Well, now ... we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one, Kathy ... it's the ones who perpetually go around wearin' their emotions/sensitivities on their sleeves who need to lighten up, in my humble opinion.
Not necessarily, beldin. Your reference point is "perpetually" - mine is not.
I don't care for people who PERPETUALLY go around wearing their emotions on their sleeves. Those people are generally in a "depressed" mode.
No, I mean if ONE (in the general sense) suffers a sudden LOSS of any kind, there is a time period that they are allowed to wear their emotions on their sleeve.
You suddenly lose a spouse, a job, a child, a sibling, your home - whatever it is, then you are entitled to express sorrow, or "wear your emotions on your sleeve."
We might just have a semantics misunderstanding here.
PERPETUALLY -
