Walk in the shadow of a dachshund?? I don't think even Spaw could stoop that low ;o))

Great advice all round-- thanks. Littlehawk -- do dachsunds have shadows? Are they big enough to cast one. Remember what Mark Twain said about them -- would have been a much more practical dog with another set of legs in the middle?????? (Just teasing -- I am an ex dachshund owner and I love them but we have a bull mastiff -- now she casts a shadow!!!)

Don't make many festivals but do love the music.....

TRUEBRIT, I think you've done a fine job of jumping in with both feet. It's not necessary to go to any folk festivals...unless they're all just being nice to me and laughing behind my back.:-)

Ah...you may be pleased to meet Spaw now, TRUBRIT....but just wait! Eventually the grim realization will set in that you have been lulled into a false sense of security by a master of inane depravity, yes, a man who will stoop to any form of low and unconscionable behaviour in order to slander fine creatures such as Dachshunds...animals which he is not fit to even walk in the shadow of! And not only that, he even says rude things about Winona Ryder!!! Trust me, this is a very, very sick puppy we have here. An idiot of the first water. He should be confined to the East Wing of the NYCFTTS where he cannot do further harm to decent society.

I've only be around a couple of years or so, and felt welcomed and welcome pretty fast. certainly better than a well-known UK newspaper forum, where the first responses were an extraordinary mixture of hostility, suspicion, thinking I was. inter alia, a "sock-puppet", whatever that is. Horrible. Improved loads since, but still not the friendliness here.

NB. This is not an insinuating Cancerian attempt at eliciting nice words (which I've already had aplenty) (whatever 'eliciting' means).

...people who write with the opposite hand.

There's an interesting (well, interesting to me, but again, I amuse easily) thing to try...

With a full 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper on the table in front of you, take a pencil in each hand and simultaneously write your name with each hand -- but write it forward with your "dominant" hand and backwards with your weak hand.

Most people can make a near mirror image of their signature this way -- even if they've never even tried to pick up a writing tool with their weak hand.

Just another bit of useless trivia that you can spring on dinner guests when the conversation screeches to a halt.

Some people say that they can write upside down. I don't think I could. At least not very fast.

I take that back.

If I was hanging upside down I could still write. Pretty fast too. I'd have to. With all the blood rushing to my head I wouldn't want to take too long to write. I'd probably write something like, "Can I stop hanging here like this? It's terribly uncomfortable."

I seem to be able to wave hello with either hand. Some people say I look more sincere when I wave with my right hand. I've tried to see if there's anything to what they say, but the only way I can check is with a mirror -- and when I do that, I look like I'm waving left-handed. I must say though, I do look sincere.

Honky Tonk Blues

Well I left my home down on the rural route
I told my paw I'm going steppin out and get the
Honky tonk blues,
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Well lord I got 'em,
I got the ho-on-ky tonk blues.

Well I went to a dance and I wore out my shoes
woke up this mornin wishin I could lose
them jumpin honky tonk blues,
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Well lord I got 'em,
I got the ho-on-ky tonk blues.

Well I stopped into every place in town
this city life has really got me down
I got the honky tonk blues,
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Well lord I got em,
got the ho-on-ky tonk blues.

I'm gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm
And scat right back to my pappy's farm
And leave these honky tonk blues,
Yeah the honky tonk blues
Well lord I got 'em,
I got the ho-on-ky tonk blues.

When I get home to my Ma and Pa,
I know they're gonna lay down the law.
About the honky tonk blues,
Them jumpin' honkty tonk blues.
Lord I'm suffrin' with the honky tonk blues.

   It's also difficult who allow themselves to get riled, hurt or annoyed easily.

   The answer? To be objective about it, see if the poster has a point there, if not, think that it's the poster's problem manifested.

The other hand is always the one you don't see quite as clearly -- that's how to tell them apart. It is usually the one that does not know what the right hand is doing. And it gets put down for not being as handy as the first hand, and less valuable with things in it than first-hand things are. But if you are down on your luck, you quickly learn there are bargains to be had at an Other Hand store. On the other hand, no-one knows what's in store...
