When I have my chore boots on, I like to kick cow piles over to see what's under them or to see what they are made of. Seems like I usually get a little on me.
When I turn it at night I reflect on what I saw that day. Some times I contemplate the kicks I got during the day and how many boots just quietly stepped over me.

J, I've been thinking about your question for quite a while now and I'm wondering what is wrong with simply accepting the fact that people are people? Some are diplomatic, some are not, some are patient and others are not, some can say things in the 'proper' way and others just state it flat out, some people never have a bad day nor get passionate about anything, but that is not the case for others. Simply because someone does not state things in a manner you or I (or anyone else for that matter) finds "acceptable" does not make them wrong, useless, mean-spirited, abrasive, or anything else for that matter. Life is about diversity and obstacles and, sooner or later, every one of us is going to have to deal with the tell-it-like-is person - whether it is a boss, co-worker, client, neighbor, parent, in-law, or whatever. How about putting yourself in that person's shoes and trying to understand where they are coming from, rather than judging them (I know - I've done it, too)? Every last one of us joined this board out of a love of cattle - be that a desire to learn , help, simply talk about cattle, or some combination of all of the above. Because of that I think it is up to each one of us to read the responses, take what we can use from them, and ignore the rest. This board was here long before you or I became members and it will be long after you or I have left. Just my thoughts.
