Lol, Carlos. Those were the days. I don't know whether they were good days or bad days, but they were days, that's for sure.

Hehe. I can also confirm that they were indeed days. A delicious mixed bag.

I love this format with its bitesized smakful bits. I am quite taken with the words I inadvertently cr3eate because I can't tuch-type, even though I'm a published author. . . Typos are ways I self-entertain, which I always say is "a very high-frequency state" that leys the sOoul shine thru. :-D

Thank you for the lovely comment, Penney! And I love that description of typos too. Brilliant! I'm glad the non-tuch-typing has its benefits - something which I can relate to. Here's to self-entertainment.

Omg. So much laughing I nearly choked on my breakfast and my cats are clearly wondering what happened to me.

Great content. More of this writing, please!

You're a gem! Thanks, WB! I'm glad it generated a chuckle or two. I'll have to try and bring out this format again then.

I'm loving the 'tall timber' in your spelling Mike. It's a great phrase I may use to help my lovely dyslexics.

Oh great reference. Definitely. I'd like to see more braces/suspenders worn in gangs these days!
