Marilyn:  No problem.  I feed the birds--even those pesky starlings.

hj: Do you ever ask yourself why?
 
Marilyn:  The birds or just the starlings?

hj: Looking is looking - not looking for.

Marilyn: I look, but I don't ask myself "why".  To ask "why" is to
look for a reason, and I have enough reasons already without
asking "why."

hj: Verbal shell games are so popular here.

 
Perhaps Hj, the problem is you would not "see" a non verbal shell game, would you?
 
Edward, shelling hj's game.
 
rob: you've just underscored hermann's point.
in terms of definition shell games, Marilyn seems
to be patterning herself in your own image.
do you patriarchicly approve? 
 
 
Rob, you make a judgement, then you ask a question based on the judgement, as if it were true.
 
Edward
PS: you did however say "seems".

rob: edward, you have correctly assessed what i did/asked.
thanks for listening. you didn't however answer
 
 
Marilyn at times uses my words, and she knows it when she does.
 
Edward
 

Marilyn:  Oh, thank you, thank you, alpha goose, for coming to my rescue. ;)
