For some reason, people out there do not know that people who are not quite five feet tall don't know they are not tall.<br />I am 6'3" and my oldest son is just over five feet. One day a woman, who should know better, saw the two of us side by side and the difference in height was apparent to her.<br /><br />She said to my son, "You're short." <br /><br />I responded, "Short?! He's twice as tall as I was when I was half his size." She was dumbfounded and tried to figure out what I said. Then she said, "Oh, then he will probably be tall, too." She never realized how rude she was.<br />For those people who say "Talk to the hand," they sure better never say that to a redneck. We would take the hand with us to continue the conversation.

There are so many out there that need help. In our county, the "animal control" man hates cats and he gasses them as soon as he gets them. :( I don't know what he does to dogs or how soon, but it is immediate for the cats as I understand it. It is awful. <br /><br />I sorry that your work place closed. I hope that things are working out okay for you in spite of this big change in your life.<br /><br />Have a blessed weekend. :)Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212778319280550447.post-72662778926533948522016-07-01T07:59:37.549-04:002016-07-01T07:59:37.549-04:00Yvonne, your answers are really heartfelt.

Our critters are not afraid of fireworks, though we have had some who were. I would love to open a shelter.There is always need. Nasty people made me so sad. Always. I have called people on it.<br />Thanks for being a part of Friendly Fill-Ins. Have a great weekend.
