People, that's what makes horse races---differences of opinion. I suspect I'm reacting to visualizing my wife, who is quite ill, having the "funny stuff" described here inflicted on her when she knocks on some door. The best part of what she does is that, to paraphrase again, it keeps her ON the street. :-)

Rick, sorry if I've seemed inconsistent and been a disappointment to ya. Lately I guess I'm just not a people pleaser. One persons joke hits the other guy over the head with a 2x4. But it does get his attention. The infamous condom thread you mentioned was a failed attempt by me to point out that we were getting away from music. There was no other motivation for starting that one. When it became obvious that many here wanted to go with the talk radio format I decided if I couldn't beat 'em, I'd join 'em. So I put in my two cents when the urge came over me or when I thought something I knew or had been through would be of interest. Could be I should start an ethnic joke thread. ;-) But that might bring in too much adverse reaction from potentially violent folks. Telling the funny things we've done to Witnesses is safe---like giving the finger to someone from the relative safety of your car; But I doubt the J.W.s would react with road/door rage.

Affectionately,
