    Thank you, Bystander

    for your comments at 4:57 and 5:43 (I think the times are accurate). It took me a little while to "understand" Mr. Celery, but once I took the time to read his posts I had a new respect (and affection) for him. So much so, that this perfect stranger sent him a get-well card during his hospital stay.

    I agree with you, too, about the direction conversations sometimes take here. Very often it makes me laugh, especially when Cocktailhag wants you to slap him/her and call him/her something else.
