And by seriously reconsidering some statements before hitting "post". <G>
I sometimes need to practice that a bit more..... but I get careless
when I get tired and sleep deprived.

My initial reaction to that attack on me by Graeme over on a.b.f. is a
classic example. I could have handled it FAR better if I'd thought about
it for a bit instead of reacting emotionally. For some reason, it really
bothered me!

After thinking about it a bit more, I was quite disgusted with how I
allowed myself to react. Humor would have been far more appropriate.

Kinda like the way I generally deal with Shel's attacks. <G>

Oh well! Live and learn.....
