decorate--->deteriorate------->expectorate--------->expatriate.......
all these transmogrify into one another...

Open Mike,

Good communication is the art of making your point understood by the recipient.

Would you like to elucidate on exactly what you mean, please?

Sounds like:
Decorate happens first, but the paint or the new carpet or the new furniture deteriorates. You get disgusted and spit. Then you move out.

Thanks for the explanation, Dave.

Presuming your explanation to be correct, I suppose that the time (although it's never a single moment) when the negatives start outweighing the positives would be the answer to the original question.

the first thread was entitled:
when do you start to decorate
it was followed by:
when do you start to deteriorate
then:...expectorate...

very logical progression, really, for a mudcat...that is..
ok, satisfied with my statistics??? if you had followed the threads
you might have seen the progression....
we skipped the step of "decortate"

at least no one has started a thread entitled:

When do you start to masturbate.....

I ex-patriate after the seventh double.

Masturbate? Naw, I tried it once and didn't like it.

Almost immediately after I stop patriating.
