I enjoyed the sign at the top. Very clever. I wonder if I could do one for the farm animals that read something similar in reverse!

When you would state fact to them they would say well I suppose as if I don't know what I am talking about. The public is a necessary evil. I just wished the majority were pleasant to work with rather that just a few. I didn't want to work retail after dealing with them with the one summer and the frame shop became such a negative experience.L.

After reading your blog for awhile, when you mentioned working at the museum I smiled at the wonderful perfect fit. I feel sorry for the little old lady with the negative vibes; she is a sad woman. She carries that negativity with her everywhere and wonders why she is lonely. Keep up the exceptionally good work. You have wonderful ideas and you are able to carry them to fruition. Good for you.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-65618537616129509152011-06-12T21:41:19.218-05:002011-06-12T21:41:19.218-05:00Some people say the darnest (or stupidest) things....Some people say the darnest (or stupidest) things.

The trick is to let it go and focus on the positive, happy ones. And I suspect that if you stay a while, you just might know about ALMOST everything in the museum!Nancy/BLissed-Out Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17223278142557533175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-71726708171714182282011-06-12T17:22:54.079-05:002011-06-12T17:22:54.079-05:00Sounds like you have a good positive attitude--pos...Sounds like you have a good positive attitude--positive that old biddy needed to go home and take the knot out of her panties.

I hope your day has been wonderful and that you weren't too tired after the fundraiser. The more important thing is I hope you made a lot of money!<br />Yes, there are some challenging people in our lives. One thing we have discovered is it seems the ones who are the most challenge generally have some kind of problem or disappointment they have not resolved. However, understanding them doesn't make it any easier to deal with them!!!Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-51158109107497455712011-06-12T13:23:58.855-05:002011-06-12T13:23:58.855-05:00That is a great sign!

She is an old biddie too. Although for some reason I love her dearly and always have. I'll say something and she'll turn it until she is right and I am wrong.
