When you have nothing to say....

 

I had one of those experiences recently that made me wish someone else had been given the advice that Thumper gave Bambi:  When you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.  

Sometimes, of course, there are good reasons to say things that aren't "nice."  But when there is not a good reason and it is (apparently) for the sole entertainment of one's own ego, I agree with Archie Bunker:  "Stifle it." 

 Can you tell I got a new compass?  The Mandala below (colored with watercolor rather than photoshop) is rather clumsy.)

....as is the one below that was colored with watercolor pencil.
