Supportive Happy birthday. I hope you're having a good day and a good year, really. I'm happy to see you take steps to be happier in your life. That's what I wish for you and hope to be able to contribute.
I was like..."wha...wha...WHAT?!" You essentially gave her your approval to seek happiness through OM. That was a blockhead comment. That was the message you sent out. IT is all right there. There's a way to send out a positive message without falling over yourself over it.
Remember...short and simple?
She replied and said it was a very kind message and gave me the most extensive update of her plans for the day. I call that a success!
She was being polite and extended some courtesy to you. Really. I wish you had left out this line: I'm happy to see you take steps to be happier in your life. That was a doozy to me. If you left this line out, then your HBD message would have been perfect.
Do you now see why I am shaking my head over that particular line, Mozza?
