Re: Re: survey

I've got enough to spare. I'm sure most people wish I had a lower "dose"
of assertive - LOL. Like my T-shirt says "tact is for people not witty
enough to be sarcastic."

My friend Debbe sulks if she can't get a hug, but I figure she's got plenty

of people she can grab.  She's always been a hormonal mess and her brother

is seriously bipolar so maybe she has a touch of that, so I try to give her

a little latitude on it.

Yes, I too, have gotten more assertive on many fronts as I've gotten older,

but some areas still need work.
