You people don't play with numbers? But they are so ... inexpensive.

I admit it, my head goes splodey whenever numbers come into range.

You mean you just jump in and post "cold?"

I play with numbers only when my station in life demands it. Other than that, I leave them alone because I can't be trusted to make them work properly for me.

If I could find them, I would. Where is the number seven?
To: Monkey Face; NicknamedBob
If I mess with them too much, they notice, get angry, and come after me.

I thought everyone did that. You need to understand this: my mind runs all day long, making it hard to sleep at times.

Nah...I have to at least read back a few posts (sometimes 100 or more...)in order to know what I'm doing.
And even then, it's debatable. ;o]

I was fascinated, years ago, when I saw this construction ...

If memory serves, it was one of the ways of whiling away the hours for an American POW.

I know that must be important, but I can't for the life of me figure out why...

I'm seeing a short story where some poor guy is hounded and hemmed in by blood thirsty numbers...

Dripping, sickly-green, lurid numbers...with long nails that have their own blackboard "screeeeeeeeeeeeeee...."

All right, you asked for it!
Numbers
The world is what the world is,
You can’t make it perfect.
You can’t make it safe.
You can’t make it make sense.
If you live an average life,
Half the people that you come to know,
And love,
Will die,
Before you do.
This is a statistic. You can check it out.
It’s just numbers at work.
The cold equations.
Numbers at work.
Numbers,
Numb.
Nobody said that Life was fair.
One thing we know for sure.
Death is not fair.
It may be equal,
But it isn’t fair.
Young children shouldn’t die.
Healthy young adults shouldn’t die.
Old people, who have seen too much of sadness,
And have grown weary of the torment,
May welcome uninterrupted sleep.
But I’m getting tired of it.

Yah. That sounds like me, alright. Of course, I've pepbably seen a lot more death than a lot of people, beginning when I was 14, and even that's a number.
It never gets easier. It never becomes "common." It just IS. And you stated it quite well.
