    We don't talk like that in real life. I say something - you respond - I reply, etc. But, yeah - this isn't real life.

    Carry on!
    P.S. I don't actually think you are wrong. I have been so criticized for years. I think I have a few books in me and I'm a frustrated author!

        50/50 odds. I think it was Moore likely if Alabama had gone Republican (see what I did there?)

          No - I wouldn't have room for any more of those on my mantel...



          Edited to add: sometimes I just crack myself up....

            I think that was the calculation - Dems demand Franken's resignation, appearing to claim the high ground, so they could work to force Moore out, knowing they still had time to reel Fanken back in Moore lost.

            And, yeah, I saw what you did there.

                  hey don't look at me. When we restored tweb I just redid the smilies we had before and then added some new ones. There are some other odd spellings in the smilies too.

                              Feeled?

                              Perhaps "filled?"

                              Maybe "fielded"

                              And perhaps "citations" would be better than "sites?"

                              And I think "you're" is misused....
