Actually I do tend to think that I'm boring. I've had a complex for nearly 40 years when one of my, now, closest friends called me a 'boring old fart'. Which, I have to say in his defence, he strenuously says that I took out of context. I laughed, though, because when I write that I do rather hope that people will say I'm not. I shall not do it again! As for you being shallow what you are saying is that you sometimes read or post 'shallow' things. We all do. Some of us are happy to admit it and others are not. I am. I often read and watch 'shallow' books and films and most of my posts are pretty inconsequential. Should we be apologetic? Certainly not. We cannot campaign to save whales and the environment all of the time.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-46319098179579480452014-04-25T11:17:45.094+12:002014-04-25T11:17:45.094+12:00I hope to Red, I really do.I hope to Red, I really do.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-35602644719008186352014-04-25T11:17:27.641+12:002014-04-25T11:17:27.641+12:00Carol you're correct.
