Well, truth be known, it is her nickname but that's what everyone who grew uop with her calls her... It's even in all her high school year books... I don't think there's too mant folks that know ger given name...

But now as to why I refer to her as "the" P-Vine when I write about her, heck if I know...

Awww, jus' funnin'... Tell you what... PM WYSuzie and ask her... She always knows stuff about my thinkerator that I ain't got a clue 'bout... Maybe she can shed some light on the subject and if she can please PM and tell me why I refer to P-Vine, who I call P-Vine, as "the" P-Vine when I writes 'bout her...

No BillD, I is just I, as in me, but with one less person there is less money. Umm, I don't want to criticise 'n' all that but should it have been <$   and not   >$   ?

Long time since I did maths too, but...

Helen

P.S. I hope you and the P-Vine are well and as happy as possible, Bobert. which reminds me, and forgive me if this has been explained, but why is she called "the P-Vine"?

P.P.S. Looking forward to your explanation which I am sure will have a creative logic to it.

You and I are happy, but when I am not around there is less money and you are not happy/there is sadness.

was right except for the bit about the children, and there was nothing in your equation to suggest children.

No, I wasn't elaborating on anyone's interpretation because I looked at the thread title on the main page and thought that that was what it meant.

I am a little in need of translation, though Bobert. Why does it say an increase in $$, i.e. >$. How does that fit with your statement? Are you saying that one adult plus kids get more money than 2 adults plus kids? I am not speaking from experience because I am rugrat-less but I hear tell that single parents are doing it really tough in the money department.

All over cyberspace, Bobert, the :) and the :( icons are used to represent the first person singular emotional state -- a smile, a sad feeling, and similar. Right.

So lessee.... you come along and pose this great mystery puzzle and we all work our keyboards to thebone trying to decode it....and now, at the last minute, you tell us you redefined those two symbols to represent happy and sad children?? Unilaterally defining common symbols to make a puzzle??

You oughta be horsewhipped, amigo. Here, tell ya what. Decode this one for me:

Sorry, bit I had a little mental health emergency in the familee night before last and yesterday morning thought that it would be a purdy good idea to get the P-Vine away from the farm fir a day 'er two... Yes, she's much better now... I din't mean to leave you all in the lurk and though no one has hit it square on the ehad the head has been struck... so...

Congrates to Helen fir the best shot...

Now if I were goin' to interject yer another clue and you all see either Helen's answer or BillD's then you will get it:

:) = happy child
:) = unhappy child

Yeah, this was my little Wes Ginny algebraic social comment about kid's livin' in one parent households... Yeah, I understand it it a generlization and not true in every case but unofrtubately it is the case in way to many....

From: Helen
Date: 15 Aug 05 - 05:24 AM

I still think my suggestion is a good one:

You & I (together) = happiness. You - I = increase in dollars (cost, i.e alimony) = unhappiness

BTW, the song that came into my head after posting that suggestion was:

"Love & marriage, love & marriage,
Go together like a horse & carriage.
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other"

I used to think that that meant no free love, i.e. no marriage, no love, but after seeing this hieroglyphic I'm wondering whether it isn't saying: where there is no love there can be no marriage. But since I am wrong in my translation then my allusion to this song is wrong too. Eh?
