I realize my posts overflow with meaning for you

Surely, I am not the only person aware of the meaning which overflows from your posts.

I really would much prefer them not to overflow, but I can't help it.

You must understand, average joe, that..."Diarrhea is nature’s way of getting rid of harmful bacteria or an infection, so antidiarrhea drugs are no longer recommended, as they may prolong the problem. Recurrent, persistent or bloody diarrhea should be investigated by your doctor."

SOME MORE MEANING JUST FOR YOU...

Luke had it before,
Paul had it behind,
Doctor Lowell had it before and behind,
And twice as bad as before;
Miss Gallager had it twice in the middle,
Before she was married,
Girls have it,
Boys do not;
It is in life,
But not in death.
