Good for you to have pulled them up short.<br /><br />And the poor couple trying to open a place in the teeth of local opposition deserves a booster too.<br /><br />You are a good person, I hope you get your just reward.

Sometimes I feel like folks just are ignorant of how they sound to others and then, I think why would anyone speak ill of another and not expect that they would be spoken of the same way. But thanks for being someone I admire for your upstanding character. You are a goodie. I hope you enjoy the day and that your headache is completely gone. xoxoOmaLindasOldeBaggsandStuftShirtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09589622524456973822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-73860885038949307962015-02-02T10:17:25.341-06:002015-02-02T10:17:25.341-06:00Glad you're feeling better.

I am sorry for yo...Love Buddha's little lizard.<br />I am sorry for your young entrepreneurs. I wonder if there are pleasant and supportive small towns in America. I doubt it. I once asked a younger woman who is an accountant in town why she did not speak up about a wrong that needed righted. She responded because she had to live and work in town. The bottom line is selling out.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-61790254012422127402015-02-02T01:04:29.103-06:002015-02-02T01:04:29.103-06:00I am still surprised at how racist people can be w...I am still surprised at how racist people can be when we all have opportunities for education and have the Internet.

I know that kind of racist remark. What always gets me is how it's said in a way that would expect everyone listening to nod and agree. It's as if there's some secret rule that states since you're not a member of the group being bashed, you'll join in the bashing.
