Hey, Bob (she said, still giggling), I'm still not done with Part Deux; had various interruptions the past couple of days. I just now started to watch the Welles interview and discovered it was 2-3/4 hours long. I think I'm going to bypass it for now and go on to the rest of your post. Hopefully I'll have the response finished tonight, but I hate to guarantee that after having missed my other ETAs.
Share being awesome: Steve, Happy New Year to you and the whole family! I'm so grateful for your even tempered and profound voice on FFL. And thank you too for the personal compliment. As for the vacation costs, may they be quickly compensated for by great business in the coming months. Safe travels and all the best always.

Steve being profound: You know what I think part of the problem might be, is that for me, it is "just a chat room", and so I enjoy it on that basis. From Share's posts I'm getting the hang of what it takes to be awesome, but I'm not as confident about what it takes to be profound (on "just a chat room") - can you help me out? Now Judy doesn't like that term. For her it something more formal. Now, nobody likes, or abides lies. Okay, that's a given. But how in the hell, can someone find so many lies in what other people post, day after day, month after month, year after year.................... Have I got this right, they can't be lying because they do it so often; how bout they can't be lying cause they're so bad at it? Something wrong there I think. I wonder what it could be? And do you think, that, just maybe, many or most of those "lies" may just be differences of opinion? If you were taking the position that liars are often opinionated, I would not disagree, but it does not necessarily follow that just because Curtis told us he was only expressing his POV, that he was lying; despite the fact he was so awesome at times. Talk about a week blanket! Could you unpack this one for me? And I can't tell you how many times Judy has missed irony in other's postings! Can you cite an example or two, or is this just an opinion? If you can cite an example, I would ask that it not be Richard's claim that after Mary Magdalene saw him in the sky, Jesus flew down to Damascus like Superman, and knocked Saul off his horse; because, frankly, I think Richard is dead serious. Don't get me wrong, I'm willing to give Richard a pass on moving Damascus (if we allowed Barry to move Montmartre to the left bank, I figure we can let Richard move Damascus to the Hajaz - unless in Texas they've started to claim they're going to mosey on down when they take a trip to New York), its just this whole St. Paul as Lex Luther thing that has me a bit worried. Bob, hate to the one to break the news to you, but that says something about a person's state of mind. I agree, honesty speaks volumes about a person's state of mind, and their character too. Now, evidently you enjoy the kind of "rigor" she brings to the place. And I think she is a smart lady, and finds many inconsistencies. But can there ever be too much of a "good" thing. I think there can be. This is something new to me, and I promise to give it some serious thought; assuming I have it right, and that you're saying that honesty has its place, but, like crack, it can be abused and too much of a good thing? Also Bob, please excuse my misuse of the work "onset" to describe Richard's posts. How about onslaught, does that work better? I've just been reading through them, and I think he is a really funny guy. I agree if you think being (profoundly) intellectually insecure is humorous. And another confession, I've had a few off forum discussions with Share, I'm guessing Share keeps in touch off forum with all of her usherettes; I imagined this exchange between her and Barry: Share: Barry, how are you? Barry: STFU Share: You're such a tease. Barry: What don't you understand about STFU? Share: I think you're awesome Barry: That's the most profound thing you've ever said, now STFU. and I think she is a awesome lady. Is profoundly awesome the same as awesomely profound? Just a few thoughts Bob. I think you get the gist of it. I think I do; Judy is obsessed with fairness and Share is awesome? I reeling a little right now. The wife just told me how much the vacation cost. We found an art gallery that had just opened in Aspen. And they were anxious to make a sale,and we needed to replace some artwork over the two beds. Luckily that expense will be shared by three. But still, sort of reality check going on now. I sympathize, although I'm sure the art is beautiful. Happy first day of the new year! Happy New Year to you too! And Steve, I love you man, but if someone, whose motives are suspect - hands you a shovel - it's generally considered not a good idea to take it and start digging; that might not be just a hand he has behind his back.
