There's poetic license (which I indulge myself in freely) and then there's calling a house guest the next day to correct a minor error I made in recalling a story that happened a half century ago in grade school. I guess our homes share similar maladies. One of the occupants is a liar and the other is nuts!Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359404486512786477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-18404563996688961812014-09-19T03:22:38.725-04:002014-09-19T03:22:38.725-04:00I don't worry too much about accuracy in my po...I don't worry too much about accuracy in my posts.

She said she used to follow your blog until you insulted her. The entire nation of Belgium knows September is the funniest month. In Europe, you have been assigned three numbers - 000.

Making people laugh is like a drug, and it can be a dangerous occupation with the ever-present risk of offending someone. Speaking for myself, I write many things I think are funny and MY editor is excellent at pointing out when I've strayed into the land of offense or bad taste. I think you do an excellent job of including Mrs. Cranky in your blog and I do enjoy her impute. God knows what you'd say or do without her.<br /><br />I hope this is as positive and complimentary as I intended it to be. stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-81078934724769705002014-09-18T11:07:49.142-04:002014-09-18T11:07:49.142-04:00I like Mrs. Cranky and so do you.
