"Nick, I will get to you in a minute. Just have a seat. I have to check out some other matters first," I explained, pointing for him to take his seat. Of course Nick darted toward his chair, only to jump from it in a few seconds. Again, in my face. Nick ruled the world.

Thank you for making that young boy’s day - and hopefully making a difference for good in his life. I worked as a para for awhile and there are a lot of children who lack what seems just natural to most of us, family-wise. My father was a high school teacher who took quite a few students under his wing.

I enjoy your blog!

By my unofficial count that makes 8 threads posted just today from various sources with one thing in common.

They’re all Swankswill.

here is a practical suggestion:

the next time you see the author’s name, just skip his post and save your time for something you like.

here is a practical recommendation:

instead of counting the posts by this author, just skip any post by this author and that will keep you calm and peaceful.

it will also save you from having to count posts. no real need for that, is there?

"it will also save you from having to count posts. no real need for that, is there?"

It's one of my hobbies.

I also like to poke dead things with a stick.
