My face still stings after that. Felt like I was slapped.
If I could work, I would !! Was really nice and told this woman, "OK, but I do have time. "
hmmm.. in the dumps today.
My reply is always, "If you want to do something bad enough you will MAKE time." That usually shuts them up. What those people don't realize is that we "non-workers" are busier than those who work at a "real" job. I love the one I have been getting when I tell people I am making charity quilts; "How nice of you." I don't do it to be "nice". I do it because I can and love sewing. Don't let it get you down. Too many people open their mouth before they put brain in gear.
