Boy Connie, you are so right when you say the English language is silly. I love doing crossword puzzles and often remark that I am so thankful I don't have to learn the language!! So many different meanings for one word!! As far as this business concerning humor. I couldn't exist without it. I think the most irritating about this problem is the length of the postings. Some were SO long and even if you delete they still stay somewhere in your computor Elizabeth ----- Original Message ----- From: Constance Tate <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, August 06, 1999 7:55 PM Subject: petty bickering > dear janet > it seems that everybody is getting a bit feisty and carrying the whole > question about humor to vent their own ability to delete or go off list.if > some one isnt in the mood to read a bit of humor they can just hit the > command mark all as read and then move to a sub folder. i use drafts or new > messages and click off internet -then i can read, delete or keep stored till > i feel like plowing through email. > what i usually do is put med info in med folder and jokes in a joke > folder,later i figure what humor my husband might enjoy and print it to > give him when i think he will like a bit of fun. > i realise that since i am cg not the one with pd this may not appeal to > others but it does make our life a lot easier since dear jack is hard of > hearing and refuses to get a hearing aid. since we live in a cabin in > mountains > jack is reluctant to go beyond market or post office this list has been a > blessing to us. > we all speak the same language .and seem to be quite literate we must > remember that english is a silly > language because there are so many words have more than one definition a > person reading message can > think an entirely different meaning.please be patient with each other as > there are times when a person just doesn't have the energy to be polite. > remember dean martin's song everybody needs somebody sometime and let's be > more charitable toward each other. > > sincerely > > connie tate >
