Hi All -



Since Antipoean allies are growing, we might need to clarify a few linguistic phrases --

Yes, the difference in meaning tends to cause some confusion/raised eyebrows in Canada since we have a somewhat iconic Canadian company called 'Roots' hehe

NC,



I was thinking last night and this morning (I know that could be dangerous or that could be good), maybe some of the conversations on the board as of late could have been better worded but I cannot say it was necessarily a bad thing that they occurred.



That is to say even when people are on the defensive, they are still being challenged to really think about what they believe and why. Writing it down and expressing it could help not only others but the person posting to see that maybe there is more to consider then just one POV.



The vets have had an unfair advantage having years and thousands of posts under their belt and also talking to those on the other side of the coin before they have drawn the conclusions they have.

Whether you think you can or you think you can't you are probably right. A parrot can repeat what it has learned but the mark of true intelligence is applying what is learned.

I often say I'm rooting for newbies! I guess I should add, "if yer hot." ;)

Hey, I'm from the south and, man-oh-man, I could write in idioms and vernacular that would have y'all scratching your heads in confusion. I'm fluent in Redneck, ya know!

If you are fluent in Redneck, then you probably consider this your favorite Redneck Song:



"Git yeur tongue outta ma mouth, cauz I'm kissin' you goodbye"





"You can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present"

Hi E1



Maybe i should apply the 48hour rule to some of my responses !!



You nailed it a while back.. i am a stubborn ...... This has helped hugely in maintaining NC for me. But it also follows through on some of my more deep seated convictions.

I'd give my left arm for a good root! ha. Um, on that note... is Cialis tasteless? Do you think it'd be less detectable in H's coke or his coffee??
