[niyad]

to me, knowing that I would love it.

[Redleg]

[AverageOldGuy]

12. I'll do my best, but no guarantees . . .

I turn 80 this year and I vowed to be nice to everyone I meet in 2024 instead of being a curmudgeonly asshole, just in case the next time I see someone is my last time with them and I don't want them to have a foul memory of me.

I lasted until last Sunday when my MAGAt neighbor hoisted a new Trump flag.

[niyad]

14. I can well understand why your resolution could not last. Has the little

TRAITOR** lover removed the flag yet?

[twodogsbarking]

15. If I haven't completely offended you please allow me to try again.

[niyad]

17. . . .

[niyad]

[LiberalFighter]

28. Good advice.

[niyad]

35. Thank you.

[bucolic_frolic]

30. And it took you 3 weeks into the new year to face up to this?

You had to think it over?

[niyad]

36. Actually, no. A few other things had my attention-- near frostbite, helping

organize a wine tasting, my kitty, and making poppets.

[onecaliberal]

31. I so love you.

[niyad]

37. Back at you!

[MOMFUDSKI]

[brush]

34. Ok. That got a snort of laughter out of me.

[niyad]

40. Glad!

[ProfessorGAC]

41. Life's Too Short For Regrets

If you haven't specifically been told you offended someone, apologizing fir things that may not have even happened seems needless.
You're not a flamethrower around here, nor a habitual contrarian. You're a productive member here.
I wouldn't sweat it, if I were you.

[niyad]

43. Very kind of you, good sir.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

42. LOL

[niyad]

44. Enjoy.

[ShazzieB]

45. This post is a hoot!

For the record, I don't think you've ever offended me. Pretty sure I have disagreed with you somewhere along the line, but adults should be able to disagree without anyone being offended.

But I will try to improve anyway, just in case!

[niyad]

46. This whole thread is a hoot. . . DU'ers have the most deliciously wicked senses

of humour.

So glad to know that you will try, as will I!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

47. I am offended that you haven't offended me yet. Slacker!

[niyad]

48. Mea maxima culpa. I have put you at the top of my list, and will attend to

you when I finish my current batch of poppets!

[malthaussen]

49. "A gentleman is one who never offends unintentionally."

Update the gender for the present century.

50. Abhh, thank you. I just took a most fascinating sidebar trip looking for the

attribution of this quote. Very interesting indeed. I would have thought Twain or Wilde, but no definitive source to be found.

[malthaussen]

51. I saw attribution to Wilde, but I think it's one of those that go back a long time...

... as with the "Santayana" quote "Those who will not learn history are doomed to repeat it," which goes back to Edmund Burke at least, and has been paraphrased by many since. I wouldn't be surprised if some old Geek in Athens said it first.

52. Wowsa this is gonna be a nature battle...

I’ll never improve, so offend away…you just keep getting better.

[niyad]

53. Well, practice is supposed to make perfect!
