Do you talk to your computer screen?

Okay, come on, fess up!! I do!!

So just this morning I was catching up on some of my blog reading and was just stunned when I read Stephanie Nielson's, (known in the blogging world as NieNie) blog today. I know some of you who read my blog follow her too. She was involved in a private plane crash in August 2008 with her husband and friend, who was the pilot. The friend did not survive the crash but Stephanie & her husband Christian did. But with terrible burns. They both fought for their lives. Her husband literally pulled her from the plane. The struggle and pain that she has gone though is just amazing!! She is AMAZING!!!

Today I read her blog about the rudest, most careless, inconsiderate comment made to someone that is obviously a burn victim. A woman said to Stephanie while standing in line at the grocery store “Oh, I feel just the way you look!!” CAN YOU IMAGINE?!?!?!?! I literally gasped out loud and started talking to this "woman" (and I use that term loosely) and her thoughtless remark. I'm just stunned. Of course, I don't know where this woman's head was or how her day had gone to make her say such a thing. But really, who had the rougher day? I'd say it would be Stephanie.

So what is the message of this rant of mine. Be careful of what you say. Or be like Thumper "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all!"
