Do or do not. There is no try.

A Chic Chick Quotes Yoda & You Will See Why.

(Apparently unhappy with someone several years ago I wrote this, forgot about it, and stumbled upon it recently.

Thankfully I can't recall who was so annoying, and got a laugh from the list. 

Now I share to give you a smile, too.

And if you re on the 'excuse giving' side of this story: STOP.
