Last night I was having a discussion with my oldest daughter Jennifer, and one of the things brought to my attention is that apparently I "offend a lot of people" because of the way I state my opinion. I do not preface my likes and dislikes or preferences or "opinions" with "In My Opinion" or " "I think". I just say "That is an cute puppy." for example, (insert any noun for puppy, and any adjective for cute).
So, I would first like to apologize for ANYONE and EVERYONE I have ever offended because I have spoken with out first saying "In My Opinion".
I would like to state, "In My Opinion", that I have NEVER thought I was speaking for anyone other than myself. I have never spoken on behalf of society, the world, or God.
For future reference, when I say "That is a cute puppy", I am only speaking of MY opinion. I am NOT telling you that you have to agree with me, I am NOT telling you that you are wrong if you don't agree with me, and I am NOT telling you that anyone else agrees with me.
If I am stating an opinion OTHER than my own, I preface it with "Cindy thinks that is a cute puppy", "Catherine thinks that is the best pizza in the world", etc., etc., etc.
So, I would like to apologize in advance if I offend anyone in the future for any reason, whether it be by stating "My Opinion" with out that particular preface, or if I offend you in anyway period.
"My Opinion" is worth what you pay for it...........absolutely nothing, but I still have one, and admittedly, offer it "freely".

This ENTIRE blog is "In My Opinion"
