P: Agreed! Never said I was.

 

B: I'm not always a happy camper..agreed.

 

P: Two agreements in a row. We're getting somewhere!

Bob, I love you, as I love water, but suppose,

someone would put a funnel in my mouth and pour

gallon after gallon of the blessed liquid. Dosage,

Bob, dosage. Repeat that word as a mantras.

> OK Pete.but NO ONE is putting a funnel in your mouth.If it's all

too much..and certainly it may be, in the number of posts that I put

on the board, if you will...just click past 'em. As once before I

stated, we are not enclosed in a room physically, and thereby

conditioned and restricted to aural communications, with the most

talkative and loudest being the rub. In fact, if you observed me in

most social situations you'd be tempted to call me the wallflower. In

those situations, I enjoy observing rather than being a congenial or

boisterous participant in the cocktail talk. Once it was, at one such

fete, I mentioned as to how I wrote some little bit under a 'pen

name', can you believe it, I was asked " Oh..and what is that name " .

And this was coming not from an intimate friend.it was from someone I

hardly knew at all. Why in the first place would I have used such a

nom de plum if not to remain unknown to the readership. That is not

the case here. But I will not apologize for doing what I find

enjoyable, and as far as I can see harms no one. If offence is taken

at the number or content of any of the writings I post here..too bad

for the one so offended or overwhelmed. That is their problem not

mine..as I said..walk on by and continue to enjoy your life. Now

Peter we may have agreement on a couple of points as you said in the

post to which I herein reply; now how about answering a couple of the

other questions in the others clipped from this little running

commentary. It's easy to go back and get them. If instructions are

needed on how to do that.let me know. I can at least help, if not

teach.

You´ll probably find it hard to swallow but I´m not a fish.

And I´m serious, Pete, it´s not just a bait with a hook in it.
