The problem, of course, is distinguishing trolls from normal people...with the exception of Freud.

I hate to be asked to consider Freud exceptional, but I do take your point.



With respect to the others, one thing the internet has done is to make trolls out of "normal" people at an ever-increasing rate.

There's a little troll in all of us...and a massive troll in some of us.

Thanks!  I'm not French, of course, nor a paratrooper... I use it only in the more generic sense some others do.

May I enquire, with respect and no malice intent, what brings you to our shores in recent times.



I'm pretty sure your last departure had a tone of finality to it, yet here you are?



Did you miss us?

Did you miss us?

No, I'm not a fan of the collective "us" of which you speak.  But at this time of the year, there is a very small number of Cashew folk who are courteous enough to offer me seasonal greetings by PM, and I find the practice touching and worthy of respect.

Then permit me to offer you my own best wishes for the festive season, and may you have a happy, safe and (moderately) prosperous new year.



Each one becomes more precious as the birthday count rises.

I agree. I'm on the low side.

Thanks, and my best wishes to you also.  While I agree with your sentiment about the birthday count, I don't seem to experience as much angst about it.  My allotted days are still precious, but at this point they seem more like a sort of epilogue in that I've already grappled with the Big Challenges of life in human form, and the only challenge at this point is just to avoid taking on too much karma.  As the (fake) Buddha has observed, the only things that really matter are how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of the things not meant for you.

So, RW, AKA "Destroyer", still has her membership here?

I sent Peaches a Christmas greeting.

I suffer no angst...but recognise that time is not something that should be frittered away, because my stocks are getting low.



It's more of a motivator than a morbid acceptance of doom.



I have an 8 year old grandson, and watching him grow is a joy. One day, he may marry, and I hope to be there. He may have children, making me a GREAT grandfather...but I'm now in the ever reducing age bracket, albeit in good health and heavily fortified by single malts.
