@Merry Andrew,
Soft chuckle (anything harder hurts).
I was definitely not fishing for compliments with this topic, but I do greatly appreciate them of course.
I love reading just about everyone's postings. One thing we do here is, we open up ourselves. In whatever rash, loving, stupid, silly, funny, angry, pedantic manner that we have. Not only do I feel I know you all, I almost feel like I know what to get you for your birthdays (an earthenware dish for ossobucco, a gift certificate for a computer store for Thomas, a history book for Merry Andrew, perhaps something by Paul Fussell?).
Propers to the stealth Mods. New trench coats for all!
