              Gratias ago tibi, mi amice. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Even a year of high school latin couldn't help me here, I had to google it. Thank you my friend, I love your comment!!

                  I have and I do, but confess to be a little slack at times, so a gentle lashing from a friend is more than just worthwhile.
                  Thanks, Bella.

                  • Bella Shepard

                    Confession is good for the soul, or so I was told. But we don't have to confess everything do we? Consider yourself lashed gently with these words "You are a true friend who is cherished". Take care!

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    I try, Bella - Thanks once more.

                    Let the past be a teacher, the present a student. and the future that whispered voice in the ear. Got it, Great advice Bella πŸ™‚
