ReplyDeleteI liked your thirteen and I have a question. How do you participate in the Thursday 13? Are all of them supposed to be communication or do you research your own thing and do it?
Great list about communication :D
ReplyDeleteWill you visit mine :D Thanks
Hey Gattina, I did it and I linked to you! thanks - Jen
ReplyDeleteGreat list as always. Happy TT.
ReplyDeleteWell said!:>
ReplyDeleteI love nnr 4, when all other means of communication fail, try words!
ReplyDeleteWhy did you repeat nr 1 and nr 5? this is my feedback, so you know I read the list, lol.
Happy TT!
#13 is something my hubby would have come up with in our conversations here.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't stopped by my T-13 yet, I have made thirteen new headers for everyone who wants them...just click on 'em and save 'em for yourself if you'd like!! Happy Thursday.
Funny cartoon!
ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful and appropriate communication quotes! Thanks for sharing and for visiting my WW at Small Reflections. I’ve had trouble connecting with your site in the past, but the last two days have been simple … so whatever the problem was seems to have taken care of itself and I’m relieved.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Gattina....here in the USA in the potato chip and snack aisle in the grocery stores, we have boxes of microwave popcorn. Already ready for you to just pop it in the microwave oven. In the box, there are small bags that are microwave ready. Just pop it in the oven set it for about 2 minutes and you have about 3 cups of popcorn.
ReplyDeleteHere's a link. Microwave Popcorn
You may not have the item in your country. But it's worth a try to see if you can find it in your local stores.
Great list. I like your #12. I believe in that.
ReplyDeleteMine's a little crappy.
You're welcome....hope you can find it. This microwaved popcorn is 'dry' popped...no oils, no frying. Supposed to be a great 'health food' for snacking.
ReplyDeleteIs number 5 feedback for number 1? Number 7 is funny! At a training recently for working with people with mental disabilities, we learned that body language communicates more than words do. Also, I'm remember one of writing mentors, John Holt, saying (paraphrased): a writer's first job is to be understood. The harder something is to understand does not mean it's more important.
ReplyDeleteSo many times No. 2 has gotten me into big trouble! Great list, Gattina. A keeper to be sure. God bless.
ReplyDeleteOnly veritas about communication.
ReplyDeleteCommunication is always very nice around a good tea or coffee and sweeties!
How little words can say, and yet how much! Great list!!!
ReplyDeletecommuncation is definately key!
ReplyDeletei liked this post...

Excellent TT. But I do have some comments or corrections:
ReplyDelete#9: Not far from the Truth because "The United States" is incorporated in England and most lawyers in the U.S. are members of the B.A.R. Association. B.A.R. stands for British Accreditation Regency and thus makes them loyal to the Crown of England. Very scary stuff that most Americans do not know. (From one of my US Cousins)
#13: False. There have never been so much communication among people as after the internet WWW (and now Web 2.0) and SMS.
I think my #2 will please you. LOL
I recognize #9. It was first said by George Bernard Shaw!
ReplyDeleteI love the quote about the leader. Interesting idea for a T13, Gattina. All bloggers love to communicate and of course enjoy getting feedback. Hope Belgium isn't as snowy as it is for Canada this weekend.
ReplyDeleteReally good list. "I do" hahaha.
ReplyDeleteDid you do 1 again to see if we are reading everything? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my TT trees slideshow!
