Shirley,

The person show sent you the crude, rude message was not following
genealogical etiquette. However, as the good person you are, I know you
will respond kindly because:

1) Patience is a virtue!

2) Life is too short to care about what others think of us. We must be
secure only in ourselves.

4) Never argue with an idiot! They will drag you down to their level
and beat you with experience.


Many years ago I had a stupid argument with an office mate from Egypt. He
left the office and a few minutes later I located him and apologized though
it wasn't my fault. This turned the tide and actually infuriated him more
because now the monkey was on his back. In my years as a husband and
father, I have learned that a simple apology regardless of right or wrong
gets things back on track quickly.

Go out, see the world around you, and smile!
