Sharp and To the Point

*Sharp And To The Point Written: by Tom Wright 10-12-2019 I’ve never been one, being inclined to wheedle. And sometimes my words, resemble a sewing needle.* On occasion I’ve been told, that my words intimidate. Because I’m always inclined, to give it to you straight. I confess that quite often, I’ve not used enough tact. Most would rather hear flattery, than give ear to the fact. “Fools live to regret their words, wise men their silence” Will Henry

..Well Tom, it has been said that "the truth will set you free".....but first it will probably tick you. My mom's version "The truth only hurts when it's supposed to."

Good Morning Heidi, If I speak the truth, One won't have to later wonder what I've said. Or as my mom used to say."tell the truth and let the chips lie where they fall". Have a great weekend. Tom

I like this and I like it straight to the point! I would rather hear even what I don't want to hear ,( truthfully ) than not. I like the facts :)
