Hi,
I’m Truevyne’s friend who clicked through your blog. I really wasn’t offended I just accidentally clicked on the link and didn’t really have time for it right then.
When I read your comment I had to go find the cuss word and really laughed when I read it. I can imagine those other ladies falling over in shock and never talking to the woman who said “bitch”. It could still happen in the south, and I live in Tennessee.
