Those who learn only have recollection. I say desire could hardly have tasted the sweetness of learning. Those who learn have bits of paper to prove it which open doors and double their salaries too. I take on board your point but think perhaps you skimmed over the value of knowledge, both inherent...

Hi

Hello

Barbara, you are a legend. Probably certifiable but certainly a legend!!! I'm still not convinced you are not a piece of computer software though. By this I do not seek to cast any aspersions on your talent or capacity as a competent and thoughtful writer, you've earned your wings. It's your consist...

I hope Psychonaut and JSJ enjoy their love-in. I'm a little jealous but have very good reasons for protecting my anonymity. It's a drag, as they say. I wish I could be more open - more ME.

MY kind of egotist!

Yes it has been a full two years. Finances and logistics couldn't hold me back forever.

Hello to you!

It's just like old times.

Hello Lusia, I wonder if you know anything about parapraxis - the classical Freudian slip of the tongue. Proustian associations are a bridge from the 'outside' in and a parapraxis is an act of speech where the 'inside' pokes it's head out. I heard a corker recently when I was viewing some houses wit...

Hello to both of you
