Sage advice, Valsa... Or, as my __________ (fill in the blank) used to say: 'Shut-up, kid, and eat your vegetables!' (Sounds crude, but it worked wonders on me). :) gw

To stop myself from speaking, even though I really want to say something negative, I must bite my tongue, a practice I need now more than ever! Great advice, Valsa and I should bite my tongue, but bite needs to rhyme with taste, and tongue needs to rhyme with sling and fling...is this a test? Lol

Well said, Valsa! Don’t fling, sling or bite. Keep it sweet, keep it right.
