“Don’t chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing. The right people–the ones who really belong in your life–will come to you. And stay.” –Will Smith

      Absolutely, uh, usually. Unless it involves being honest when someone asks, “Does this dress make me look fat?” or telling a spouse that your mom cooks better than she does.
      ;-D!

      And no, I didn’t, but I came close when I was younger and dumber and newly married. I said a dish My Beloved cooked tasted different than my mother’s. I’m surprised I survived the experience. My beloved wisely did what it took to make sure her silly husband never, ever, said anything like that again. ;-D!
