if you came with instructions what would they be *

It's hard to label myself but would have to say "handle with gentle, warm and honest feelings." This discussion motivated my brain. It was a better jump start than a cup of coffee. Thanks for posting this discussion and welcome to myLot.

Hi, derry Mine would be WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET. I have always tried to operate with sincerity. If I do not like you, I will not stay too close to you. If I would like to be your friend, I will definitely be friendly to you. That simple. I had a bad experience with a couple of friends who do not understand this. They accused me of being plastic and some back-biting. Never had time to do those things. And now, needless to say, I stay away from them because I would not be sincere if I smiled through my teeth at them. Anyway. Enough reminiscing. Have a nice day!

1- Don't try to tell me what to do. 2- Don't criticize. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. 3- If I say that I need to be left alone, leave me alone! 4- If you want my advice ASK for it. If not, I'll be glad just to listen. 5- Compliments are appreciated if they are sincere. 6- Respect my boundaries and we will get along just fine. Despite those rules, I'm a lot more approacable that I sound. Really! :-)

Hmmmm, let me think a minute. CAUTION: Dynamite comes in small packages. That would be me! That was fun.
