I thought you knew and you’re right that, unfortunately, this time you were right!

There were a group of them at our local a few months back and the group were hanging on each other’s every word, whilst I, ever the nosy person, listened in and almost drifted off.

As for the cryptic posts on the blog, I more or less guessed before Christmas from the recession post what was going on but didn’t want to say anything as…well…I am renowned for getting these things spectacularly wrong! Unfortunately not this time…

Thanks for the comment though. It made me laugh, especially them trying to remember what it does and how it works and the idea of the brain reset. Very funny.

Thanks for the comment, Gail.

Who, in a state of sanity of mind, would choose to study something that will make him looked with disgust by women and with compassion by men? But.
We are not all equal. Some are worse. Like the two of last week. You know, like Dilbert and Wally. They are different!
The two interesting guys, in my opinion, were trying to remember what the object does and how it works. Each evening they do a complete reset of their brain…I spent four years to understand this. You will learn. Do not worry.

I get quite confused with the “past-present-future’ trilogy. For instance, in those “Back To The Future” movies I am always lost. :-)
Anyway – I do believe our life does “go where we direct it”. Oh there are those annoying interferences and all those unexpected obstacles, and endless surprises, both tragic and joyous, blah, blah, blah……but all in all, we are our own directors.

As far as those customers? I laughed right out loud :-) !! LOL :-)

Oh Andy, I love your mind. And although I am not a fan of duck – your description left me drooling. mmmmmmmm.

Love from across the pond
Gail
