Oh. Oh. Oh. Don't say it. Don't say it, scottie. "Don't take the bait and you won't get caught" as our dear Marp used to say.

Very wise advice from Marp, as always. {#emotions_dlg.wub}

I so agree! That piece of advice helped me a lot, along with what I learned from jubilant: "The absolute worst thing you can do is show them where you tie your goat!"{#emotions_dlg.laugh}

If your goat is baby goat, I'll surely get it if I can find where you've tied it! {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

Isn't it great advice? A wise woman, your mom.Smile

Took me a second to realize what it meant (I'm a slow learner sometimes!{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}), but it really has made a difference.
