TODAY’S NON-WORRY

The first time I got an unpleasant comment on one of my blog entries it made me quite upset.  Couldn’t this person understand that this was just my opinion?  Couldn’t they see my point of view?  But as time went by I became more inured to this.  After all there are some people who just can’t disagree without being disagreeable. 

The other day someone wrote in about a restaurant review I did on Shelby’s Kitchen back in January, 2005.  It was surprising because I had actually given it a pretty good review, merely commenting on the lackluster service.  Obviously this fellow had Googled up the restaurant and came across my entry which he called “one of the most pretentious and obnoxious that I’ve ever read.” 

 Good thing I’ve developed thick skin.
