Why yes, His Holiness "is" pleased, and he wishes me to convey to you "words of encouragement" that someday, you, too, may reach my level of enlightenment that he, in his wisdom, knows you aspire to achieve. He did say, however, for you to not be discouraged in your attempts to attain "my" level of enlightenment, that some individuals seem to struggle and that perhaps it might take "you" a "bit longer" than some. :roll: Oh, I almost forgot, he did ask me to convey one piece of advice -- that if you changed "your" choice of reading material, that you might achieve advancement far more rapidly. Wh**ever do you think he meant by that? :roll: :lol:

I'm gonna' stick to Louis L'Amour, thank you! :mrgreen:

I'm a simple man. :wink:

As long as you are winding down to simplicity, I wanted to put a couple of sense into the issue.

Good Friends are not only found in the human world, but also in the animal world. We have a small set of these animals that are here to teach us how to act.

The Dog, is a good representative of children. They have an urge for fun, and not too willing to follow rules unless they think it will please you and then you will give them more attention. We can learn a lot on how to handle children by learning to handle dogs.

The cat, This animal has the personality of men. they are usually untrainable, they do their own thing despite animosity, they are independent thinkers and get into all kinds of mischief because they think more of their physical ability than they are capable of. They do not take orders, but will respond to love and reward. They have no deep lingering value for anything except that of their own choosing. They like to torture both you and their play things.

The Horse. More like a beautiful woman, Strong, durable, loyal, willing to take unreasonable burdens for security, Loves to be free from domination, but loves to dominate. Has hidden powers not easily determined. Maintains as mystery about feelings but will be loyal to a fault if properly cared for.

These three animals are here in my opinion to teach us how to relate to each other. We are lucky to have them so available.

Now, take a look at this, and give me your alternate opinion. I would like to see how you feel about these three domestics.

Wow, Larry, that is quite a post/comment to my tongue-in-cheek response to Searching. She and I have a short history in verbally toying with each other.

But to be quite blunt, and short in my reply to your quest for my opinion...I have no problem with your descriptions of the three "domestics". Well put. I feel no need to elaborate on them, any further.

I do wonder what is meant by, "I wanted to put a couple of sense into the issue"? Your wording left me somewhat confused, as to your purpose/need for explanation.

Did he mean "cents", or did he mean to add "sense" to his issue(s)?

Damn, Salty...I never thought of that (cents) possibility. Although it is a stretch, that could be what he meant. Honestly, I am not sure, but, would like it clarified. Larry is usually very clear and concise.

Thanks for your input, Leatherneck! :mrgreen:

Surrrreeee!! :roll: I must tell you, so that you don't continue to work yourself into such a tizzy in an effort to attain my level of "enlightenment" and, I rather think Sgt. Major will be as disappointed as moi, because I was beginning to think she was enjoying seeing you in such a "lather", to discover that alas, enlightenment might "perhaps" be somewhat overrated. Ahhhhhhhhh!!

Enlightenment did indeed yesterday make me become aware of the fact that halfway to the Amish, I had neither dash lights nor, more to the point and worse yet, headlights. So, I turned around, knowing that I had just driven 50 miles for nothing, but enlightened to know I would still be in one piece when I arrived home.

This morning, however, being enlightened did not ease my painful shoulder, after ramming the driver's side door with my shoulder because it was frozen shut as were all other pieces and parts of the vehicle that normally opened and I was ALREADY late.

Nor did enlightenment do a thing for me, when I began having difficulty shifting from Park to Drive, because after about the 5th time of hitting the shifter with my fist and then my forearm, they joined my shoulder in pain. This disillusionment continued as I drove, obviously now fallen from grace, when I discovered as I tried various methods of attempting to avoid "Park", found that while the emergency brake could be used to make this lovely Dodge van for sure not go anywhere, said van loved the power of not letting me go anywhere, and for one brief moment in time, refused to release me from its lethal grip. I wrenched other body parts as I contorted into a pretzel to torture that emergency brake into behaving. That was when I called my husband, and as calmly as I could manage, desperately attempting to visualize my former state of enlightenment at that point, inquired whether our lovely mechanic had attained enlightenment as well as to "why" the truck had gone on strike. That is why I was driving the van that hasn't been driven forever instead of my trusty truck in the first place. He stated that after putting the truck on the computer multiple times, getting multiple readings, he and our mechanic had come to the conclusion that the truck was channeling "the many faces of Eve." So glad they enlightened me, I am.

My husband has now told me I am not allowed to borrow his Blazer. It is obvious that he needs to work on achieving a higher state of enlightenment!! :? :mrgreen:

It would appear he is in dire need of reaching your state of enlightenment.

:-( There are a lot of ways in which I need to catch up with both your enlightenment, and Salty's wisdom/experience.

I try. :hunf: As I'm sure your husband does. :lol:
