Before You Leap
A thing I've learned the hard way.
Do not jump into the middle of a fray
and side with one or the other,
whether asked or not.
Especially if the warring parties are grown children and their spouses.
For the face that gets slapped on both sides,
will probably be your own.

Fine words for others to take heed from
Amazing how many don't take the advice

Took only one major war to learn this the hard way. But, thankfully they are still together and speaking to me. And, now they no longer ask for they know my answer. :-)
Thanks for the visit and comment Rose.

Picking sides sucks People can be so judgemental without possibly knowing the reasons in the first place I've been on the receiving end of "friends" and their sudden silences because they listened to just one side in my case my ex husband Go figure

So, so true. Two sides to every story and those who do not wait to hear both are normally the one to wear the egg.

That's a solid truth. Amazing how many don't heed it. Yeah, I'm staying way outta those wars!

Hope you didn't have to sit through this class on life's lessons also, for the bell can't ring soon enough.
Thank You Ash, for the visit and comment. It's appreciated as always.

Thankfully I never took the course...one might say I audited the class vicariously. Close enough for me to learn. Perhaps you can slip out the back unnoticed?

Nope, was a dope. Had to sit through it in it's entirety then do the homework. :-_ Some learn slower than others and many times I've had to sit in the corner wearing the funny hat. :-)

Wisdom? I don't know about, closer to un-stupefied (I know, not a word, for the squiggly line tells me so.) :-)
Wisdom? Wise? Scholar?, all questionable, but your visit without doubt:
Welcomed! Warming! Appreciated.

Yes, opinions like Feta cheese, my other loves it, I think it stinks. :-) Advise I can spew, following it myself, at times I slip and slide. Thank you Lady Crim, for your visits and comments are always appreciated.

My problem is I don't play games, yet, although I say it like it is, I'm always wary so as to not hurt anyone else. Everything else is sport. Pull!
BTW, like your write.

Scatter guns can be entertaining, as long as the trigger isn't pulled when it's aimed at one's foot. :-))))
Good attitude to have, David
