Charles of the Agile Mind: Thanks for the wishes about the weekend! Your attempt to resuscitate the thread has helped make it pleasant. Somehow, along the lines of the name of our thread, I have this eerie feeling that the somabish's been brought into the world - deliberately - and it is now, in a way, forced to fend for itself. This is nasty and neglectful! The poor dearie's going to gather dust. Then it'll fall into that long, depressing list of items that I should be taking care of - and my sort-of-sense-of-guilt will be magnified. Ah, well. It's too late to even consider abortion. The thing lives! Infanticide, involuntary infanticide. That's what'll probably happen. I will do a few responses to your 'points.' 1) Stop putting yourself down, for god's sake! You're one of the most versatile verbalists I have ever run into! And me, erudite? Maybe a lot of time done in school, but no content. When I was young, I wanted to write, but had serious Writer's Block, not because a whole gush of stuff was being impeded, but because the was nothing there. I am one of the least informed people you will ever meet! If you ever take a trip to Rambi or Feelings, you'll see knowledge of all sorts, knowledge that in an ingrained part of how the posters live, I am incapable of substantively contributing to such threads, only as a pain in the neck, which is not very substantive. 2) I WANT TO HEARK! Damnit, it ain't fair that I am prevented from HEARKING! Besides general knowledge, spelling's been about my lowest suit - and my instincts tell me that I can heark if I please to. And I think I will just go ahead and do it. 3) I conned myself into the walk yesterday. Oxford Health Care has a magnificent bunch of goodies. Just joined, the beginning of the month. One is "Walking Groups". So, I set up a date with the jolly toad of a lady, a "Coach" - for god's sake! I was obliged to walk. Did not do it voluntarily. Like today, don't bet on me walking. Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow I will walk - or start picking up my cabin. Two reasons lay at the start of Procrastination. One was my absence of qualification for quality threads. The other actually had to do with my procrastinating. Like, I feel it would be grand if some of us severe, chronic procrastinators came out of the closet - specifying the specifics of out shortcomings. Then, as in a Support Group environment, we would jostle each other into getting our things done. Jesus! Charley, I have babbled off, uncontrolled. I offer my apologies. (Did this yesterday, too. With Cobalt.) Off to the proffered good weekend, geo PS: 1) My cabin is so tiny, there's hardly room for me - literally. A dog would simply not fit. Also, I doubt if I'm responsible enough to tend to its needs. 2) You have a nice weekend! 3) Please do not feel any need at all to respond to this gabby garbage. g. PPS: The machine told me there ain't no such thing as a "verbalist!" Why can't it just tell me that it means verbally adept? Shsss! g
