but msn told me to...

From my horrorscope:

For the next two weeks, break things down with people in an honest and realistic way. Cut through the fluff ["crap"--ed] so that you can discuss the real issues.

So, if I tell you I don't like your toenail polish or that you should rethink your career goals, remember that MSN told me to be honest and cut the crap. Of course, I don't exactly sugarcoat things as it is, so maybe I should ignore this particular piece of advice.
