The curs looked a little too hungry for my liking, and not all that hospitable....

I think Neil made my point - like they used to say about wireless - the pictures are so much more vivid than they ever are on the TV.

I could be watching all kinds of spectacular stuff happening on the TV right now, with a drink in my hand, if I wanted. So instead I'm sitting up here looking at a screen with words typed on it, and taking my time making my contribution. Noone's going to interrupt me while I'm saying it. It's custom made for boring old farts like me -and with an aging population there's more of us around every year from now on.

Oh my god Neil, if I lived in your trailer, it would be like living with Zsa Zsa Gabor from Green Acres.

Bonnie, lass....just think of it as an up close and personal bird's eye view of Nature's inevitable and relentless assault on civilization: In the end, Nature always wins.

And kendall - I didn't know we were neighbors!!

And a special apology to grammarians and pronoun police everywhere for the dreadfully shameful faux pax in the last paragraph. Woe is I (grammatically correct, I'm told - but it sounds awkward. If "woe is me" was good enough for Shakespeare, it's good enough for me). Perhaps I should've stroked, "And on the porch sit I." Opinion?

My dear Mbo.
No, but good try. If the truth be known it is:
There Is Nothing Like A Good Shit!!!
That's sociologists for you!!!!
Haven't told you.....I believe these days.
But beware, my brother could show up at any time and at any place!!!!!
Why do I keep getting whisked back to the real world?
Because when I'm here and get involved it sometimes seems as if I never want to leave.

BK, what are you, a coroner or a policeperson? That's the only place I've seen those acronyms.

I write like I talk, but then I've been known as a linguistic priss all my life. :-)

My only problem with the lack of spell checking and that is when I encounter too many of them, I will

1 - dismiss the speaker/writer
2 - Assume that the person doesn't care, so why should I,br>3 - If they don't care to take the time to correct what they've written, why should I waste MY valuable time trying to figure it out!

I don't have a university education either, but I do try to write to make sense. One of those things is to ensure that as much of what I post is correct as regards spelling. There will always be typos, but I think the effort is worth it. Also, thinking before you "speak", sometimes will avoid embarassing moments later.
