River gal, river gal, won't you say you'll be my pal
Settle down now, be a good gal, it ain't gonna be long

Sit you down by my bed, downy pillow for my head
You believe now what I said, oh river gal

I'm a gambling man, you can see
Riverboat's been the death of me
I had a little ace card up my sleeve
Somebody found out

River gal, got no family, I don't know who'll bury me
Tell the coroner where I'll be, oh river gal

River gal, what's your name
Give me little drink to ease my pain
I promise I won't gamble again
Oh river gal

River gal, 'fore I go, kiss me once and whisper low
Tell me I'm the best man you ever knowed, oh river gal
Oh river gal

Mende,

wow thank you...and boy do I feel stupid...lol...well your reply here warrants processing first, as you'd allready sumnitted this before the others did theirs, and its been pending..

Char, and formerlyLavendar, please allow the out-of-chronological order of processing Joveski's reply-to-his-pending status; as I requested more info on it to complete his novel find, hence I owe it to him and his patience to finish his formal response from me first ; in ALL fairness I am very confidant you two will understand the no-readily-apparent fairness of processing the rest of Mende's post right away; then yours. Thanks U 2.


OK Mende.

Mende, oh man I am sorry, and embarrassed, it was in my main reference datum for the game all along, in an area I had needed to consult yet, and also lacked the foresite to dump into my game prog database. - and I did you, the group, not to mention Wayne Francis a disservice in mis-stating saddenned reluctance over it not being there. oooOOPS " - there , maybe no one will recognize me now....until I talk or write...

So, in my characteriscially histrionic reply fashion to yours; by-contrast , carefuly considered words, and a laconic writer and I assume talker , meant in the best of ways, (the definition numbered choice of meaning in different contexts_: of few, but well considered and meaningful words, or in Webster's - Concise. (this Case)corfid Monks in brown robes, rope belts...... which...uhmm we ain't ! lol

So BIZ:
