I have gotten very backed-up on my email, notifications and my own blogs, Charlie, but I had to go back and look at what I missed of yours…I know you are always good and usually good for a hoot and you certainly didn’t disappoint me! I’m sure you were neither truncated nor lectionary…you never have been on the blog!

Sad story, great salad. So good that you had the instinct to protect yourself.

Truncated and lectionary. What an odd critique. I mean it’s certainly not kind. I just don’t understand some people.

Your salad looks delicious. I love mango on a salad and with avocado. Great flavors!

What a story – Not a way to win friends or influence people, that’s for sure.

Ouch. Those two big words she used might also be used to describe her attitude and relationships;) hehe. I love a salad with mango. It is like having lunch and dessert at the same time. Good for you for knowing to put her off when you did.

Truncated. Well, that was in the days before blogs, I guess. Shorter writing is prized now, isn’t it? Ahead of your time, dear! Who wants to be long-winded anyway?

Beautiful looking salad Charlie. What a strange phrase “truncated and lectionary”..? I still am not really sure what she meant by that!

How rude! More flys with honey 🙂 Love this salad. I definately think that it would be great on these hot days. So thankful that the heat didn’t get too bad today!

I know I shouldn’t be but I’m constantly amazed at the need a small number of people have to criticize others. You were so right not to get involved. My feelers get a bit ragged when someone tells me that they think I’m full of crap so I simply stay away from negative people.

fwiw, I think you are a fantastic writer and there’s no truncation and lectioning ever in your work. She’s full of shit.

However… maybe she’d be a nicer person if she ate this salad. I’m sure it would make me nicer. I might not use bad words.

Oh, boo to Diane. I’m sure she didn’t even realize that you were writing for a church group…
