I can see this could be a useful exercise. You already manage to tell tall tales in very few paragraphs, so to miniaturize them further mould be a skill indeed.<BR/><BR/>You're right - to each his own - whatever floats one's boat has to be just right! :-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-33590030825395065832009-02-09T09:06:00.000-06:002009-02-09T09:06:00.000-06:00RJ ~~~ eye to eye can get pretty boring ;-)Gemini...RJ ~~~ eye to eye can get pretty boring ;-)<BR/>Gemini is a natural communicator, but quality of communication varies from one person to another as much as does color of hair, height, weight etc. :-) <BR/><BR/>I'm with you on this - I don't like Face Book and My Space any more than I like Twitter . Again, it's that "Friends" thing which gets up my nose, and reminds me of schooldays.<BR/><BR/>I was quite surprised to be reminded by the husband that he has a Face Book page - and "Friends"...... <BR/>Quel Horreur!! ;-)<BR/><BR/>I shall watch him closely for signs of Tweeting!Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-77673176327380693932009-02-09T05:10:00.000-06:002009-02-09T05:10:00.000-06:00Well, as you know, I've become a Tweeter - I AM Ar...Well, as you know, I've become a Tweeter - I AM Aries :-)<BR/> Although to be fair, I don't use it to offer any day by day info on my activities. I'm placing super-short poetry and fiction.

The experts are not such interesting characters as the UK ones though. I really looked forward to seeing them each week, can't remember their names, but clearly recall their faces. I've often said that in my next life (if there is one) I want to be a Fine Arts Expert like them. :-)<BR/><BR/>TV, in general, is pretty dire here. I bought an all regions DVD player not long ago, so I could get some DVDs of British series to watch. We're currently in the middle of "Kane and Abel" a mini-series from years ago, book by Jeffrey Archer. We've done "Mistral's Daughter" already. Both wwere semi-American but not available here on DVD for US machines.<BR/><BR/>It's all beer and skittles isn't it!? ;-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-52341525245505397132009-02-08T14:54:00.000-06:002009-02-08T14:54:00.000-06:00R.
