In that case, I apologize. I was not ware that you had been asked to keep the thread clean. Even though the word is listed, categorized, and defined in Dictionary .com .

I accept your apology. No problem-it’s hard to know the unwritten rules when you have not been on the thread since the beginning.

Thanks for your kind offer of discussion -ROTFLOL-but No thanks.

I’m afraid that would slide the thread — another thing that I have trouble avoiding. It’s a real bummer to have to admit to not being perfect-but I ain’t.

You have a really delightful day- don’t let this stuff get you down.
