Cause you can read her like a book? :-?

=================================

That AND the fact that she was a high school English teacher for over a decade. Heck ...I even had to build a library (of sorts) in the necessary room.

I, on the other hand, grew up reading out of necessity rather than pleasure. But one of these days (you reading this Babe) I'm gonna dig in and start reading some of those books I've been collecting.

Well, Old Grandad 114 is not a prime number, but neither is old Grandad 100 or Old Grandad 86. However, they will all prime you very well. Thank you!

You are probably familiar with this, Neo. But in case there are any young men out there who have yet to read what Benjamin Franklin had to say on this topic, here is a link:

Good for you for knowing that one, Rick!

Franklin also commented that fish and houseguests become unpleasant after three days, which is certainly true for the former, and all too often the case with the latter!

Steve!!! Good to see a post by you again!!! Neo is doing just fine, as he and I took our hiking wives out to dinner together on Saturday evening. Stuffed ourselves with crab legs dipped in butter and good WhiteBlaze conversation! He's a hoot! LOL

Tried to get LilRedMG to bring her hubby out, but it was too short notice. We'll plan another "WB Dinner" some time.
