- Go to War has been declared by Ell, and I refuse to ask her anymore questions.

I am very fortunate, jacenta. As for the positive part of Ell's makeup, it doesn't seem to work when I'm the one who makes the suggestion - odd that, isn't it?

And what a tale, Blanche. Ell is not into my writing it, unfortunately.

JohnMcNab,
You and Ell were married for 20 years before you divorced, moved to Canada and remarried? Wow. Acute survival instinct? You are a master of understatement.

I'm afraid not, Taps. She doesn't have the patience to teach.

I sure like your Ell. I think I need to be more like her. Does she give lessons?

Hiya word smith. Long time no read, and really great to do so again. Ell has daydreams about lying on a sun-soaked beach, word, but it doesn't sound like that's what you mean. I'll tell you something - I'm darned glad she's on my team - which she is when the considers it.

John,
Good to read you again. I think I need you to send Ell over here to help me get some stuff sorted out. She sounds like just the sort of gal I need on my team.

A brilliant idea, Whacky. I like cranberries. Today when we were sinking into the mush, we did consider planting lots of Willow trees to soak up the water, but cranberries.....mmmmm?

We were married for over 20 years prior to our divorce, and over here we have been married for a few years. It makes for a very acute survival instinct, Blanche

You two sound like you know each other well, John,
I'm still learning where Gideon's hot buttons are and to avoid them.

I'll be close enough for that, MerryAnne. I can't believe how boring my life used to be B.E. (Before Ell)
