I spent the last decades yammering to children. But, like most kids about 3% stuck. When the lil’wrekker left for college that big door came down hard. Oh, no. I found myself with words to say and no one to listen. The pet’s have helped. The cats do talk back. But, it usually curse words. I went lurking around and was steered toward the Dope. Aren’t y’all lucky? Thanks for allowing me share my anecdotes about my bad, bad, bad life. It’s been fun. Love you guys!!🙂 ---

Happy Dope-versity, Beck! I was one of the ones who chewed you out in the Pit in your first few days here, but you turned out great. It’s nice to have you here, and keep up the bad, bad, bad anecdotes! 🙂 ---

It’s nice to have you here, and keep up the bad, bad, bad anecdotes! 🙂 I do remember you. Of, course you were right. I was clumsy and inept. You called me on it. I already had my hackles up. Took me a few weeks to listen to advice and not be a thin-skinned snowflake. So many folks have helped me. I thank you all. ---

Congrats to our favorite Bad, Bad Doper! I’m sure the cats gave you a twenty-one yawn salute. Cats never recognize human achievement. ---
