    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>

  1. How does Apple continue to create overzealous frenzy & demand for their technological products? Computers I get; iPhones not so much...The legend of Steve Jobs will never ever die. It's remarkable actually. I'm fascinated by it.

      brent, I agree, landlines are a good deal these days. Time was, they were not. However for call clarity, land lines are the best. Which by the way is another issue I have with my android, call clarity bites

      Exactly Nadine...especially here in cell phone no man's land....and my LAN line covers most of 56 acres...very good service. I only use cell for emergencies. The clarity is exceptional.
