Well, now I feel bad. :)
I give compliments with gay abandon, not to suck up, but whenever I feel they are deserved. I guess I learned that at my mother's knee. I never give false compliments.
And some of my favorite complimentees don't like getting them. Well, Mair and Ted, you're just out of luck. I don't think I can change who I am even to please you two. :) I'll try to restrain myself a bit if you'll realize that I mean what I say, and that I don't mean any harm by it. Oh, darn, that probably won't work out either because I'll end up saying something like "I know you don't like compliments, so I won't give you one for being so intelligent and kind."
Oh dear.
Sorry guys.
