You're so right Odie, the written word can sometimes be as hurtful as the spoken word. Sometimes it's hard not to take the written word wrong, and you can't hear it tone of voice as to which would be so different that reading some words.

This is a great thread hun!!!

I agree, Odie. We should acknowledge our mistakes and also learn from them. But, we should also acknowledge our accomplishments as well. Every once in awhile, we do the right thing.

oh gosh, I hate that line from Love Story!

It never did and never will make sense to me either.

your so right as I just learned this, you have to genuinely say your sorry and mean it.

and only after that.....you can move on.

oh gosh yes Shell, the written words can even be more hurtful, revengeful, childish, undue swearing, and down right manipulating.
