I prefer the word fantasize--I love to fantasize and
re-fantasize...and...phantasm?

Right on, Sistah! A lock-back does the job nicely...
especially on recalcitrant sea-life.

Also--will you give me some lessons in shooting from the
hip, Annie-O? Muchas gracias from Sistah J!

So what happened to the bit that said that things move more slowly here and a new person would have more chance of finding this thread ...

It looks like we've colonised another thread - steenkin' feesh-knives! - ever heard of Chaos Theory?

<sigh>

Bridget, I don't want you to think me fickle, but can I please retract my retraction?

Better to be filleted with style than hacked apart by a blunt instrument.


P.S. Jo - have you heard of 'Self Organisation'? An apt derivative of Chaos Theory, methinks!

Would you rather I thought of you as fickle or filleted?
Either way, you're welcome over here any time. Just bring your (getaway) bike...
