As far as tongues are concerned, though, yours is more like a whole tree with
the branches all tangled up. That does create a barrier to finding the truth.

The reality of my skiing is that I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as
good once, as I ever was, and because of that I have more time to spend doing
other things. That translates into two days out of five skiing.
So, the wife and I decided to spend a day walking around Aspen and
Thanks Bob,
I enjoyed your comments. And yes, I can't seem to make a post without some
major typographical or spelling error. Sounds like a possible New Year's
Resolution. (-:
I like that image of the old boomers, standing in the corner etc., although I
don't think I agree with it.
Hey Bob,
Thanks for reply. I've just been catching up on some posts.
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. Now Judy doesn't like
that term. For her it something more formal. Now, nobody likes, or
And Judy, this might be a perfect example of what I mean by you missing nuance,
and choosing to interpret something in the worst possible way.
Share's comment sounds like a rhetorical statement, as in of course the tomb
was empty, or maybe, like, Richard, you know the tomb was empty, right?
Somehow, not all my comment made it.
I had added, that some of us communicate in a more gentle way, and others in a
more direct, even harsh manner. It may depend on which part of our personality
is more developed. Not necessarily making a judgment here, just saying that by

Bingo! For a liberal, (on the most liberal end of the liberal scale), you
continually show an extreme amount of intolerance, judgementalness, (if that's
a word), and narrow mindedness.
But in your mind, it's called The Truth, so, no worries.
Says our Judy boring us in her usual fashion.
Says our Stevie, intolerantly, judgmentally, and narrow-mindedly.
(What was it you thought I was calling The Truth in my mind, again?)
Oh, and I didn't know I was that liberal. But perhaps you don't read my
political posts.

Hi Share,
Second attempt at this message. I did not follow the conversation with
Richard and may have missed some nuances. But when someone is condescending,
you don't usually miss that. That's what I was commenting on of course. I
just noticed that Judy is anxious, as always, to
Hey Bob,
Giving things are good, hard look is good.
Parsing something into idiocy, or for the purposes of trying to win an
argument is bad.
I think it works something like that.

pounce response. That's
I'm really sorry about that Judy. You'll just have to forgive me, por favor
Hi Bob,
Those are high accolades you afford to Judy.
And perhaps viewed from a particular angle I suppose they might all apply.
But from another angle, or a maybe a wider view, those positive traits might
be offset by other, less attractive attributes.
As for Barry and Share, I
Hi Share.
I took two days off from skiing to get some business done. But my sister
arrived last night, so the family is getting ready for some skiing and boarding.
The town of Aspen looks very festive, and the village of Snowmass looks like
Emerald City as you are driving up to it.
Judy,
What may escape you is that the content of your posts are mostly the same.
So, in that manner the quantity doesn't matter. Whether you take a look at
number one, or number 20 or number 150 of your posts, it is the same content.
And unfortunately, not particularly interesting,

with content, but style points do count for me.

I feel I must mention this before the close of the year.
Best Advice of the Year on FFL, bar none, was from Share to Judy, Judy, it's
just a chat room
Can you imagine how transformative that would be if Judy could take that to
heart?
Judy, unfortunately this is where dialoguing with you starts to go downhill,
IMO. This has been where parsing, mind reading, and other features set in.
And at the end of the discussion, there is nothing to show for it. Nothing
gained. So, I might take a pass.
The only advice I can

why don't let us know what your high number has been so we can see how close
it is to 235.
Is there really much difference between 150 posts a week and 250? I'm not sure
that there is. But if you want to keep score, I would bet that more of
Richard's posts deal with original content than what we are seeing from you.
Just say'n.
That's pretty damned funny Richard. I don't mean to be an enabler, but I'm
gonna come out of hiding for this one.
I renounce all previous titles, and henceforth declare Judy Richard's Wind-Up
Toy. :-)

Exactly Share. Most everyone knew the context in which you made your comment.
And only those with the most nefarious intent would choose to interpret it in
the way they do.
Quite a shame that people choose to do that.
Sure Judy, I wouldn't expect you to interpret it in any other way.
When there is an opportunity to frame something in the worst possible way,
it's pretty much guaranteed that you will be first in line.
Or I should say, those with whom you have a vendetta.

Methinks it could be short lived if we get around to playing it again. I did
better than I expected this first day of skiing. But quite exhausted. Gonna

And that, my dear, is what we need more of. Richard has a way of writing that
I enjoy. And let's face it, he knows how to push a button or two as well. And
isn't it fun, as well, to see what comes from that!
Right. Sometimes there's no explaining why a subject matter captures ones
interest.
And it could be the same reason that I found Star Wars, (especially the early
installments), Avatar, and Lord of the Rings so enjoyable - that element of
fantasy.
And also, for me, likely a form of
Hi Share,
Just checking in for a minute. But had to offer a second opinion abut Hunger
Games II. Luckily we saw it at a matinee, when it was only $5.00. I found it
boring, with uninspired acting. IMO, you won't be missing anything if you skip
it.
That goes for Gravity as well.
Oh, okay. I'm not sure if it's something so grand as that, but it generally
seems to be a pleasant sensation.
Well as regards the meal. It sounds like our expectations are similar. And in
this case I think they were met. At least for the moment!
Good suggestions Richard. Thank you. The closest they might come to that
would be to attend the St. Louis branch of the state college. In this case
UMSL.

both sons went, and which happens to have the highest

when I post.
Yes, number one son in the midst of his junior year, trying to get his bearings
to some extent. But this year he has had to take on a job to help meet his
living expenses. I think, that was part of the problem last year - too much
time on his hands.

I may take issue with some of those contributions, but I think what she posts
