Peace Oldtimer, I enjoy your posts. I'm not going to change. I understand there is a time and place for PC and euphemisms . If you knew me in real life, you'd understand I mean nothing by it. On the top ten of my characteristics, empathy, concern for peoples feeling and being non judgemental are on the top of my list. I'll refrain from the tourettes references without a prior warniing. so you can brace yourself.
no prob, it's no big deal to me. I'm not quite as empathetic as you. I like making fun of people when they do something stupid, and there are plenty of opportunities for that, so you don't need to go looking for people who got stuck through no fault of their own. Are we in a recession? Out here in Indiana where I live, we have four seasons. And one of them is a real bitch. We just go through it. We don't try to postpone it.
