Not My Circus, Not My Monkey
Recently, Terry's sister Francesca told me of a phrase that helps her "let go" of other people's drama.
"Not my Circus, Not my Monkey" (originally, a Polish expression) disavows ownership of someone else's problem.
I liked the phrase so much that I decided to make up a tee-shirt with it. After some false starts, I came up with the following:
The graphics for front and back are organized into a single template that you can print on 8 1/2" by 11" transfer paper. The image looks like: 
but must be printed in reverse to transfer correctly.
You can use the file "Not My Circus.reverse.png" as that reversed image.
BTW, I have released both the "Not My Circus.png" and "Not My Circus.reverse.png" images under the Creative Commons Share Alike (CC BY-SA 2.5 CA) licence.)
