Qoe100 I am a serious guy. And not being face to face how does one determine what is a joke or what is real. I respond to what is there , not wanting to add or take away from what a person wrote. One of my former jobs was to not add to or take away from what a resident said so it would stand up in court.
When you said you would give away or ???? your daughter for using something of yours, I imagined that to be an overstatement and not your real intention. So yes, sometimes I do see the the humor in things. If someone said "I told you a million times" I know that is an overstatement. But if someone said "I told him 20 times I take that at face valur or an approximation.
You are constantly alluding to the fact that you think I hate men. It's not that I think you hate men but you seem/say to have higher standards tham the average person and use stronger words than most people when something does not meet your standard or what fits your lifestyle.
Eventhough I may come across as calling you on being slightly particular, I do see value in your trait. Maybe I should be more like you and quit settling for good enough.
there are times when you don't understand that I'm being sarcastic or joking. You are right, I don't always know. Sometimes I do see the joking.
There is a lady up the street (business associate's mother) that kind of talks like you write and I don't know when she is joking or saying what she thinks is real. Her H and son don't know either. I usually don't say much to her other than Hi. Sometimes it is difficult to not ask about the elephant in the front yard when I see my friend.
Qoe100, My main reason for being on thes board it to learn how to have better a relationship with BB and other people. I can see I don't fit in to some circles and that is the way life is.
I was annoyed by your last post to me insinuating many things that I found insulting. Sorry for insulting you. That was not my intent. I just saw somethings differently (as you wrote it) and if adjusted to your style of writing, maybe I would see them as you do.
BTW, thanks for posting on my thread as I don't want to cause Jo to become side tracked. She really has enough on her plate and it's good her book deal is progressing.
