That's okay, Kabu. Sometimes those 'old-fashioned words' sound much better than some of the politically correct-driven drivel they use today . . .

Re: Re:
LOL....I delve around too much in historical archives looking for clues and bits of facts for my writing...tends to make me write old fashioned words or sayings at times.

Re:
I know I probably would, Dr JPT. Not only am I not into fishing, but I'm not much of a seafood eater anyway! At that diner I would probably have gotten a BLT or something! Nice to see you back . . .

Re:
I guess, FSI, it's one of those things that not a lot of people would have thought about . . . but I do! Not all of those fairy tales can have "happy endings." There's got to be a touch of realism in there once in a while . . .

Re:
Thank you too, Kabu! I know, I know, what would Monday's be without my 'wild and whacky witticisms?' Interesting description. Not a lot of people use the word mirth . . .

Re:
Thanks, TAPS. Believe it or not, these are all mine. I have a notebook with me 24/7, and whenever one of these things comes to mind, I immediately jot it down. I read something, I see something, I hear something, I overhear something, and my twisted sense of humor springs into action. And then, of course, after they're honed and polished, I simply must share them . . .

Re:
I usually try to, Bill, but somehow they find me! Somehow, I can deal with the mentally sick ones. It's the physically sick ones that can take all the mustard out of you . . . !

Re:
If we can't laugh at ourselves, C C T . . . And you like demeaning animals? To what end? Have they demeaned you somehow in the past and you're just getting even? And I think you should consider another diet choice other than just pumpkins . . .

Re: Jimmy
I think those spirits, Naut, may either help you to deal with the actual ghosts, or simply ignore them altogether. Either way, I would probably still hide the sheets . . .

Re:
That may be a part of it, adnohr, but I believe that it may also be people are getting more and more used to having others do stuff for them, like hunting, cooking and serving . . .

Many men love to eat and certainly would by pass fishing.

If you think these up by yourself, you are quite witty. If you don't, you probably are quite witty anyway.

Think If ate only pumpkins And had a wife I could not please her.
Pity you did not tell the cat, I like demeaning animals.
Finally as you admit to being rather short of the readies I must admire the hire shop that fitted you out for your photo. Also I admire a man who can take a joke and make one.

Spirits are a lot more difficult to deal with than ghosts? Not in this house - I have no problem at all with mine, be they scotch, bourbon, vodka or gin...
