Ayup, that's about what it is like, sometimes, living with a Yankee, thank goodness he's got French Canadian passion, too!*BG*

LilNeo, I am sorry I didn't see your post before my last. I think you made some very good points. There is nothing wrong with being vocally demonstrative. I have read postings by other 'Catters from the UK, joking about their "reserved manner". Maybe it is this which makes some uncomfortable with some of our postings.
