So true, Joe!:) I'm not going to mess your name up again.:( I think I'd been posting comments to Robert before. Not eveyone comes out in an emergency...last year a wife near to us, chased her husband with an axe, then he grabbed a shovel and chased her. I don't think anyone went out to watch. I didn't know and I was waiting for a call, so I had my phone when I'd gone to see if they were alright....they thought I was calling the cops....OOPS!! Best to you and yours, Mikki

U could say that is true Joe.. a case in point well taken luv.. underlying meaning perhaps.. could be..luv.. perfectly expressive...

A very clever observation and it's often true view, Joe. If this is for Brian's latest contest, I wish you success! Love, Carolyn (Soup Mail returned)

This is so true Joe, at my job they are always giving us fire drills, and we are so bored, but the day we had a real fire, we all came out~~ and thanks so much for my 4th place in your Better Than Gold contest, I am very honored that you liked my poem about Dr. Ram~~
