The renowned preacher, Reverend Frelish Abatus, always gave lengthy sermons, of which, most people let go in one ear, and out the other, without really paying it any attention.

I am not sure about you, guys. When I speak, I must use tone and emotion to put life into my words. This is how I communicate my feelings along with the words to people. For the writing part, I can sense the real feelings of the...

I have been called "direct." I know what it means, I know it's not a compliment. But quite frankly I don't care. I won't stand for any nonsense. And that's not a criminal offense.

I've had this happen to me many times where I want to say something but the words just don't come out.
