Wow, someone as old or young as I and not even shy about saying it or gainsaying it. I love reading more than anything except to sing and of course really love scanning because the sound of the scanner is soothing and relaxing. Heard a nasty rumor about me that I had a sense of humor. Hope won't offend anyone since I enjoy writing in fun. That does not mean am not thrilled when you guys give those tips which drip like honey from your lips though never like clever quips when they wound like whips to hurt another, human or canine sister or brother.
