Helen, thanks for your tone! I was afraid you'd take it seriously- well, I don't mean 'seriously' actually, because I was serious, but since I no longer think of mispellings and mispronunciations and grammatical misusage as character defects, I hoped you'd hear the smile in my words.

My communication vehicle tends more to the Volvo- it's fairly dependable but definitely not fancy. But, oh! aren't some of the Rolls Royces on the Mudcat lovely! (On occasion, the Toyota too gets pretty eloquent)
