A friend of mine sent her a generous donation and she NEVER THANKED HIM.<br /><br />I posted a comment on her blog about this, and guess what? My comment never appeared! And she STILL never thanked my friend. <br /><br />But she cashed his check....promptly!<br /><br />What a gal!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600670648603318536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-1511117694079547712009-08-18T16:54:31.369-04:002009-08-18T16:54:31.369-04:00Meryl Streep is just so amazing - no matter what s...Meryl Streep is just so amazing - no matter what she tries, she is great at it!
