One day at a time Mav dear

Would it were so! Another year bites the dust for me today, so thanks for all the birthday chuckles with the limericks, folks. And yes, addiction just crept up on me unawares - Jackie had to it point out to me

In the circumstances, Rhu, can I be excused the essay please?

Puns and word jokes, however insane,
Make a maverick laugh like a drain!
The only real pain
Is when forced to explain
He’s an Addict – so kindly refrain!
