Sounds like it. I think we should all go by the rule of little Thumper's mother: "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." I mean, why bother? Unless one just likes to... heh heh ... stir things up. :) Of course, a response to the yuk stir up is always acceptable! First visit.

It was just what we needed.<br /><br />And OMG, comfort reading...yes.

I don't believe anybody has the right to decide what or how people should choose to relieve their stress.. if we like goofy memes then so be it, if we love animation then what does it matter to anyone else? The last thing we need is another mean-spirited person in this world. I like listening to 90s songs and especially the cheesy ones.. they help me laugh and dance away my worries and stress .. to keep the tears away on tough days and give me strength though I am ridiculously optimistic .. but once in a blue moon despair gets to me too. So yeah, to hell with those who ridicule. We love what we love, and nothing can take it away from us or shame us into thinking otherwise.❤️Sanaa Rizvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681404650477409830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3659263493425330078.post-20971729901060930732019-09-08T16:38:46.720-04:002019-09-08T16:38:46.720-04:00Agreed!
