One of my basic rules for living a guilt free life is, never say anything detrimental about anybody unless you have already said it to their face. There might still be a feud but at least everybody knows where everybody stands.slaghammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09953077995449374710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33571361.post-57328823250240094322006-12-23T23:15:00.000-05:002006-12-23T23:15:00.000-05:00Hearts-

Call it karma, call it whatever you want, but the dish of revenge tastes best when guilt is in short supply.
