What is the point of your deception?
What is the point of hers?
Deception is not always a bad thing, sometimes it is a kindness where cruelty is unnecessary.

Pat
This reminds me of a woman I meet sometimes when we both walk our pooches. She turns on the tap, and on and on it goes...It doesn't help that she's from Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne, that is, the place where they don't need additional coal etc. (I'm not sure that the mines are still working, actually), and she has never bothered to learn Canadian...

Hah - I'd love to hear him take a shot at our politicians!! As for 'T', I met more than one with similar problems when I was working with the homeless. I could sit and listen for hours then, but am not sure I could do it now.

First of all, I love Shakespeare. It's like something that always and ever entertains. I love trying to read it out loud. My oldest sis and I used to communicate by making our words and sentences similate Shakespeare writings. We still do it now and then but Parkinsons is ruining her voice and her desires to have fun, though never her wit.
Second, jumping down to the end, I think everyone has a bent toward deception at one time or another and when it seems conducive to one's own well being.

Pat we all know that people who have time to spare like to spend it with those who have not. This is a prime catch for T. A friend she remembers when others were dismissive.
It would be interesting to know the background if one could ever probe that deeply, but I guess you would rather me send you one of my small pills that make one invisible.
