Absolutely, Brian! Or maybe blame it on Ernie instead of hiding behind him? Better yet, blame it on Phyl due to her dizzying number of posts.

Hey, what'd I do?  ;D

Nothing, Ernie! That's why it would be so much fun to blame something on you. At least that's the way it worked out when I was growing up with two brothers and a sister.

Have a great weekend.

Perfectly acceptable.  You definitely had bigger things on your mind - like your BAHA gotcha day!

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Ernie:

We're a garrulous bunch who don't mind typing a lot in order to express ourselves.  :)

Jim 
4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

It means that we are a group of people who strangle people with cords until they...opps...jumped a line in the Dictionary.  We don't strangle people.  Instead we talk too much about unimportant things.  That's a good thing.  I'd hate to have everyone think that I strangle people.  That would not be good.  I can be loquacious though.

Highly amusing post, David!  Thanks for a good chuckle to start off my day.  And I'm relieved to hear you aren't strangling others - or as Sara suggested we'd be having a felonious week  :D

Ok, now that all of you are done bandying the word loquacious about - I'm hopeful Jim will step back in and give me the definition of that word  ;D

I could  ook it up myself, but that would take away all the fun.

Help, Jim!!!
