Thanks for the flowers, Amy. I really wasn't asking for recognition for my part in this, even though that's probably what it looks like. LOL.

You have been doing all the work of posting and hostessing the thread, I don't feel that I should get any credit at all.

Anyway, I was glad to contribute, and I did have help from some of my FRiends. ;-)

You are doing a wonderful job.

There may be a few who wonder why St.Louie's name is at the top of this thread. Well ....... because he is my Hooligan Bro! Us Hooligans must stick together.



And also because he has contributed many hugs, lots of encouragement and plenty of artist advice.
Thanks ((((( Bro )))))

A law firm receptionist answered the phone the morning after the firm's senior partner had passed away unexpectedly.

"Is Mr. Smith there?", asked the client on the phone.

"I'm very sorry, but Mr. Smith passed away last night," the receptionist answered.

"Is Mr. Smith there?", repeated the client.

The receptionist was perplexed. "Perhaps you didn't understand me I'm afraid Mr. Smith passed away last night."

"Is Mr. Smith there?", asked the client again.

"Ma'am, do you understand what I'm saying?", said the exasperated receptionist. "Mr. Smith is DEAD!"

"I understand you perfectly," the client sighed. "I just can't hear it often enough."
