For John Moore and Brom

[stevebody]

I kinda like the "troll" thing! "3 Billygoats Gruff" was my favorite story when I was a kid.

As for Drew treting me like I'm not there, I can only pray that continues.

I've been routinely villified on this and other forums because I state my opinions in a way that is not very PC. I can only pray that continues, too. I was raised by straight-talking, no-BS Virginia mountaineers and inherited both the wild intelligence that runs through our family and the inability to tap-dance around what I find to be true. You may toss out anything I write, anytime you like. but one little nugget of wisdom my grandfather passed along to me rings ever more true as I get older: You can learn just as much from a fool as you can from a prophet, if you bother to listen.

I may not agree with some of the folks on this forum but I ALWAYS give what they write my full attention and CONSIDER it before disagreeing. I've learned a lot here, ESPECIALLY from Foodie, the person with whom I've been most contentious. I simply don't agree with him sometimes. That doesn't make him stupid.

I'm still reading the forums when I have time but I'm busy renovating our rental properties - doing the work myself; not hiring it out - and with Judye's therapy. She's getting close to walking and now we kick it up a notch, so I only read late at night and while dead tired and don't even sign in. If I get moved to post on something, I'll respond...in my own trollish, non-PC way.
