How can I have missed that salient fact, Dorothy?
Just remembering that you told some luckless soul that you were really a woman; why was that exactly??
Kinda funny story that but were just setting this poor soul up.
Looks like you have a cruel sense of fun.
My dear Clary there isn't a cruel bone in my body.
No, usually the bones are neutral, but the thoughts and sense of humour may turn out less virtuous.
Ofcourse it is understood one should never play a joke on an individual which may degrade, harm or hurt his feelings, it must always be done in good jest with no ill-will intended.
Pretty sententious, that, some people are always too fragile for jokes and others have the robustness of a rhinoceros.
Quoting a difficult subject very well Clary, the big question is always, who can and who can't take it.
Realising that it is entirely the choice of the 'receiver' of insults or jokes to be upset, angry etc. is a big step on the way to healthy independence of mind.
Sunday has brought us a cool change after the warm weather of the last week, a very cool 22 degrees is the forecast but no rain.

Up the creek is a commonly heard saying. If someone or something is up the creek, they are in real trouble. Up the creek without a paddle is an alternative, and up **** creek (without a paddle)' is a ruder form.
Valuable jewellery is used in India as a form of insurance. Every girl has her gold or silver bangles, currency that she can sell if in dire straits.
Welcome Wagons seem almost to be a thing of the past, and that's sad, because they proved invaluable in many cases in welcoming newcomers to the area.
Xpressing total lack of knowledge of Welcome Wagons, are they hot dog stands or some kind of chocolate bar?
You know, around here they are (or were) a person or group who would come to your new residence and welcome you to the area with a basket of coupons, discounts and the like from local merchants and a conversation about the area. Is that about what it's like where you are, Mame-y?
(BTW - Hello! Long time no see!)
Zealously I am about the threads but now its time to zoom out.
Amazing what happens to new people in American towns, I am quite glad that my removals are not everyone's business here in Britain.
