    Asking people sarcastic questions like this one:
    Do you know why adults always ask little kids what do you wanna be when they grow up? They are looking for ideas about possible career choices themselves. HA! HA!

Now, Mr. Whiley always refers to himself in the 3rd person. Bob hates this. Bob loves that sort of thing. Also, another forum member, Blood ON The Tracks, informed me that a character on "Seinfeld" named "Jimmy" used this comedic device first.</div><div> </div><div>Why do I do this? Simple really. I always thought that speaking in the 3rd person is a great comical device to act as though a person is observing life's events from a distance above it all like a near death experience almost as if you are watching someone else live vicariously through you. In a nutshell, I am paying homage to Bob & Jimmy because I have a fondness for brilliant comedians that make you think & are kind of like the protest singers of my generation George Carlin, Bill Maher etc. etc.</div>

    My thoughts going out to your mother. I hope that she has a swift recovery. Don't worry about posting much; your family comes first. In the meantime, take care of yourself.

      haha  Why are you apologizing to me...??   I am sorry I didn't know sooner.  I am glad to hear she is on the mend.

      @southwest1  I have not been on here much lately.  I had no idea your mom had suffered another heart attack.   I hope you are doing okay, I know your family has been through a lot these past several months.   My thoughts and prayers are with you, my friend.

      Thx Gramz. I appreciate it. I just meant that sometimes I think I explain myself adequately or sufficiently & then I re-read what I wrote days later, scratch my head, & laugh. 

       

      My incompetence not yours BTW. That's all I meant by my further elaboration. It's all good.
