The quandary reminds me of something of similar magnitude that an educator type was wanting to have as a lecture topic or the subject of an entire class or series of classes. He settled on “Things in the Universe” or something at least as vague. Needless to say, the enrollment for the course was negligible. Just go with “Things I know and would love to tell you about” or the like. Or simply “Stuff.” ---

> [@Senegoid](#): > > This means any person starting a new thread can put the entire OP in the thread title! One of the elderly people who emails me regularly puts the whole 3 sentences of his message into the subject box. I suspect he can’t really see which box is which on AOL’s email web page. As to Beck’s OP … As long as you include “Beck” or “wrek” in the OP someplace you know at least I’ll show up; you never fails (sic) to entertain. ---

You’re trying too hard. Just be yourself- we love it. Sit in the ol’ rocker and close your eyes and daydream of Bigfoot scratching his head because he followed your homemade tracks and they went nowhere. And remember. Bigfeet are clever and adaptive. Don’t be surprised if that game camera ends up in your kitchen pointing at you. ---
