Thank You so much for adding me as a friend.
i agree with what you intended as an ironical statement. kooky that.
I understand how one hates to see too much positive feedback directed toward writers. They're such an undeserving lot.
do you think that rating everything with such excessively high stars makes the act of rating them... benign? if everything is grand, is anything?
Oh and thanks for the friending as the young people say.
Hello there Corey and thank so much for the friendship!Smiles,
Jeannie
Good morning, Muffin. I do ok. Things are bright and shiny here. How's you?
