My friend yelled at me at lunch today. We were eating lunch with a professor and when it came time leave the professor picked up the bill. I said, "Oh, are you picking up the bill?"
The professor said: "I could," and then went off to pay it. My friend hissed at me how rude that was, and accused of me of seeming cheap and I agreed. So, I went to the ATM, withdrew some cash, wrote an apology note and shoved it and some money under the professor's office door.

I hope that resolves all potentially bad feelings between all parties.

As I explained to my friend, sometimes -- ok, maybe more than seomtimes -- I open my mouth and words just come out; just the first thing to hit my brain. And it's not always the most appropriate.

40. Speaking The Right Words
I silence my ego. Push the mute button. Now I call upon the Light to speak on my behalf, on all occasions, so that my every word elevates my soul and all existence.
