	Words.........ahem. They are prat and parcel of who I am. I parse them out kindly when I can. And disburse them at random when I am not in my right mind. Or left. I have often discussed and been banned for..........my use of them. Or the use of terms bandied about in my youth that are no longer considered 'politically correct'. Go on and chastise me......if you will.. I shall continue to use and abuse the King's English, as it were..... And all other forms I can utilize,. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty." As it is kitten, so shall it be done.
