by Linda L. Dowd I’ll pass on all the frou-frou. ~ All the fluff and all the schtick. Just give me the meat and potatoes. ~ All the fake stuff makes me sick. I cannot stand a phony, Whose wagging tongue tells me lies. I want it straight from the horse’s mouth, ~ See the truth in steady eyes. . |

Meat and potatoes? I am so hungry - and no fake potatoes either! Sheese! I know what you mean here. Sometimes people are like shag carpets that hide hardwood floors. Let's just get to the wood (  )!A |

Alison ~ I'm hungry too! Hungry enough to eat a bear, so to speak! Perhaps we could dig up some taters and go shoot us a grizzly (with a camera!!!). "Sometimes people are like shag carpets that hide hardwood floors. Let's just get to the wood" ~ Never heard that one before! lol LL |

misc' ~ What I cannot tolerate are those who sweettalk you to your face and then tell others what they really think. Be up front and centre. I have no time for duplicitious people. ~ but I certainly have time for people like you! Warm hug, Linda |

 Yep, I hear you........impostors can certainly be real troublemakers, tsk tsk tsk! (softly rolls eyes) But many genuine people like you, on the other hand, more than make up for all those disingenuous spirits out there, yay! (does happy dance) This is a much-needed jolt of truth, dearest Linda, yay!  Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |

I will join Noah who "rolls his eyes" in disapproval and "does happy dance" for all the genuine people that make up for one who pretends ... Sincerity is a priceless quality indeed. Well said, Angelo Terrestre! Love and hugs. Margherita  |

I know just how you feel. I can't stand a phony. Nor, can I stand for anyone to hurt someone I care about. I belive in honesty. Nothing less! |
