.@AlainGazouille I do usually think before I tweet -- in this case, yes, it was instant: but I wanted to share a 'good news' story! 1:17 AM May 25th via TweetDeck

@becky_psych It sure was. Made me very happy! 11:49 AM May 24th via web in reply to becky_psych
@sazzy69 Ha ha. Yes. That's my first lesson. The second is that kind honest deeds reverberate a long way (but I knew that) 11:16 AM May 24th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to sazzy69
