I will let you look like an uneducated jerk. no problem! sorry about your biopsy results and I hope that all things go well for you. treatment, house and all the many tasks you take on. you are like the energizer bunny and are such a treasure and inspiration to all. if someones feathers get ruffled, so be it. We choose how to react to things and if we choose to be offended, shame on us. Every day in life I choose to have a good day. if something bad happens, it could have been worse. and I HAVE a GOOD DAY....... hugs my friend. <3sewyouquilt2https://www.blogger.com/profile/07422106403699477143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-61676060269765322302017-03-11T21:09:49.957-05:002017-03-11T21:09:49.957-05:00Thank you for everything you do and more important...Thank you for everything you do and more importantly your honesty.

Three years ago, I had a "thing" on the end on my nose. I had it looked at just because I was already at the doctors office. I thought it was probably a wart and had a witch-with-a-wart-on-her-nose comment ready. Not a wart, biopsy came back malignant (awful word, don't you think?) It was removed several days later in a Mohs procedure. They got it all in one pass and I left the office with this huge bandage in the middle of my face. Because it was a nose it took longer to heal but I'm fine now. I'm not telling you this to try to make you feel better. Nothing is going to do that. But this too will be taken care of, you will come out the other side and all the people you love will still be there. We'll all be thinking good thoughts for you.sewingnancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12093729704122898081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-68816203971870535442017-03-11T17:09:52.932-05:002017-03-11T17:09:52.932-05:00Bonnie, you SHOULDN'T OF gotten yourself upset...Bonnie, you SHOULDN'T OF gotten yourself upset about the opinions of others who disagree with you. That's the beauty of our county and the freedoms we enjoy. If they do not care for your opinions, then they darned well don't have to read them!!!! I happen to agree with you as I too am a grammar stickler (thanks, Mom).<br />I will be praying for you and your biopsy results. I am an 18-yr breast cancer survivor. I know too well what the "hurry up and wait" game feels like.

Whether it's grammar, spellin...Hooray for you! Whether it's grammar, spelling, punctuation or whatever, when it's incorrect I think we do a service when we gently correct it. Until we die, it's a privilege to learn. If we don't speak up, we are perpetuating something which is wrong. At work, I always believed that we wanted the best output from each person which in turn made the company stronger. If I used an incorrect tense, I wanted to be told. Many times I would mention a typo in someone's document as I would want someone to do the same for me. My soapbox comes out over the possessive "its" and I can't tell you how many times I would mention that there was a typo. Finally the catalog committee would ask me to review the document for errors (typos) and sometimes I'd have to go with my handbook to show them the correct spelling of the word. I wonder if some of your readers are those who don't want anyone to speak up about inequality, etc. and want us to just be quiet. I refuse to.

Only a certain number of hours in a school day, and when one is being taught about feelings and never being wrong, there is no time to learn that which they are really there to learn! Don't give up on your crusade. You could be really mean and tell them incorrect grammar, syntax, etc. raises the flag of their ignorance.<br />It's your blog, and YOU are the boss of it.

Also it is currently in vogue among millennials, when using a contraction that ends in "not" such as didn't, wouldn't, etc., they insert a short"I" sound so the word becomes "didint" or "wouldint". AAAAAAHHHHHH! Stick to your grammar guns! Also "for sell". Really? "Sale" is the noun, "sell" is a verb!

I have no filter and broad shoulders. It's not that I want to be unkind, it's some of us just need to state the truth. That will bother those that disagree. I'm fine with someone not liking me because I'm not being socially correct. Our moral compass and manners have somehow become irrelevant. Not to me! Character,honesty and standing for what's right is everything to me. You are one of the kindest people I have ever known. I met you in the late 90's and have watched you touch the lives of many. If folks can't let you have a bad day once in awhile, then I say good riddance. Friends walk valleys and mountains together! It will not always look nice. You keep being you and real. It's their loss and they are so self centered they don't even realize they are the loser. <br />We will pray for your biopsy to be dealt with wisdom and quickness. ❤<br />Hilaryhilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03800854878536147594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-21977864416429434182017-03-11T11:37:45.648-05:002017-03-11T11:37:45.648-05:00Sorry to hear about the bump too.

So that was lucky for her as it was also in need of attention. Lots of good wishes heading your way. <br /><br />I also didn't notice about the "have" issues - it's something I'm always a stickler for - being English and lucky enough to go to a good school you came out with the correct ways - or the nuns would have (would've) been after me and some of them were scary!

I read some of the ranting about a grammar police, but to be honest I had not read what you wrote. Anyway I thought it was silly that people were so upset about it when I figured out you were the one they were talking about. It's your blog and you can and will write what is on your mind. That's why so many of us follow you. You share so much of yourself with us and I for one feel "you" are my friend and quilting buddy. Please just keep on being you. You are in my prayers. Your personal strength will get you through this time in your life.
