Egads! Whatever you don’t take advice from me. Because I kind of like “Egads!” although the modern spelling for that name would be “eGads.” ---

All of these are absolutely great, and for some, I’m laughing my head off. I’ll give it some more time, then I’ll figure out which one is the absolutest most me. 😃 But I do wonder how it got around that I’m an Alice Cooper fan? And here I thought I kept that on the down low. 😛 PS. **John** , no worries, hon. I’ll always be a fool at heart. ---
