My response to something posted today. So ludicrous that instead of taking it seriously, or insulting, I laughed… out loud. I even faved it!!! Eye roll, Dilly?

Lin, I can only imagine. They periodically make an appearance when their vision starts to fall apart.

Vision, hearing, brain malfunction... there's a story behind the title. Thanks for comprehending this.

I'd use John Lawless' famous three letters to describe it, but since you're well aware of what they are, I'll not type them here. I don't need a penny for your thoughts.

Lin, yes, I rolled my eyes too. it amazes me how some will post their ludicrous words to stir up the pot.

They can stir the pot all they want, but it doesn't mean we'll sip their broth. Eye rolls are appropriate, and most men hate them. LOL

I did roll my eyes Lin, twice. So they are now back where they should be and not looking at attention grabbing stunts. I have to admit it's interesting from a psychoanalytical perspective though...

Amongst other things Lin, quite a lot of other things. Anyway they've shown everyone their damp squib, you have to feel sorry for them now as they sit in it for the rest of the day. Haha, I'm off out now. Seeya

Haha the results are already in. It's similar to people shouting in the middle of the high street with a sandwich board on. Well, that's the grandiose explanation of something that in this case is more on the level of someone having stuck a post it note on their own back to let everyone know their deficiencies.

Interesting, yes, but don't analyze it too long or your mind will play tricks on you, the likes of which tumbleweed suffers.
