Hey, I'm insulted. Mistaking me for G.I. Joe is one thing. But Raggedy Andy? Actually, maybe you're right. I never did introduce myself. My name is Andrew, the age is 56, the SO status is divorced and loving it, grown kids. Copywriter. 5'11", 165 pounds. Thanks for asking but I didn't know a strip tease was part of joining this list.

(Was: Ricoeur) In a message dated 4/29/2004 1:04:46 AM Eastern Standard Time, Robert.Paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: 'andy amago' may, for all I know, be a fictitious name, with no real referent), and further, for all I know, he may have 'subscribed' under duress, which would make his contract with freelists.org null and void, allowing for the possibility that he is not really subscribed after all. Note that R. Paul deduces (or 'infers' as he'd correct me) that 'any amago' would have a _male_ referent. On the phone /'andi/ is pretty gender (or sex, as Geary would correct me) neutral (cf. "Andie McDowell", or "MacDowell" as McEvoy would correct me). In any case, trying to see if there is some info on some _female_ 'Andy' online I come across this below. Funny.

When she talks of the sea and how she remembers her mother loving it and how much she hated it is a clue that she prefers to be a "boy"." ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
