============================
Hi again, James!  This is a continuation of my previous message to you:

JB>  "Don't worry, it'll go out of town, and that will not
JB>  be a worry for you." No respite for your author, so I
JB>  shouted, "I'll move the f-n' thing two inches from the
JB>  g-d property line, and you can do NOTHING to stop me."

JB>  "You know you made your sister cry. She's crying
JB>  outside now."


          Uh-huh.  So *you* are a Big Meanie because *they* didn't understand
or didn't believe you'd make this trailer disappear for a suitable interval,
and/or because you'd had enough of their attempts to micro-manage the
procedure?  Maybe it's about time they realized they can't force you to do
things their way.  :-))



JB>  As if us shy types aren't capable of observing peoples
JB>  behaviours? <L>


          I suspected you were an introvert.  So am I.  Introverts got a bum
rap when Freud, who was an extrovert, had a falling out with Jung & Adler...
both of whom were introverts, according to the author whose books Dallas
reviewed awhile ago.  She says extroverts tend to think in sound bites & may
not hear what folks like us are saying unless we do as you did with your
relatives, i.e. deliver the message emphatically in twenty-five words or less. 
When we get fed up I suspect we use the adrenaline pathway in the brain... as
they usually do.  Now that it's possible to track which neurons are firing at a
given time there is some medical evidence that introverts spend more time
observing other people's behaviour, and making sure their frontal lobes are
engaged before putting their mouths in gear. To an extrovert we may seem rather
stupid & slow of thought at times.  But as in the fable about the hare & the
tortoise, we're not so easily distracted....  ;-)



JB>  Now, move that control freak next door! At least the rest
JB>  of them live further away. <LOL>


          When my parents were alive we were a few blocks away... near enough
to get there quickly if need be, yet far enough to do our own thing.  :-)



JB>  Sorry again for the venting.


          No problem!  IMHO it's healthier than holding the stuff in....  :-)
