hi homerbart. This man seems like a real charmer! had he got nothing better to say than insults? ignoramus, your friends were right about that.
Don't let his stupid insensitive remarks get to you. People often say things without thinking. If I had a pound for everytime my mother has said to me, "you are looking better today" (even when I was not looking bad before) well I thought! I would be worth a bob or two.
A woman at work said to me the other day "oh, have you got make up on today?" I said, yes always wear make up, she replied, "oh, well you have a bit of a glow today"
Chin up. You sound like a lovely lady
