Lisa,

Love the quote but "a closet histrionic" is an oxymoron. Be proud of those histrionics since we like certain people precisely because of those traits. Head up, girl! Faith

Thank you, Faith. I think that's why I like to use the term. Secretly, I would love the attention but intuitively I understand it wouldn't be the attention that would be for my ultimate good.....

I love to laugh at myself and embrace my neurotic nature and have found it to be a great way to cope with my shortcomings!

Have A Good Day If You Want To

Sometimes, my dyslexia kicks-in, and it turns out to look more like DUMBACRONYMS

Very nice! And I do want to have a good day today, and so far it has been.

Hey, it's all Chinese to me.

One cliche that always irritates me is, "It's always in the last place you look". As Billy Connolly observed, once you've found it, why continue looking?

Another one is "in other words" - the implication is that I'm dumbing it down (another cliche) for you.

If we're going to get picky, I get slightly annoyed when the "Mr/Mrs/Ms" section of forms is called title. It's salutation, dammit - I don't have a knighthood or a lordship!

Nice work, Lion. I had to look at it a couple of times but it makes complete sense now.


Also, can someone tell when hating someone or something changed to hatin' on? What's up with that?
