Warning - RANT!
Reminder to all of us -- Please use disgression, common sense and wisdom before passing along incredible tales, or maybe not-so-incredible tales, photos, videos, etc. These pass-alongs get bounced back and forth like wildfire before most people check them out. I usually go to http://www.snopes.com/ and find good answers. Snopes.com has the reputation for looking closely into the subject matter and digging deep to find the truth. Hitting that SEND button without even THINKING or verifying, is unwise and at times, cruel and slanderous.
Yes, I've been guilty myself !
And no, I'm not ranting about bloggers - it's personal e-mail that gets clogged up with "ya gotta read this" or "can you believe those numbskulls did that?", etc.
I am a quilter - a retired widow living in the Nebraska Panhandle. I am surrounded by beautiful semi-arid ranch country, and treeless hills and fields under incredibly wide blue skies, located far from the upheaval found often in large towns or cities. I am blessed to have delicious time to quilt and to appreciate my peaceful moments in an unpeaceful world.
