I keep putting my foot in my mouth.

[m-jean03]

And on these really sensitive topics, in front of people I respect. :(

1. Seen in my daughter's classroom: A closed mouth collects no foot.

;) It happens to all of us.

All is usually forgiven unless it's outrageous, and I don't find you ever to be all that outrageous in your posting style.

Hugs,Laura

4. Ha, got to remember that one.

Thanks for the reassurance. I am so embarassed about a recent one! Erg...I think I will just drop out of a certain forum for a while!

2. We all do it...

We all have topics that are near and dear to our hearts and we go a bit over the top to defend those positions.

It happens. Welcome to the big, wide, wonderful world. :-)

9. "over the top" yep

That is the right phrase.

3. Live and learn.

Chalk it up to a learning experience. Grow from it and show your growth. People you respect will note that and acknowledge it.

6. It happens

There isn't a person alive that hasn't done it. We forgive you. :)

8. These reassurances are killing me

Because I keep wondering if all of you know just what I'm talking about.:)

[GOPisEvil]

10. LOL! We've ALL been there!

It's part of growing up.

[m-jean03]

13. But but but

m-jean thought she WAS grown up already! Thought, you know, that I was supposed to stop feeling awkward once I left my teenage years behind.:-)

[GOPisEvil]

14. Nope...I'm 35, and I still have lots of growing up to do.

Imagine getting run in circles be someone younger than you. ;-)

One thing I've learned is that people of all ages have something to teach us.

11. Nah...my head hurts too much tonight for me to even think of venturing

from the Lounge. ;)

[camero]

12. Unfortuneately

We do. I've done it quite a few times myself. :)

I get the cold shoulder for a couple of days from them and then everybody seems to forget about it because I guess they see more good than they do idiocy. I don't know exactly what but it doesn't matter really.

7. Just use a flavor you like for toe jam

and accept that you are human. Some days we are golden, other days we are the goat.

15. The taste of shoe leather is very familiar to me, too...

It's only human...
