Margaret,

Why are you irritating me so, LOL! Only joking.

Sorry if you perceived my response as angry. It wasn't meant that way at

all. I have been in a few exchanges on NN where I could have been

greatly irritated (and wasn't), so believe me when I say this didn't

even come close to registering on the irritation scale, at least for me.

In fact I make a joke about it in my last response, which doesn't seem

to have come through yet.

You have a great Tuesday as well.

The *New* Ten Commandments

" They told just the same,

That just because a tyrant has the might

By force of arms to murder men downright

And burn down house and home and leave all flat

They call the man a captain, just for that.

But since an outlaw with his little band

Cannot bring half such mischief on the land

Or be the cause of so much harm and grief,

He only earns the title of a thief. "

Margaret, I'm going to say this as tactfully and diplomatically as

possible: I really don't appreciate the implication that I am an

overly irritable person with a deficient diet simply because I happen

to be involved in a minor disagreemnt. My patience is growing rather

short with these kind of accusations.

Ok, not saying anything about anyone else... But in our household,

our worst disputes, moods, etc. do usually go hand in hand with a

relapse back to diet of commerce! ;0)
