A wise East Texas Notary once said...
When you are using forums, you should ASSUME each post is meant in the best possible way.
In fact, this wisdom tumbled out of her mouth just tonight, and when she said the statement above, I had a MAJOR aha moment. Wow, is that good advice or what?
Now, take that and combine it with a tub full of soapy water with a wringer attached to its side. When the reader does not understand the above should be ASSUMED, well...that wringer's going to do some damage to the poster. It's just that simple.
Expressing my honest opinion and being forthright about what I think about recent suggestions here have got me hanging out at Walgreen's buying plenty of band aids to patch up some very tender places on my chest. Naw...not my heart. Heck no!
I've messed around and gotten my t--t stuck in a wringer...as we say here in Texas, and it's a bloody mess I am trying to bandage up. But, it's not the first time I have experienced a wringer's painful dysfunction ...it's happened for other reasons, and thank God it's not fatal. My t--t will heal. And, it's likely to happen again at some time.
You can betcha I've learned my lesson on saying what I think without making sure it's got plenty of sugar coating on it...or being perfectly precise...very accurate...and, folks, I promise you the next time I'll be more careful and I'll keep my t--t out of that somova-b-tchin' wringer's reach.
If anyone else is smarting from getting their t--t stuck in the same wringer, try ice.
In spite of it all...life keeps rolling on...so do those dang wringers...just keep your appendages clear!
And, to be honest, I had to dramatize just a little to make this worth writing. It's not all that bad. Actually, it's been quite entertaining to see all the negative responses to the inspiring thought and brainstorming that went on here today.
I say let no one wring out your t--ts and don't let anyone ever squash a vision. If you think you can make such a thing work, well...then you can.
Just because something has been tried and has failed has nothing to do with the future...I cannot commit to put all of my time into it but that does not mean it is not a very, very worthwhile cause. There is a way to make this work, but it will cost a little money. If people want it to work badly enough they will put their money into it and pay to put someone at the helm to guide it to fruition. This is the way non-profit organizations pull it off. They pay someone to head it up and make it happen. If notary professionals don't care enough to see it happen, then it won't.
And, no...I do NOT think this was generated by anyone thinking of themselves and how to feather their own nest.
Ouch...dang it, that wringer got me again!

Stay tuned! Next time, we'll discuss "mangles."

B...a very nice, well-thought-out, and politically correct way to say...way to go.
(Am I wrong?)
No matter, all good thought and brainstorming is all-good, imo. It's the LACK of it that makes our lives hum-drum.
For me, I'd rather stick my neck out, with a bit of passion and the risk of being wrong, with the idea of a "good" that could ultimately come of it. The risk is worth the price, to me.
You're not out of this, girlfriend. You have too much experience to wriggle away. Tag, you're it. No wiggling, my friend. I, for one, won't let you.
