Welcome back to the Asylum, Linda....are you joining in, again? Or, simply getting a good laugh, out loud, from the "Many Faces and Unsuspecting Guises"?
Actually, not
so long ago..., at all. Laurie and Tchoc have been keeping things right up to date, in your absence. Now, perhaps, we can play a game of bridge [yes, I know, an unfortunate term, under the circumstances

]. Except now, we have YdF shouting from the sidelines, and Bee could still show up at any time, so we may still have to switch over to poker. YdF could referee, if he weren't so biased. Now that I think of it, who's going to be
my partner

?
By the way, lest anyone be confused by Tc's attempt to say
'something' ~ being prepared to join in on the admitted "fun" of others [platforms, platitudes, and scaffolding generously donated by Tc], is
not the same as what that convoluted paragraph attempts to speaks to. Anyone with insight would readily see a certain person's clear preference for
pleasant exchanges. However, given idiotic, unwarranted, and relentless attacks, writing techniques such as
reductio ad absurdum benefit
greatly by same

. It's been said to "Make the best of a bad situation"...or at least join
in on the "fun." Resentment, anger, and pain, along with the surprise, should be kept to a minimum by the initiators, as there are no rescue squads for the ones who who waived those rights when they started the game. Some teammates may rush onto the field, regardless, with their plastic box, First Aid Kits, but it may not be sufficient for the wounds.
You are a game boy, she is so serious at this.
Not serious. Skilled.
However, saying "Word," laugh and goodbye would be a perfect, typecasting exit for several. Now,
there's a
truly good idea...as long as someone hands Tc a Thesaurus on her way out. I see you all may be awhile, though, struggling with those complex, legal issues over the "Word." No wonder this goes as it does

.
What a shame that pleasantness lurks so far away from these pitiful few.
