'Don't Get Excited'

'Excited's' a word causes conversational bother Exhilarating in one sense, overanxious in another 'Don't get excited,' ... 'No, do' ... 'No, don't' ~ Alright, already. I will, but I won't

Hm! Very interesting! Depending on the situation, excitement can be quite the joy or an unhappy can of worms! Great poem to ponder Gershon, makes one think! :)

Whoa. Caution: Thinking can be dangerous, especially these days. You'll never teach at an Ivy League School, Bj, if you keep thinking. Tone it down, ok? ... LMAO... Who would ever want to teach at Harvard, Penn, or MIT, and work for one of those three Presidential witches? ... Thanks for the appreciation, my friend.

Sometimes excited is good for us and other times it isn't. Mad, Scared or Happy? Hmmmmm. Another cute one Gershon. I liked this one a lot. God Bless and Merry Christmas, JB

that's mind boggling....I have to admit I say those words to Bill sometimes...he's so passionate about everything, and sometimes at not the best times, like when I'm silently stressed. Then other times I want him to be excited about what I'm excited about...I confuse the man. He throws up his arms, mumbles and leaves the room, leaving me dumbfounded asking myself, "Why the heck this man doesn't understand me better after all these years?" It's our marital dance, sometimes comical.

Entertaining word play, my friend. It was driving me crazy. Good it was short! Have a great week! Bill
