Jan, this is a bit different from you. Nice work. After reading, I'm thinking about how we speak to each other and how important it is to speak with empathy and tact. There's no joy in hurting people and hurting the planet with intent (unless a person is one sick cookie). Sending sweet smiles!

Better yet, bite her tongue, her poison spreading, stinking-thinking tongue. We don't need tongues like that. CayCay
