Not necessary to hang on to them…

My daughter has a similar solution. When she gets frustrated at people, she finds their picture and if the person is a female, she'll draw a mustache on the picture, and if, male, she adds long hair and connects the eyebrows together. Then she laughs. And feels better! Keli, I like your solution.

Don't let the turkeys get you down (for more than an hour or two) because they're not worth your sanity. I love your quote about ill-will. I had a similar experience with a relative last week (well, not similar in that he didn't let me sell his house for him because I am not qualified to do that) but a relative behaved very stupidly toward my grown-up daughter and hurt my feelings (and called forth my ire) ... but I processed it and let it go. He's the stupid one and I shall not align with him! Keli, you are so right. Don’t let the turkeys get you down (for more than an hour or two) because they’re not worth your sanity.

I think I'll have to try your cut-up suggestion on my relatives.On their pictures, of course. There are a lot of dumb, thoughtless people out there and sometimes they happen to be relatives.
