How could I have not known that?! <BR/><BR/>Sweet Cheeks, UH! <BR/><BR/>underOVR, WHAT?!! Nicaragua?! I’m always so amazed by people who GO somewhere. Is it lovely? <BR/>I’m glad you come back to me. I stop in on you also and enjoy what you say and how you say it.<BR/><BR/>Stephen, what?! You’re still single and yet you’ve got all that talking to yourself and grunting going on? :-) You're in the wrong city! Come to Minneapolis -- grunting is perfectly acceptable as long as you're smiling.<BR/>I just love how you write. Even your comments. Delightful.<BR/><BR/>Adlibby, I hear ya, baby!<BR/><BR/>Roshni, it’s very basic, isn’t it? Works everywhere, like nodding or smiling. <BR/><BR/>Jackba, I know exactly what you’re saying. And dammit, the Marines are grunts!! I should’ve remembered that – my nephew Kyle is a Marine. 29 Palms now after his first tour in Iraq.<BR/>Oh, dammit. You know what? I’M a grunt at work!!! As in low on the totem pole?!<BR/><BR/>Rene, good!! Oooh! How about John Cougar Mellencamp?<BR/><BR/>Ian, I appreciate your nod to discretion in not mention the lower bodily functions. <BR/>And “yes” on the Marines. I’m irritated that I missed that – then again, I missed a lot! Well, that’s the death-lure of the blog – sometimes you need to get it out there in a limited amount of time and get lazy. <BR/>Thank you for coming by!

That also comes from living alone for too many years. Not just talking to myself but bitching and complaining about others to myself (i.e. "If that cabbie honks his horn one more time, I'm gonna ram it right up his pie hole! With NO LUBE!"). I always forget that other people can hear me when I yell in exasperation at the person taking up two seats on the bus (one for them and one for their bag). <BR/><BR/><BR/>Grunting, talking to myself, shouting like a freak in public without realizing it... It's a mystery that I'm single, isn't it? :)Stephen R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05119958421791710858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-73526159775921179072009-03-07T07:31:00.000-08:002009-03-07T07:31:00.000-08:00Good morning Pearl,I've been sunning myself down N...Good morning Pearl,<BR/><BR/>I've been sunning myself down Nicaragua-way (<I>the 10-inches of snow was enough motivation to get out of Dodge</I>) and I just read about you and <A HREF="http://www.banfill-locke.org" REL="nofollow">Banfill-Locke</A>; my congratulations!<BR/><BR/>I'm not even sure now how I came upon your blog.
