I send you the Biggest Gold Star that I can imagine. I smile in public and sometimes I forget I am smiling until I am puzzled that people are smiling back and then I remember. In your honor, I am going to smile at a lot of people today!<br />SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3008952641475865248.post-50907175069414449822010-05-12T20:39:22.826-04:002010-05-12T20:39:22.826-04:00While I agree whole-heartedly with Googlover and E...While I agree whole-heartedly with Googlover and Em in disliking the P- and C-words, I *really* like the idea of imagining their use in a positive light, denoting power or friendship. Just as a mental (never verbal!) exercise, to ward off rigid thinking. And grouchiness on the subway.

Language is so much more casual for them. Not sure if that is good or bad...but it is.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14063254538593495040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3008952641475865248.post-30924296394267384012010-05-12T08:06:03.809-04:002010-05-12T08:06:03.809-04:00That is a candid and very funny observation.

I understand that some people use it as a term of power, friendliness, etc but they are yucky words to me. I love connecting with strangers in public observations. It just feels better when you have someone to share it with.keishuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15425697524293318047noreply@blogger.com
