What do you mean 'no one will read'? Oh you of little faith. I read every word, even the misspelt ones!:)

That was a very enjoyable read! You little rebel, you — you’re a mass of contradictions. I have a similar story… but in reverse: from zenith to nadir.

Unstoppable, unbeatable, and never out-krazzied!

Thought not!

Hahaha, I can't help it. You moggie lovers are sooooo easy to trigger:)

The older I get, the less I believe in science. I do love your holey stones. Because they appear to be floating, at first I thought the image was photoshopped.

Haven't you heard the saying If you lie down with cats, you get up with fleas? 😆

Fair play to you for building the cart single-handedly. I’m hopeless without written instructions. Those little pictures might as well be hieroglyphics. Sorry to hear about your mom. I do hope you can

I don’t think there’s a single thing about me that annoys others. I simply refrain from the many things that make other people insufferable, which, naturally, renders me perfect.

It must be almost 50 years since I first heard that joke. I found it so funny, I've never forgotten it.

You're welcome, and steal away. I heard that joke from a friend when I was about 17 and I think this is the first time I've ever repeated it.

Since we're getting all risqué... here's one....A little boy is walking down the street wearing a welders mask when a man sitting in a parked car calls him over. "Sit in here beside me, little boy,"

Thanks a lot Mr. G. Much appreciated. @galenkp.

Make it as short as you like...as long as I'm on it😁

I'd swap a mansion for a Jamie any day😁

What a beautiful, moving piece of writing. The moment with the photograph in class, and your answer — I’ve been in a similar position myself, torn between risking the wrath of God by lying to save face,

Too late...I've already gone over to the dark side. Blessed are the ruthless, for they shall inherit the earth:)

Hear, hear! It seems scruples went out with the 20th century and were replaced by entitlement.

I write with my tongue firmly in my cheek. None of it is true. I'm actually a bad tempered, stingy little grinch:)

Berchtesgaden here I come!:)
