Pretty much...

Ah.  Perhaps in her experience cleaning the plate only happened if
someone REALLY liked something... never because of politeness... 
perhaps there's a lesson in that... [g]

Hmmmmm...  makes a certain kind of sense... like the practice of adding
saccherine to just about every liquid medication to "make it taste
better" or somesuch, which makes it totally off my possibles list, as
I'm allergic to the saccherine...

Timing is everything, or so they say...  [g]  (I trust that eventually
things did slow down again...?  [g])
