I complain the people don't talk about anything new, but fall back into the rut of what they always talk about. I must be right, because I sure did it!

Personal niceness. Yes, I've been a beneficiary more times than I can count. CDs, books, invitations to homes, and other things I value. Other people's willingness to overlook my immediate goofs is nice, and smiles are wonderful.

Maeve, I didn't know that about crows--thanks.
