Something for USA Independence Day

[sallybode]

"Oh! wad some power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as others see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us
And foolish notion....."

(Oh, what a power, the gift He gives us
To see ourselves as others see us!
It would free us from many a blunder
And foolish notion.....)

"Il a été sauvé par la belle femme" (It was saved by the nice woman.)

Merci, mes amis. (Thank you, my friends.)

Just so long as you realise it applies to you as well

Next time someone throws you a googly you might like to use the time-honoured political device of saying simply "your comments have been noted" and moving swiftly on. Or perhaps better still, ignoring it.

No one owns the high moral ground here.
The way a person reacts is a measure of both their maturity and their self-esteem.

Peace and friendship to all.
