Too much here to comment on all at once, but first; my only intent WAS to
have a private place to visit, catch tips etc. All this pword stuff
sprang up and so naturally I thought the party was over, the big guys
would hole up somewhere and that would be that. Had zero interest in
taking all kinds of risks and all of that, just had the hope that someone
would give the lurkers a hint. You have been most helpful, mainly with
your warnings, words of wisdom etc and it has been rather fun, here in
this out of the way place. Feel as though several people have been
watching out for the hapless lurker, you, simian, triple dot, and even
rusty has surprised me with the encouraging word here and there. All of
which is very nice...but to be suddenly and unexpectedly invited to the
party by the grand host himself? I still cannot suss it. And all I have
to do is the very thing I vowed never to do..get in one step deeper.
Agonizing. I am still not too confident that I will be able to do much
with the invite, if it does in fact show up...but really...it is just a
little hard to resist? As to you and simian, I see no conflict, but if
ever I do convo with him, however briefly, I will ask that you be sent an
invitation, and put in a good word or fifteen for you. Seems silly, but
of course I will. Again, a direct invite is pretty hard to turn down..I
just wish it wasn't so stinking I-spy_like. Wish it were over
already..I..doan feelin too good mon.
