She certainly wasn't an optimist and you couldn't call her a pessimist. Her glass wasn't half empty and it wasn't half full. It was empty with a little tear at the bottom of the glass and a lipstick print on the rim. Perhaps she was a realist. Ida Werrett |

Ahh...simple and to the point, very poignant. You say much with few words; I always admire that. |

Great piece! Sent to my Lady. Guess She is sadly, a Realist. Abe When did the petty censoring begin? Del "Abe" Jones |

"Perhaps she was a realist." No, if she was a realist she would sve her tears for another time and forget about half empty and half full gasses, she would just persevere. ~~ Those who are silent are the first to be shot. ~~ |
