See - you just gotta know how to use it the right way, and you are clearly not gossiping - more like, trying to help the poor girl in question by making her business known to women who maybe need to put a tighter leash on their own husbands  |
Our pastor talked about this in church a few weeks ago. 8th commandment and all (he's working on a 10 Commandment series). Said southerners think they can say anything about anyone, as long as it's followed with "Bless their hearts".
