I never make it onto lists. And considering what most lists consist in, I'm pretty okay with that . . .

(Actually, I do remember making my dad's "s--t list" a couple of times, especially in my teens. Had an aversion to 'em ever since, lists.)

We made Cranberry's list!

Best wishes,

Well, yall three have been especially kind and gentle and generous and patient with me even when I was unkind, ungentle and unpatient. Not saying that nobody else has, of course, but it really is appreciated.

On a post per day basis, I feel positively taciturn...

I think most office workers in the UK now have broadband internet access, and probably in the USA too. When there's a lull or a tea break, a quick dip into the mad world of C&F to see what's cooking, who Amar's been flirting with today, or if they've let the UPers eat with metal cutlery again, is very therapeutic, and cheaper than bidding on eBay.

Dang! With approximately 3.9 posts per day, it's obvious that I spend wa-a-ay too much time here.

Being vaguely obsessive-compulsive, cutting back isn't really a valid option. Better to go cold turkey.

Well, Darwin, I do often find your posts worth reading if it's any consolation. I thought your advice "Shoot first, ask questions later." was really good.

I think Darwin vies for the Reasonable Person spot with Walden quite well. Somethin' about them Texlahomans. If Wombly wasn't quite as cerebral (being too brainy and using lengthy explanations undermines reasonableness), he would too, probably because of the Weekenders' Crackpot Theory #1501 about Australians being sorta like Texans.

No, I am not reasonable. I am from Caleefornya, where we elect movie stars to untie Gordian knots.

Me too. Hmmm. I wonder if that's common here.

I have to admit that I worry about the people who hang out at C&F throughout the day, bumping up large post numbers. It reminds me of my father, who is obsessive-complusive. I want to say, "Get a life!", but I don't want to offend any of my friends. Can anyone remember life before the internet? I was reading books, which I hardly do anymore, I am sorry to say.

Y'all are Quakers. It isn't "you are me," it's "I am thee."

Thee is a more egalitarian word.

Y'all are Quakers. It isn't "you are me," it's "I am thee." Thee is a more egalitarian word.

I try to use "thee" with other Friends and my family and my pets, but with "the world" I say "you". It's a bit inconsistent, I know. I'm afraid to use "thee" with people at school, for example, because they may not understand me, or they may try to "correct" something like, "thee is", which is valid Quaker speech (Plain speech never employed the "thou art" form because the original Friends came from the north of England where "thou art" wasn't used as much as "thee is"). I also am using tradtional Quaker month names and days of the week. That's much easier (for me) to do, though.

But izzarina was pretty Catholic last time I checked.

Wow, 8.5 post per day.... I'd better get a life, and soon.

Well, it does get better. At one point I had over 10 posts per day. Now I am at half that.
