YOUR OPINION WILL BE VERY APPRECIATED. IT MAY BE EXPRESSED ANY WAY YOU WISH : AS GRAPHICS, FUNNY STORY, QUOTE ...

I use to beat around the bush ... when I am not sure if I deserve what I wish or like to gain :) ... Then, when my self esteem is in a deep dream ... or when I feel luck of knowledge or information, but feel ashamed to admit ...

WHAT`S ABOUT YOU?

I expect you`ll not beat around the bush speaking off beating around the bush :)

Sincerely,

ЛУКА / LUKA

	How funny! Yes I us this technique quite effectively. My mouth is moving-a lot of words are coming out-but I dare you to figure out what I'm talking about. Used most often in the presence of someone who is asking a lot of questions that are none of their business in order to maintain a polite veneer instead of really saying "Get out of my face you nosy fool!" Have a good day:)

	Hi Luka, Thanks for your personal message, "Beating Around The Bush" is always used by politicians because they never ever give you a straight answer! Its also used by people who should "Make Sure Their Brain is Engaged Before They Put Their Mouth Into Gear" Best Wishes John.

	HI Luka, Beating around ths bush is playing games. Politicians us this all the time, beat around the bush. So what is beating around the bush, but stories, or lies. I am a firm believing in telling the truth, because sooner or later the truth will prevail. Myrna
	LOVE IS THE ANSWER
