Why does it always come back to me? :). Every time
I try to palm #it#off on someone else #it# missiles its
way back again to it's original thrower/owner.....the "boomerang" effect.
In the way of Kahlil Gibran I have to admit that
"I have learned silence from the talkative,
tolerance from the intolerant,
and kindness from the unkind,
yet strange,
I am ungrateful to these *teachers*".

It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
warm regards,
Pauline.
