Carolyn Devonshire August 22, 2018 at 12:11 PM Tweets have been getting people in lots of trouble. Some individuals do not consider the consequences of letting barbs fly freely. There are times when I wish Twitter and Facebook had never been launched. Well said, Paul! Love, Carolyn Paul Callus August 23, 2018 at 1:44 PM You are perfectly right, Carolyn; there are consequences to pay for when words are 'uttered' flagrantly. Twitter and Facebook have their good points, but only when handled wisely! Love // paul

Joseph May August 21, 2018 at 2:34 PM Very true Paul, his words are usually out of season, and often times vulgar.. Paul Callus August 21, 2018 at 3:51 PM Thank you, Joseph. Tweeting can quite easily get out of hand; it's too spontaneous and does not always allow the mind to mull over words before spouting them out!! Regards // paul
