THIS is why

Jody — 10/25/2008 3:16:03 PM (archived)

I disagree with you about blanket stereotypes, and taking offense of them.

I am a giving person. If you choose to incorporate me in your stereotype of greedy rich Republicans...do so...and do so fervently if that is your chosen behavior.

I know my truth. I know what is true for me and what is not.

THAT is why I responded to McFly as I did. HE knows his truth..he knows his heart...therefore my thought was "take TBs' statement with a grain of salt. It does not apply to you"..and I would bet my next paycheck TB feels the same way.

I don't do cookies.

I am on the Atkins' anyway.

I do understanding.
