Howdy formerly, say, are you far enough out into that cold Altantic to be in Atlantic time zone ?, as opposed to most of the Eastern seaboard in ... Eastern Timezone ? 6 o'clock here, 9 o'clock there - in Atlantic, two hours diff between Mrn and Eastern. Funny...when you are in reply mode you cannot read all the info such as your Delaware and time of post that I could a minute ago, thought maybe I goofed. Well back to biz
Q302 ...feeling bad = ?
Farewell to Annabel - Correct! It surely does.
I'll post your winning this one, good to have you in this set of ten; and Thanks for playin. Nail some more if 'you are of a mind too" - my in-laws taught me to say that, ostensibly originating in Illinois farm country, quite south of the Windy City. 'of a morning/evening/whatever' . I picked it up naturally from them, much the same as if a man takes his cup of coffee over to the fireplace hearth, typically in his own home
, a guest, usually if another man, will come over and mimic the position of the co-owner of the house as the case may be; human nature I am told - to mimic the body language of someone you are talking too in an affable comversation. Interesting, that.
'Course, when I spoke w/o thinking around my folks while Dad was still around, and w/o thinking say 'of an evening', he would clear his throat unneccesarily ( one of many distinct male gestures - the older men get, the louder and more demonstrative they get, such as ritualistically making a loudish noise when they enter the room or expecially a resteraunt, that sort of thing.
Then they grow much, much older and quiet back down again; sad to watch, that. The loud, gregarious gestures and purplish blood pressure showing itself in resteraunts when two families or two couples get together, even two business people for lunch, the man will most commonly make a big to-do , and louder than the other, some say to 'assert alpha male dominance' - I say horsesh88 to that, I've seen it, and I find it to be a man over that 45 yr old hump and on the leewrd side of 50; making sufficent noises to let all those around know there is
still a bull of the woods to contend with.
Funny and odd, aren't we, don't you women think so ? (eyeing possible exits with a perfunctory nod and a furtive glance she is..lol). Academic, I know. And not all men, not all situations, otherwise that starts to form the stereotype portrayed in sit-coms - the last bastion of acceptable politically correct stereotyping and consequential resultant prejudice allowed - of the male, who is almost invariably the baffon in sitcoms. Its revenge of the generations of women and suffrage I think, still getting its angst out in the open.
OK I'm doing to much Chris Stevens character from Northern Exposure on the radio...lol... I'll say now ' geo Steve - out. Thanks for playing formerlyLavender ! You thought you were just making an entry, and look at the thesis I wound up with on ritual anthropological behavior of men as I percieve other men than myself !
Now you'll probably NEVER come back ! Sorry 'bout that Chief ! So, the Big 'X' cometh. Thanks....please do come back...
