		<description>i had to giggle a little&lt;br/&gt;when i saw the scrunched up &lt;br/&gt;wrinkle face, because i think&lt;br/&gt;i think the same thing...&lt;br/&gt;it easier to give compliments&lt;br/&gt;than to receive.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;and you deserve every nice thing&lt;br/&gt;that was said about you.</description>

		<description>When one cannot receive, it puts the giver in an awkward position - words from my long-gone grandmother. I loved paying her compliments. She always hugged me with such delight when I did. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You deserve writing awards. You express your thoughts succinctly and with such style. Lucky Ed, and lucky you that he can appreciate you so publicly and warmly :)</description>

		<description>I feel the same way... much easier to give compliments that to accept them.&lt;br/&gt;I&#039;m tickled your Thanksgiving came off without a hitch and you have that wonderful man in your corner.</description>

		<description>Reminds me of what I said I was thankful for this holiday, my husband. He makes it all possible, and I told him so. You should have seen the tears in his eyes.</description>

		<description>It isn&#039;t easy to accept a compliment gracefully, is it? I thank you for accepting mine. &lt;br/&gt;Don&#039;t worry about paying it forward- I am gratified that you&#039;ve accepted it :)</description>
