I have a close family member who is a headless chicken. I find the comparison offensive.

Good morning, good afternoon, and good night.

Well, being mean spirited can often lead to to interment, but it really needs to escalate first.

Thank you

Thank you. I'm glad I was taught the correct rule. I'll show them this weekend *shakes fist*

BTW, sorry for the late reply. I was not getting an email saying someone responded to my post, so I thought no one replied. Gotta change that setting now.
