Excuse-O-Maniacs

"I am too busy today", said she. No time to email, she stated. With great drama, sorrowfully. Planting petunias, washing clothes. Good Lord~ I have heard excuses like this By the droves. The years go swiftly by, we grow older. Excuses like these, as fascinating as raw Perunian Pork shoulder! May 27, 2020 4pm PST Poem # 1301

Always take the time for the things that are important. Communicating well with friends and family is one of the ways we express our humanity. Well penned my friend. Have a great day.

So true Panagiota, I mean what does it take, seconds only. As we get older we get wise to the tame excuses. Tom

Tom~ even some of my old and retired friends do this....Email has morphed into an an automated voice mail replicant.-)) Where one can delete the email or not respond at all. It's the worst rudeness. Soup mail is answered here. Which I greatly appreciate. Only know one who never responds to email. But that's not bad compared to those who do. Email Manners are bad outside of the soup. Three cheers for the Soup...you are a splendid friend. Love,Panagiota thank you
