conundrum...a puzzle, a riddle, a Q without an A


How does a basically gutless person
gain intestinal fortitude?

How does a person who acts
like a spineless jellyfish
learn to stand up tall and proud?


Just some stupid Q's
prompted by a bizarre comment
made by a 'tough' guy.

A 1. Lots of fiber

A 2. They evolve.

Sorry someone ticked you off. I long ago had my fill of faceless "toughguys" on the net (and faceless Lovers). One reason why I'm hermitlike.

I knew you could help with these troublesome Q's. Thanks for the reply. It's nice to know I'm not always hanging out there alone in this world.

(sigh) Oh Kacy, my answers were almost exactly like Richards, except I said protein for #1, but the point is it was wrong for him to act tough toward you and I can understand how the frustration touched you like this! (sigh) This is wonderfully contemplative, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Well Kacy, I'm sure you know that they can be found everywhere...and you can measure their weakness by the amount of chest-thumping.

Sorry, don't have any "A's" for ya. Just recognize them, then avoid them.

Kacy,
I thought you'd never ask!

Practice...practice...practice. That and enough in your craw.

The secrect actually relates to a couple of things. 1. Not everybody likes you anyway, so why perform like everybody should. 2. You can't please everybody, no matter what, so why try. 3. For those that do like you, they still will even after a heated disagreement.

And you thought I was clueless.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Funny, I read this right after Kit’s “Cleanup in Aisle 3”. Methinks the “tough guy” needs a jar of humility and maybe a dose of respect. You’ll have to send him to Kit’s store.
And I’ve gotta laugh at Larry….yep, you’ve got a point there….practice, practice, practice!!! Lol

Kacy, I can only echo all the wonderful advice above. I especially loved Wranx's comment about the chest thumping too, lol.  I think that pretty much nailed it.

Best wishes and hugs,
/Kit

PS ... I'll put in a good word to the store, and ask them to stay open a little later for this person, lol.
