Kinky.Yes but that's beyond the current bounds of conversation.
I'd type more but, I'm getting my gear together for a trip... Multihour stints on airplanes tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it.
Don't think a lack of reply is lack of interest in our conversation... I don't know what my connectivity situation will be over the next few days.

REPORTER! HOW INSULTING!Then I will be more direct: are you a member of Law Enforcement?
Don't I come across as more intelligent than that?You do come across as intelligent. And charming. Which makes me suspicious. And intrigued.
And here I was enjoying how civil things have been and you have to beinsulting... (Tongue firmly in cheek)Well I don't have to be insulting, but occasionally it is fun.

Thanks for the heads up. Otherwise obviously I might've been devastated, just sitting here, waiting, waiting, waiting, reloading gmail again and again, asking myself why ohmigod why did he stop writing to me?!
Yeah.
Have a safe trip.

Intrigued... Hmmmm flattery will get you everywhere.
Well I don't have to be insulting, but occasionally it is fun.I prefer calling it snarky... Insulting can be a bit mean at times.

Yeah.
Have a safe trip.
Yes... modest and polite... that's me.... I stand when people approach my table when I'm out somewhere... I Hold the door and chair for ladies... I've been told I'm very old fashioned in that way. Thus the polite indication of (the possible) absence from a conversation. It's an Internet etiquette thing that I think is required....
and... you know you have been interested to see the messages coming your way when they pop up.
;)

I prefer calling it snarky... Insulting can be a bit mean at times.Funny how people view even minute things so differently. I consider snarkiness unnecessary meanness. Insults are reserved for the deserving, thereby supposed to be mean.
Oh I KNEW you'd react (or act) that way! ;)I'm the epitome of predictability, what can I say?

(Psst... it's better to admit you don't want to tell me than it is to fib your age -- no doubt the polite you understands.)
and... you know you have been interested to see the messages coming your way when they pop up.Absolutely. Nothing generates interest quite like a new toy. ;)

Well it turns out that the dearth of Internet connectivity during my travels (so far) is not what I expected. They have wi-fi on the aircraft now and I'm just the type to take advantage of it to keep from being bored out of my skull. I do have the good sense to have reading material both on the computer and in my bag though.
On to todays items....

No one ever sees things the same way you do be it physical reality or other more esoteric things.
I'm the epitome of predictability, what can I say?Oh I don't agree.... I just suspected based on how much of you I've read. I have that advantage over you in that I know your "voice" for lack of a better term.
How old are you? (Psst... it's better to admit you don't want to tell me than it is to fib your age -- no doubt the polite you understands.)1963 (but well preserved)

Absolutely. Nothing generates interest quite like a new toy. ;)And thence to be tossed away.... back to the back of the closet once the interest has wained... oh the horror of the cast of toy.

Yes... different perspectives are a part of the human condition.One of my many goals in life is to know what other people's perspectives are going to be before they reveal them.
Oh I don't agree.... I just suspected based on how much of you I've read. I have that advantage over you in that I know your "voice" for lack of a better term.You just keep writing; I want an even playing field.

I don't think I've ever written it anywhere but I do say it often: perfect age for a man to be is 45 -- old enough to be established, young enough to not be old.
And thence to be tossed away.... back to the back of the closet once the interest has wained... oh the horror of the cast of toy.[...]
Toys can be rebuilt, refurbished, regifted, reinvented, restitched, rewired, and repaired -- among other things. There is simply no excuse for tossing one away.

You think you will figure out via email what makes me tick? Yeah lemme know how that works out for ya.Well it depends on which gears I'm talking about. If it's just your interest in JADE or why and how you are motivated, then it's very possible. The only way into someones mind is via their words. Spoken is better for some communications (there is so much information in body language and the nuance of speech etc) but the written word also holds it's share of information, both intended and not.
Perfect example, I recently reconnected with a high school friend and, although I knew she was smart, it was nice to see that she could hold her own with the written word. It would have been depressing if she were one of these, "how r u" types. (Not that my grammar and punctuation are perfect, but I do try.)
You just keep writing; I want an even playing field.Gleaning anything from my writing?

I don't think I've ever written it anywhere but I do say it often: perfect age for a man to be is 45 -- old enough to be established, young enough to not be old.I've heard it as, "Old enough to know how, still young enough to get it done."
Toys can be rebuilt, refurbished, re gifted, reinvented, restitched, rewired, and repaired -- among other things. There is simply no excuse for tossing one away.Re-gifted.... Funny.... I've always said....I wouldn't mind being shared.
