get it out of my system, thus the tirade about reading carefully before condemning. I've cooled off now, LOL!

Re: I loveyour honesty and reading your blog You and Wiley are both so true
Thank you, Kabu. It had to be said, and in writing it is so much easier to say it accurately. I can take being compared to Wiley anytime - that's a compliment!

I got her attention, okay, Sam444
It was the way she presented her case that ticked me off. And yes, my brother is NO doctor, believe me! LOL!

Re: It would be a boring old world if everyone agreed with me.
Right, you are, Pat-B. Debate (with respect) is a healthy thing.

After reading this, I spent some time looking for ruffled feathers.  I couldn't find any anywhere, so I figured you must not be hinting at me.  So I've settled down and now am wishing you well on any examination or test results your doc might suggest.  I love the way you write and would not have a bit of complaint about reading you and then re-reading you.

I never learn a darn thing from people who keep their mouths shut to avoid debate.
