Sorry for the hijack - off my soap box for now...
Well said dear Kate. I agree with a lot of people on here, in full, in part, sometimes, always....a little.

I have a VERY hard time getting into an open minded and agreeable feeling when some posters post who never, NEVER have ANYTHING positive to say about ANYTHING. Right away I feel like my girdle is too tight, and I don't even wear a girdle, anymore. I should maybe.
