That's why, darling, it's incredible That someone so unforgettable Thinks that I am unforgettable too!!! :)

Believe me my little Desert Orchid, you are unforgettable but remember this, one day it will only be your words that exist, make them count. Take care, Richard

Hmmmmmm Mr Seal...You are very serious of late. Where is the banter and the teasing??? Auntie needs to do some more hand slapping. I'm in uncharted waters when you go all serious on me here. One day only my words will exist...WHEN I'm SIX FEET UNDER!!!! Oh...I want to be cremated....claustrophobic, you know...The idea of a box...yikes! I know I'll be asleep...(yes, that is my belief...no soul flying off to heaven, hell, or purgatory...a sweet unconsciousness like sleep...Biblical proof to go with that!) however, the thought still disturbs me. I want to be sprinkled in nature. My words are out there. Others must make them count, my dear Sir.

And sometimes, I think others are only their words...Yes, it is strange, isn't it? Words are way too powerful where I am concerned. ;) Thanks for the visit, my dear..........
