An apology… for saying you’ve had this 45 years... I don’t believe one was in order at all. Heck, on MANY occasions I have mentioned my 10 year journey, which is a fraction of yours. I think 45 years or one day; you’ve earned the right to say whatever you wish. Telling others how long you’ve been dealing with this allows them to know that you’ve been around a block or two.

Bram might be right in that perhaps whomever this was, was just having a bad day, or to use the new phrase Bram taught me today (which I intend to use often), maybe they were just a Donkey on the edge … lol, that just cracks me up!! I swear I’m going to tell this to my children the next time they are working the proverbial last nerve. And if nothing else perhaps it will make you smile too. Cheer up hon, it’s all good.
