My neighbour is a bad egg: he had not only put all of his eggs in one basket, I'm talking about his recent investment, but he put the blame on others when the company went bankrupt and he lost all his savings. I personally think, that he is the one who's got egg on his face.
Well done once again, Olena!
But you do not want to add a comma after the verb ("think"), and I would recommend using a dash or parentheses to separate the side comment:

Thank you. I'll try to keep in mind the comments about commas.
