Oh Soliaree,
I'm sorry. I was just trying to engage in a bit of humor. I was neither offended nor meaning to offend!
In fact, it is just the old hippie in me that posted.....I tend toward the peaceful resolution of conflict...even now, when marshaling my resources, as you say, I look for the gentle way to be and to engage. I know it is right and good and even very very healthy to muster up the courage that you do!
(You know, T has been trying forever to get me to be really expressively angry and no can do......) so...I thwart him in my own way! I will come on this Army's journey and bring up the rear!
