I think this is something that unfortunately happens all to often in everyday life. I know I've been guilty of it at times and this is a reminder to seek first to understand.

I wanted to comment at every letter your wrote, but I'll spare you the four-page comment. <br /><br />To sum up - I LOVE the idea of a pump bump (gotta get me a pump and a willing participant). <br /><br />I DESPISE the substitute teacher, the manager, the Anti-Charity guy and the couple at Panera.
