You are so funny!
Your original response was just fine! Please...don’t give in to the PC police.
Bless your dad’s heart, and I thank him for his service. Thank you for your sweet and patriotic sentiments for my husband, as well.
You’ve never sounded dumb to me. ;o)
My Mother used to tell me, “In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.”
“Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.”
I prefer pleasant as well. Must be why I “attempt” to be humorous in my postings. Sometimes I'm successful.
I'm glad you're here Dixiechick.
