> Phil,
> How can you say you are disjointed? I enjoyed the joke just as much the second time as I did the first. Of course, I suspected what the punchline would be. I thought it was very funny.

> The book idea is great. Do you think we should include not only the biochemical aspects of our minds that take us on trips through Lumptonia and the lands of Hypomania whether we want to go or not, OR should we also include our family background horror stories in which the bogs and muck and pain that many children get to learn about outside the home, existed inside our homes? And wormed their ways into our hearts, minds and souls? Just wondering. We certainly have a rich resource.>>Yeah.

> I won't tell anyone about the book idea, but one way around copyright problems would be to invite people to send their stories to an email addy off this board. Then we wouldn't have to take any info from the board itself. Hey, hey?

>Good idea.
I'm sorry the state is now winnowing its way through your brain. That is very unfair. You are very nice, and ...50!!!!! I didn't know you were that old??? Wowee, you seem like such a kid. 8->>>I'm a 50 y.o. dysfunctional kid.

> I'm still older, tho. I remember 50 being a little traumatic number-wise, and a greater awareness of being called "ma'am" but other than that, it went ok. Since we don't exercise anyway, we won't notice any particular deterioration except eyesight, hearing (did you know I have an ear horn, now?), etc.
