WTF???!!! What am I supposed to look like?
Friendships that Rock! And then there are those that you just want to toss into the bonfire! (smile!) Thank you to my friends. . . and to the other guy . . . curb your tongue!
Daniel, I am so glad you decided to educate instead of humiliate, which would have been so much easier and much more gratifying...I think in this case, it really was just ignorance. But you make a great point to encourage awareness of the feelings a comment like that can generate, how it cuts to the bone... I think what would hurt me most would be that "clean" comment. How does a disease, which is not at all discriminating, make you dirty? Just a thought dear friend...
