Contrary to the mindset of your magnificent ego, I am not a fish waiting to jump onto your shiny hook. You seem to think I like the way you look at me over those designer rims that cost more than my monthly rent. But in reality? I favor that man at the health food store who carefully examines each piece of fruit for quality, never fusses about the price of the goods he selects, and bags them himself with great dexterity, style and care, never letting on he noticed my stare of smile. Oh, but I do believe he is well aware, and is waiting patiently for the perfect moment to acknowledge my presence. As for your hook? I'm not biting your bait. |

SUE, I've stopped trying to read minds and just watch what they buy. You'd be surprised how fast you can eliminate the chaff from the golden wheat. Actually, this technique is even better when shopping at the Tattered Cover bookstore. [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (06-21-2003 10:45 PM).] |

Now, now, no need for biting, just take yer lips and...OH. and laughing at Dunc. I started out with fruit, but married a vegetable. *wince* (Oh I know, the venom....) *ahem* But Kacy, you sure know how to say things nicely. Happy Solstice and blessed be. |
