I have this ...Well, we'll see if I can hang tough. I have this issue (and need a tissue) in that I'm so transparent and don't hide my emotions well, be they good (it's pretty obvious when I'm happy) and then it's really obvious when I'm annoyed at somebody. <BR/><BR/>This ol gal is one I never have hid it well with. I ripped her to shreds one time and my boss made me say "Sorry" to her. This was years ago when I was, hopefully, less mature than I am now. I've just kinda learned to hush.Sharon Colliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15715688883890196464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11442941.post-1152574108973673912006-07-10T18:28:00.000-05:002006-07-10T18:28:00.000-05:00Mentally changing her diapers would be too much fo...Mentally changing her diapers would be too much fo' me...<BR/><BR/>You should encourage her to start a blog, "Aby-Bay-Alk-Tay starring ______ "Kerry Woohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519555842802288329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11442941.post-1152573779636113422006-07-10T18:22:00.000-05:002006-07-10T18:22:00.000-05:00I admire your fortitude.
