    "Playful communication helps you:

    Connect to others. Your health and happiness depend, to a large degree, on the quality of your relationships—and laughter binds people together. Smooth over differences. Using gentle humor often helps you broach sensitive subjects, resolve disagreements, and reframe problems. Feel relaxed and energized at the same time. Laughter relieves fatigue and relaxes your body, while also recharging your batteries and helping you accomplish more. Overcome problems and setbacks. A sense of humor is the key to resilience. It helps you take hardships in stride, weather disappointment, and bounce back from adversity and loss. Put things into perspective. Most situations are not as bleak as they appear to be when looked at from a playful and humorous point of view. Be more creative. Humor and playfulness loosen you up, energizing thinking and inspiring creative problem solving."

    Guess you and the Lady will just have to content yourselves with owning up to a slight difference in point of view for the nonce.

    Dunno but Professor Wiki does. Here's a little night stand reading to indulge your fancy between any sleep walking episodes or recurring dreams:

    Apples and oranges, Bobby. The gentle humor cited here has nothing in common with the Nixonesque ravings emanating from your direction.

    I didn't refer to self-esteem.. I said inflated self-image. There's a difference.

    Fruits aside, let's leave it to Kew decide. Believe she's in a far more advantageous gender

    perch from which to relate to the Lady inside the Cavernous Guts of Google to decide.

    Really? You are ready to listen?

    You are a solid player, worth talking to. I don't mean chess.

    Yep, got the disingenuous, creepy and nonsensical PM's. Eventually blocked him too. Then I stopped coming to this forum. I see not much has changed!!
