I must ponder this... I cannot tell You how many times I have been chastised for speaking My true perspective. Told I should not have admitted something, or should have held My tongue to seem to agree.

Well, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest, my dear friend. We both know, and I suspect that the vast majority here know too, that you are one of the few truly authentic people in this place. One who is not afraid to speak her mind despite and regardless of the adverse consequences you may receive for sharing your truths on the things you truly believes in. What makes you extraordinarily valuable and one in a million. We need more brave and honest people like you. Reflect on the subject as much as you need to dear. That at least I, for one, will be eager to hear and read your appreciated conclusions.

I am so "on my sleeve," Some get freaked out, I guess.

Hahaha yeah, the hypocrites and all the spurious, phony and inauthentic surely get freaked out upon hearing truths they cannot refute. And that's precisely our fun, to scare them to death every time we try to make them think.

Long live and better health babe!! :)
