After publishing a new post, I got positive feedback from the WA community. Everyone, thank you! When I shared the post on facebook, I got a heartbreaking review. The post, Miss Millie, was offensive to a person and let me know it. She refused to see the humor and finished the conversation with her views on the time I spend on my blog. She told me to get a real job.

I thought about what she said about the character, and I changed her name. Miss Millie is now called Miss Ruthannie. My intentions were not to offend anyone or show any disrespect to my grandmother or anyone else.

Please let me know your thoughts on the situation.
Thanks,
Patty
