Vic, friends tease one another. That is a key point of friendship - license to playfully tease a bit.

Angela I was teased a lot when I was a Young kid, I didn't understand it then, so please don't, just don't tease Me ok?

Ok, friend.

Thanks Angela.

I'd like to add a little background, please indulge Me:

I know people don't mean any harm here, but I've never been able to tell when people were kidding and sometimes it was mean, I just wanted to study back then and to be not teased, I eventually withdrew from most things, even dropped out of school as it was too hard to go back, being alone was peaceful. Yes I'm considered bright by My relatives, I could pass most courses if I was interested, I usually got A's or B+'s with ease(it just took some reading and studying, but there was nothing really hard about studying for Me, Must have inherited that from Moms side, bunch of College Grads, Her Brother was a UCLA alum), If I wasn't getting interested, you can guess...

You're the apple of my eye Vic, and that's just plum true.

Can you feel the love tonight?

Thank you Esme. This certainly clarifies why Vic declined my invitation to dance over in the Pun Thread last Friday night.

And here all weekend I thought it was because I have two left feet!

Well I didn't so when Chris said what He said, and I'm sure Chris meant no harm, but it was a bit creepy, may as well call Me gay and I'm not, just shy and disabled, but then what woman would want to date Me? I'm 6'1" tall and around 400lbs, soon to be 52 and yes I do have some grey in the beard.

Lol, I'm pretty sure Chris was just making a play on words and doesn't think you're gay. He isn't himself as far as I am aware and I couldn't care if either of you are or aren't.

I also don't think you are too old to get a girlfriend, but you would have to get out and about to meet someone.

Yeah I would, but I'm so short on income, that well going to bars isn't Me as I don't drink alcohol or smoke and churches don't hold any interest either, most seemed too stuffy/unfriendly even when I did try when I was a kid.

I wouldn't recommend finding a girlfriend in a bar. You need to find someone with the same interests as you. So maybe find some local groups, meetings or classes you could join. Even if you don't find a girlfriend you'll probably make new friends and have a bit of fun.

That's a problem out here, the internet and being rural made user groups extinct, classes would be in Barstow at the local community college, the gas costs for the car alone would jump by about 5 times and taking the bus, I can't stand long and sitting on dirt in the Desert, besides I don't really want to drive back and forth without fully working car a/c, so I'll have to pass on the idea, I'm stuck.

Yes I was, and no I don't.

No I'm not.

Vic me old mate, I was just playing puns with you, please don't take things so seriously. If you have doubts about one of my posts then always PM me, and we'll sort it out, no need to get upset or aggrieved.

They say that 95% of all communication is non-verbal. So without the facial cues, body language and tone of voice it is no wonder so many misunderstanding happen on the internet.

Then I must be tone deaf. Seriously, today I've been having problems getting to websites, while S@H was down for the Count...

Hopefully My ISP whom I called can do something...

It's hard getting enough sleep, seems it can play tricks on ones frontal lobe, at least that's what the TV News said, make Ya want to eat bad food. I'm still trying to wake up from a 2 hour nap in the recliner, still yawning. Yer all forgiven, I'm just nuts...

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

I suppose posting the picture I came across of a chair made of sheep's heads is out of the question?

Just say. I can post it up any time.

We cant stop you, just rather you wouldn't. What would be the point? to shock?

No more shocking than walking past a butcher's shop window.

I would post it because it's odd and interesting, I haven't posted it because I can't bear all the drama that would ensue (drama that makes absolutely no sense to me as most of you here will happily go and sit down to a steak 5 mins later!).

One kitten want s to sleep and the other wants to play, You've got to see this on the Huffington Post, It's Here.

If you've ever tried to wake up a conked-out significant other on a lazy weekend morning, you probably know this feeling. One of these kittens wants to play, but the other just wants to keep on snoozing.

Since it is forbidden, it ought to be a 403 error rather and a 404, but I suppose that standards are there to be ignored.

nah, you're right the link itself gives a 403. I tried if appending a .jpg helps, but that gives a 404.
