    When it comes to virtue, absence makes the heart grow fonder is an adage she might try avoiding. Food for thought. Have a Happy and successful New Year, John. Vince

    This is amazingly clever. I am still attempting to enter this one. Brian sure makes us think, doesn't he? Good luck, not that you will need it. I love the title. Love Christie

    Ahh yes, something amiss, within I would say her perceptions of the relativities of tit for tat!? Smile~to be hung upon the wire, is not very good for ones heart~but I am from an old bloodline~"The man is the king of his own castle---I would probably leave her, sooner than later, stuck up there within that window~Smile~I really like and enjoy your writing form and style dear brother! Truely, somewhat unique from what I have mostly seen around here in over two years~cont~
