There is kiss up, then there is suck up, and there's out and out brown nosing. I think you are very nice to call me a kiss up when deep down inside you could be suspecting that I'm a suck up. Please don't be offended because I talk to you like I know you. You are funny, therefore I do know you.
Several years ago,Joan and I went to a yard sale.She bought a ring that was owned by Mrs. Vogel Sr..
The lady that was selling the ring made a point of telling us that it was Mrs. Vogel senior for a reason. The Vogel family had a car dealership where I live in California and she was the wife of the owner of the car dealership. They're out of business now but when I was a kid they were very active. Does any of this resonate with you.
