As they always say the gifted talkers always win over even the most talented ones, hands down.

As your being a "trained listener" - one would expect such profound diversity out of your listening (and comprehension) skills, above the rest.

How disappointing.

Yes, there are. So?

That doesn't make any one of them more noble or acceptable.

I think I could handle being sexed to death. If there's a good way to go, that's gotta be a pretty high on the list one from the usual choices presented.

So, all addictions are equally destructive and indicative of emotional dysfunction. Glad we agree.

If your light bulb went off know that I did not mean sorrow. . I believe that it would be safe to assume that it was a general, sleepy oversight being that it is 2:20AM.
