Neil, I refer to her as Donna, from her previous identity here. She's very fine by me except when she goes snide, in an attempt to put another down.
As it happens, I am not much tickled by slapstick any more ! I do appreciate humour in writing, such as Fran favours us with, OM's dramatic expressions, or yours on the flow when not seeming to be a vale of confusion or veiled bigotry. Needless to say, I value my relationships with others here. Sometimes, just sometimes, I do reciprocate on behalf of one, quite as I would on behalf of a friend in a street brawl ! Right now, I am in the process of taking punitive action against service providers who have proven less than competent. The businesses I had hoped to kick start by New Year are now delayed.
