(I think that was the year) and I asked her what she wrote. She sighed, and said she hoped to be a Carly Phillips one day. :thumbsup: In regard to the green eyed monster, I strangle the bitch the moment I realize she is trying to take hold. I'm a big believer in Karma, too. I refuse to waste my time on negativity. It can eat you alive. You ladies are great. I'm glad you have each other.

Simple, straight-forward, easy to remember. LOL Janelle on the lovefest. Sometimes we all just need a cyberhug. It's a bit unrealistic to ask that we all "just get along", however we can all respect each other. As they say, cream rises to the top.... Phyllis, great questions!

I like your Golden Rule Leslie and I try to live by it myself. My mother used to say to me that if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Works for me.

Because it got to the point where people spread nasty rumors about me. I got a job within a police dept that my father was their previous chief. SO everyone thought i got the job because of him, little did these people realize i struggled thru the academy without his help or anyone's help except for my own. Now every day at work i face people who are jealous of me and i learn that i dont trust one of them because they rather spread vicious nasty rumors instead of focusing on their job. Someone once told me their jealous of me because im pretty and i talk to the men. I go to work with a smile and then i go out to my post with a smile then i leave with a smile. I do this because i know who my true friends are and who will always back me up. I think your topic was great today. I :love2: the plotmonkey websites, and I :love2: y'alls books. :thumbsup: Hugs, Elisa :wave: Hi Leslie,

No matter what type of business you are working in there is "office politics", back stabbing & jealousy. It is really the pits. One place I worked I had a supervisor that did not support me, it was not fun to deal with. Experiences like that give us a chance to learn & grow. I try very hard to not intentionally hurt anyone for any reason. If soneone reads a book that they don't like I can't see anything positive by bad mouthing it to everyone. When I read a book that I didn't care for about the most I will say is "this book didn't work for me". Maybe it was my mood, the subject matter who knows. I do love that we can be "fangirls" & let you & other authors know how much we enjoy the book we just read. I can't imagine contacting an author to tell her/him that I didn't like the book. After visiting the Plotmonkeys & a few other authors I know how hard you all work on your books therefore I only want to pass praise along for that hard work & effort to continue to entertain us all. Thanks for letting us be "fangirls". :love2: Leslie, great subject for today. No matter what type of business you are working in there is “office politics”, back stabbing & jealousy.

Now, there were times that my dad didn't let my sister and I talk if we were being ugly(but we are best friends now, so it's all in the past), but over all I still try to apply that saying as much as possible even as an adult. I love what class acts all the plotmonkeys are and I love the idea of thanking someone for saying something mean. My grandmother always said you catch more flies with honey...I guess it's true with people too. The rule in our house growing up is if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all.
