Brother JRO, don't encourage this life story phenomenon! Its New Yeras Eve and folks could get melancholy. Pretty soon there will be 250 cyber divers crying in the streets because they miss their special octopus or squid or trigger fish. Sheese - are you trying to create chaos?

Reminds me of Christmas eve many years ago. I was tending bar, and two other folks were working. Only three customers, and they were all lonely and drinking beer. My bright idea was to stack the jukebox with sad songs to make everyone go home - then we could leave early. Backfire! Instead of leaving, the 3 customers just got sadder and drunker and by the end of the night, everybody there was depressed. Lesson learned: never prompt a person to tell their story during the holidays (or any other time if you want to stay sane).

No need to fret MB, although I do have a woeful tale of love and loss involving a sweet little angel of a remorah from the Bahamas....I promise not to dim this board with my melancholy.

I guess this proves MCCABEJC's original statement, I think you and I are the only ones actually reading the posts on this thread.

Hope you had a good New Year.
